Taylor Swift concerts' benefits to Singapore outweigh size of grant: Edwin Tong

Singapore's grant to Taylor Swift's Eras tour was "calculated" to offer the superstar a reason to play six nights in the city state. In Parliament, Culture, Community and Youth Minister Edwin Tong explained the government's considerations, adding that the size of the grant nor terms and conditions can be disclosed due to business confidentiality. He assured Parliament that the benefits Taylor Swift brings to Singapore outweighs what taxpayers have spent on her. Mr Tong also added that the benefits are not just monetary, but also cultural and social. Sherlyn Seah reports.
