The deal with pop superstar Taylor Swift to make Singapore the only stop in South-east Asia on her Eras Tour is not “unfriendly” to neighbouring countries, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. Saying this at a press conference after the 9th Singapore-Australia Annual Leaders’ Meeting in Melbourne on March 5, he added that the deal has proven to be a successful arrangement. He also said that the incentives provided to Swift were from Singapore’s Tourism Development Fund to revive the industry after the Covid-19 pandemic.
