Singapore Gave Taylor Swift $$$ & Asian Countries Got MAD!

Singapore Gave Taylor Swift $$$ & Asian Countries Got MAD!

Singapore has secured the exclusive rights to host Taylor Swift’s concerts in Southeast Asia which is making Thailand the Philippines and Indonesia kind of pissed off hey why so mad it’s just Taylor Swift he not talking about nuclear bombs okay uh but Andrew people are taking this very serious right now I

Know Taylor Swift almost has the impact of a nuclear bomb in a different way listen guys the prime minister of Singapore just had to come out and say hey this was not the Hostile act towards our neighbors I don’t know what to tell you guys this is just business let’s run

The clip well Taylor Swift is performing in Singapore we negotiated our uh our agencies um negotiated an arrangement with her to come to Singapore and perform and to make Singapore her only stopped in Southeast Asia and there was a certain uh incentives provided to her from our tourism Development Fund really

Is a postco fund to revive tourism after covid and uh a deal was reached to get an outcome which is mutually beneficial and which from Singapore’s point of view um serves not just to grow the economy but also to bring in visitors and Goodwill from all over the region I

Don’t see why not so basically David what’s going on is that Taylor Swift is performing in Southeast Asia but her only stop is Singapore right she’s going to do six shows in Singapore the Singapore government gave her a grant3 million on top of whatever she’s going

To make extra so an extra $18 million and basically it was like yo you don’t have to go anywhere else in Southeast Asia give us the exclusive rights right but she has a ton of fans in the Philippines Indonesia Malaysia obviously she has fans all over the world she’d

Probably sell out in any stadium in any of those countries right but she’s only performing in Singapore meaning that everyone else all the swifties from other countries have to go to Singapore right but it it is true that Singapore has for in recent decades had that status in Southeast Asia they’re going

To hold all the conferences there the economic forums in Singapore as well here’s the thing Andrew in East Asia she’s only performing in Tokyo well in Japan in general right all over Japan right so basically she’s only in Japan in Singapore those are the two countries with the respective highest gdps per

Capita in the region right right right so anyways guys we’re going to get into it there is some controversy but but I don’t know maybe we’ll try to make sense of it all so please hit that like button check out other episodes of the hot pop

Boys I had no idea Taylor Swift was going to cause geopolitical Rifts to be honest I’m not saying I didn’t know she was huge this is on a whole another level bro when she goes to a city even in America she changes the vibe for that

Weekend no all police are on call like they all get called in to manage the city exactly exactly like it’s an insanely huge event it is a record-breaking tour she’s doing crazy numbers I think the most profitable tour of all time of any artist um and yeah

It’s just like it means a lot because basically what’s going to happen if she holds it in a country is that that country is going to make more money and it’s going to uh stimulate a whole bunch of uh movement in the country a lot of

Uh hotels a lot of restaurants just a lot of like transportation and things like that but it’s like hosting the Super Bowl yeah it’s like hosting the Olympics like for a weekend essentially but it’s kind of but that means it’s a lot to handle and I think the argument

Is that people are saying is that Singapore has all the systems the infrastructure the security the cleanliness and the money to give her extra Singapore is kind of like the Japan of Southeast Asia and Japan is just the Japan of the world right right right no let’s be honest I’m going to

Keep it real I’ve been around to a lot of different countries very few countries run as on point as Japan and Singapore yeah I mean listen there’s beautiful parts of Indonesia and the Philippines and Malaysia we’ve all visited that but yeah I mean Singapore is like when you go there it’s like

Super super clean and super secure um let’s get in the comment section said somebody said I don’t see anything wrong with it they’re just being competitive in the interest of their own country and somebody else said huh what you want to be greedy huh greedy Singapore yeah so I

Guess they’re calling Singapore greedy because Singapore because they’re imagining that Singapore is like you know what we got to take Taylor Swift from everywhere else and she can only form here that’s it yeah all the richest people from your country are going to have to come to us yeah um I do think

It’s a money thing and obviously Taylor Swift she doesn’t go on con she doesn’t go on tour for like charity all right so she needs she’s going to make money but uh I think that it is a to be honest like a safety concern in other countries

Well yeah I mean you have to make sure that the safety the security the movement the transportation can all be sustained without a traffic jam and a little anybody little girl getting run over by a m mop I mean like I’m just I loved my time in the Philippines but

