Dedicated Singaporean Swiftie appeals to PM Lee, urging for school holidays on Taylor Swift’s concert ticket sale date
The announcement of Taylor Swift’s upcoming performances in Singapore for three consecutive days in March 2024 has ignited excitement among Singaporean fans.
A passionate Swiftie took the initiative to reach out to ministers, appealing for a school holiday on the concert ticket sale date.
In her appeal to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, the Swiftie amusingly stated, “PM, I know you’re secretly a Swiftie too, please.”
Responding to the calls, Minister Chan Chun Sing amusingly proposed an alternative solution: he asked if any creative and enterprising Swifties could invite Taylor Swift or any other A-list artists to perform at their school, free of charge.
“In that case, we could consider declaring a school holiday. This way, everyone can enjoy this inclusive concert! ”
