SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): When Singapore was announced as the only South-East Asian stop for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, Malaysian fan Hilmi Hamid immediately planned a holiday here to catch her performance.

Having spent almost RM10,000 (S$2,917) for his flights, accommodation, and three concert tickets, the 24-year-old web-based developer said it was worth it as he had been a fan since 2016.