Even when we were there in a car there was like traffic jams and it was a super congested City so just from a traffic standpoint I can imagine that if Taylor Swift comes to Manila then the whole City’s going to stop going to be B way probably to be honest um somebody said

Uh this is what a international professor of relations said in austral Australia yeah it’s really nice to see those countries in the region arguing about something fun I guess instead of really deeply difficult things because they’re all really big differences between those countries but it did show you that there’s some tension and

Jealousy and rivalry um is that what this is really all about Andrew Singapore is the rich kid in Southeast Asia right by far I don’t think it’s even close to be honest gated community of your city right and of course they’re going to get everything and and just the

Taylor Swift is she’s almost the symbol of this great Americana that a lot of people thought disappeared in the 1970s but she’s bringing it back and you know what I mean like I feel like Taylor represents like the America Glory Days of old yeah she’s kind of

The princess what we say what America’s sweetheart so I guess does it just show the differences in security and infrastructure and then it’s almost like throwing it in people’s faces like we got the Michael Jackson of 2024 yeah I mean is it jealousy listen I don’t I’m

Not like an expert on the Southeast Asian geopolitics obviously there’s some feelings from a lot of other Southeast Asian countries being like oh how come they don’t how come we can’t have nice things or how come we can’t have Taylor Swift come to our country it would

Benefit us we do need like the Boost and economy and Prof and then Singapore standing on our wave well it’s not just Singapore’s decision Taylor Swift’s teams decided on it so think about it guys like you want to get I’m not saying Taylor Swift only cares about money I’m

Actually not saying that because I’m I think there’s they understand that when she comes to town there’s a lot of and she has a lot of young girl fans there’s a lot of young women moving around the city and that’s already a security concern in itself Andrew there is a

Chinese saying it takes two hands to clap I mean this is a pretty common saying in a cross cultures right but basically yeah I mean I think Taylor Swift she made a decision too but of course Ander nobody’s gonna go against Taylor yeah yeah I I think that calling

Singapore greedy is uh simplified I mean uh no doubt that you have to care about making money to become like Singapore but um this is just like even just this is just not for any other reason but possibly a logistics reason right somebody was saying in America she

Would only do a gigantic Stadium she wouldn’t perform at the country fair either yeah cuz that’s not secure and there’s no infrastructure for that how are you going to get people in and out how are you going to check people in how are you going to keep it safe not just

For Taylor but fans and mostly the I would say the people departing especially if the thing runs late in the night I mean listen guys I’m not going to lie there were some other crazy discussions saying you know other countries may have religious conservatism they don’t like her outfits

They may not like some of her support of that’s true to other issues and other like related agendas it’s unfortunate it’s unfortunate that you know if you live in a country that you don’t like the government of obviously there’s a lot of governments in this world that a

Lot of people don’t like that they have to live under but I’m saying like that’s unfortunate but yeah your government is going to also decide that so if your government officials don’t like Taylor Swift or don’t want to deal with her they don’t like her outfits yeah they

Don’t even like her what she stands for cuz she stands for America you know right she’s essentially like a walking beautiful American flag at this point Travis Kelce is going to Singapore to hang out with her while she’s doing her shows out there the Super Bowl buff bearded was he a tight end

Yeah is going to Singapore to spend time with his American Queen princess yeah this is like I don’t even know who this was in American this is like Joe dagio and Marilyn Monroe going over from like 1950s this is white American royalty okay right right and they’re going to

Singapore so while I understand I think other countries would deserve a chance and I think other people do go to other countries you just think about literally what Taylor Swift’s concerts due to her amount of fans and yeah it’s kind of crazy thing to deal with so yeah it’s

Very very interesting let us know what you guys think in the comments section below man a lot of interesting thoughts just from Taylor Swift getting geopolitical in Asia hey you can’t have Taylor Swift but you could fly the fun Bros out we’ll go to I’ll go to Malaysia

Thailand Philippines let’s go dude I just read this article about this girl in Tokyo who booked all four nights for the Tokyo Dome and quit her job in Fukuoka just so she could go to the Taylor Swift concert I’m just saying she got some super duper fans well I don’t know if

Her family got money and maybe she doesn’t need that job but Taylor Swift should give her a shout out what is it about Taylor Swift let us know in the comments section below cuz she literally got presidents and prime ministers commenting on the AA tour let us know in
