Filipino fans of Taylor Swift were saddened and dismayed after the Philippines was not included in her international tour stops for “Eras Tour.”

Taylor on June 21 released the schedule of her massive world tour for the rest of the year and until September 2024. She also posted the additional dates on her social media accounts.

“EXCUSE ME HI I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY,” her post reads.

“I can’t wait to see so many of you on The Eras Tour next year on these new international dates!” she added.

Based on the schedule, Singapore and Japan are the only countries in Asia included in Taylor’s stops.

Moreover, Singapore is also the only Southeast Asian nation on the list.

Sadness and dismay filled Pinoy Swifties, Taylor’s fandom name, after finding out that Manila was not included in her updated tour stops.

All I think about is that she’s an extremely busy artist and businesswoman to me, and that she reduced her presence in Asia for the sake of logistics, reducing time and costs of production, with Singapore being very popular and practical place for performers (“artiste” in Singaporese).

That as long as one is able to arrange travel visas, it’s an open secret that it is cheaper to buy a concert and a plane ticket to Singapore.

Coldplay has some more freedom to do anything, as Swift gives me that super-hectic vibes that puts Madonna to shame.

Someone brought up her elaborate stage set as a reason so napa-YT ako ng di oras. Indeed, that long ramp way with the big diamond (where she usually ends up and performs) would be difficult/cost prohibitive to replicate here.
