Influential Lady Shaping National Economies

Influential Lady Shaping National Economies

At times, it looks weird to see a single individual, especially a stage performer, influencing the economies of nations and states with her mere presence. She is Taylor Swift, the most talked-about performer of this decade.

Whenever she calls for a music tour in a region, that region gets bustling with economic activity. There are countries inviting her to perform, and there are countries that impose restrictions on her for their own benefit. One such country is Singapore.

She struck a deal with Singapore to perform at a price of 14 million pounds, but with a clause negotiated by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, which prevents her from performing anywhere else in Southeast Asia.

This has sparked controversy in the entire Southeast Asian zone, where nations like Thailand and the Philippines criticized it as an unfriendly act depriving them of the tourist boom.
