00:00 Taylor Swift's highly anticipated Eras Tour is causing disappointment among fans in Thailand,
00:07 as the Singapore government reportedly sealed a deal for exclusive performances in the island
00:12 state.
00:13 Thailand Prime Minister Sretha Thavisen announced that the Singapore government has successfully
00:19 secured a deal with event promoter AEG, granting exclusive rights for Taylor Swift's Eras
00:25 Tour performances in Singapore.
00:27 Prime Minister Thavisen said that AEG has informed him that the Singapore government
00:32 offered an impressive sum ranging from US$2 million to US$3 million per show, in exchange
00:40 for the exclusivity of Taylor Swift's performances in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
00:46 or ASEAN region.
00:48 This news has left fans in Thailand disappointed as they will miss out on the chance to witness
00:53 the global sensation live in their country.
00:57 PM Thavisen explained that while it would be cheaper to organise the event in Thailand,
01:02 attracting more sponsors and tourists, however, he said that the exclusivity deal has been
01:08 established already.
01:10 Reports suggested that this is not the first time Taylor Swift's concerts in Thailand
01:15 faced setbacks.
01:16 Back in 2014, a sold-out concert at the Impact Arena Muang Thong Thani was abruptly cancelled
01:23 with no reasons provided.
01:26 The Eras Tour is Taylor Swift's most expansive tour yet, spanning 151 shows across five continents,
01:34 making it the highest-grossing tour of all time, surpassing a remarkable $1 billion in
01:40 revenue.
01:42 As fans in Thailand expressed their disappointment, the government vows to continue efforts to
01:48 bring more A-list artists to the country in the future, despite the challenges of organising
01:54 such large-scale events.
