Comparisons were drawn between the iconic Philippine Arena and Singapore’s National Stadium, both capable of accommodating 55,000 concertgoers.
Devoted fans flocked to Twitter, with user @mart712in boldly asserting that the reason behind the Philippines’ exclusion from the Asian tour dates was the Philippine Arena’s alleged failure to meet the stringent requirements of a national stadium within an urban setting.
Japan and Singapore secured coveted spots on Taylor Swift’s 2024 tour schedule, leaving the Philippines yearning for a glimpse of their beloved pop sensation.
Taylor WANTED the PH – word from intel said – we didn’t meet the reqts. of the show. It has bn a gr8 frustration of mine 4 all of us that the PH does not have a PROPER national stadium w/n its urban area. These stadiums meet regular hosting requirements – the PH Arena does not. https://t.co/ZhTsIn4bvS
