BANGKOK (AP) - Taylor Swift has canceled a sold- out concert in Thailand, which was under military rule last week after a coup.
The BEC Tero concert promoter announced Tuesday on its website that the concert was canceled "due to recent events in Thailand.” He did not elaborate, but said 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 night curfew though loosely enforced.
"I’ll send my love to the fans in Thailand, “Swift on Twitter.”I am very sad about the concert was canceled. "
The singer-songwriter has other performances throughout Asia during their current tour Red.
Several other international artists have canceled or postponed appearances in Thailand during the last months of political protests and coup carried out last Thursday.
