BANGKOK — Taylor Swift has canceled a sold-out concert in Thailand, which came under military rule last
week after a coup d’etat.
Concert promoter BEC-Tero announced Tuesday on its website that the concert was canceled “due to recent
events in Thailand.” It didn’t elaborate but called the move “a difficult decision for all parties.”
The concert in Bangkok would have been the night of June 9. The country is under a nighttime curfew
though it’s loosely enforced.
“I’m sending my love to the fans in Thailand,” Swift tweeted.” I’m so sad about the concert being
canceled.”
The American singer-songwriter has other performances throughout Asia during her current Red Tour.
Several other international performers have canceled or postponed appearances in Thailand during the
recent months of political protests and the coup carried out last Thursday.
