CNN —It’s been a Cruel Summer for Taylor Swift fans in Asia. Among them was Jordan Lee, a die hard Swiftie from Jakarta who told CNN that he had come “close to snagging” a ticket, priced $80 and up. “They weren’t violent but they made their views very clear, the same would happen with Taylor Swift if she came to Malaysia,” he said. Venues can only hold about 20,000 people, which is too few for Taylor Swift and her Eras Tour, which will be a big production. Taylor Swift performs onstage during her US-leg of the Eras Tour.
