Taylor Swift’s team hold ‘preliminary talks’ with Shanghai authorities. Taylor Swift's team have held “preliminary talks” with Shanghai authorities over the possibility of the pop superstar performing in the Chinese financial hub, according to Chinese media.
Swift's "Eras" tour was the first to earn more than $1 billion in revenue after it wrapped last year, with the performances credited as bringing economic windfalls to locations across the United States, Europe and Asia. The American singer did not perform in China, where she is widely popular.
Zhang Qi, deputy director of Shanghai's culture and tourism bureau, told The Paper they had met Swift's team in the city. “As for whether it can take place in the end, we feel that it will have to depend on the market and the attractiveness of the city of Shanghai. But we are optimistic that they may be hope this year,” he said on the sidelines of a local political event.
Swift began the Eras tour in March 2023 in Arizona, delivering a 44-song setlist spanning three hours and 15 minutes. She went on to play 149 shows in 53 cities across five continents to more more than 10 million fans. Swift’s tour made international headlines not least for becoming the first tour in history to surpass $1bn (£786m) in ticket sales.
