TAYLOR Swift is the undisputed titan and icon of the music world, and perhaps even far beyond. Even governments of countries as well as cities are now fighting over her! Why is it an issue for Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippine governments with Singapore?

It is estimated that Taylor merely entering to perform in a city brings in tens of millions of US dollars per day in tourism, dining, shopping, entertainment and leisure, and other businesses. The six-day Eras Tour in Singapore is estimated to have brought in nearly $400 million of visitor revenue.
