Taylor Swift cancels Bangkok concert after coup


Taylor Swift has cancelled a sold-out concert in Thailand after the country came under military rule last week in a coup d'etat. Concert promoter BEC-Tero announced Tuesday on its website that the concert was cancelled 'due to recent events in Thailand'. The singer took to Twitter to confirm the move, saying: 'I'm sending my love to the fans in Thailand. I'm so sad about the concert being cancelled.'

Sympathy: Taylor Swift expressed her regret at not being able to perform at the sell-out concert

The concert in Bangkok was due to take place on June 9. The country is under a nighttime curfew, with everyone ordered to be inside by 10pm. But it is loosely enforced. The American singer-songwriter has other performances throughout Asia during her current Red Tour.
