Taylor Swift is arguably the most popular pop singer of our time – including in China. The fact that their idol is giving six exclusive Southeast Asian concerts in relatively close Singapore between now and 9 March is causing a sensation among „Swifties“- as the singer’s fans call themselves. The city-state only recently suspended visa requirements for Chinese tourists. However, Chinese traveling from the mainland will have to dig deep into their pockets for flights, hotels and the 300 euro concert tickets. Meanwhile, a canceled Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight caused panic. Fans explained that the offered alternative flights would not get them to the concerts on time.
