SINGAPORE (SCMP): American pop icon Lady Gaga will perform four shows in Singapore in May during her latest concert tour’s only stop in Asia, the city state’s Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong has revealed.

This comes after Singapore last year reportedly brokered a US$2 million to US$3 million deal for Taylor Swift to perform six shows in exchange for keeping the concerts exclusive to Singapore in South-East Asia, drawing criticism in the region, including from then Thai prime minister Srettha Thavisin.
