Srettha Thavisin, the prime minister of Thailand, continued, saying that until the promoter AEG gave him further information, he had been wondering why Swift had not given a performance there. 

According to the prime minister of Thailand, Singapore has struck a deal to prevent Taylor Swift from performing anyplace else in Southeast Asia.

According to Srettha Thavisin, Swift has agreed not to perform at any more Association of South East Asian Nations events, as confirmed by promoter AEG.

Speaking at the iBusiness Forum 2024 in Bangkok, he asserted that he had been informed that the Singaporean government was offering exclusive rights to the island for $2 million to $3 million (£1.6 million to £2.4 million) every show.

In March, Swift will play six sold-out performances at Singapore’s National Stadium, which can accommodate 55,000 people.

Mr. Srettha remarked, “The Singaporean government is shrewd.” The former property billionaire went on to say that AEG gave him additional insight into why Swift had not performed in Thailand, something he had long wondered about.

It would have been less expensive to organize it here if she had traveled to Thailand, and I think she might have drawn more sponsors and travelers to the country. It would be worthwhile even if we had to provide at least 500 million baht in subsidies, he declared.

During his keynote speech at the forum, he declared, “If I had known this, I would have brought the shows to Thailand.” “Concerts can generate added value for the economy.”
