Just days ago, Taylor Swift broke a surprising record when she played the biggest show of her career in Melbourne. Although the turn-up might have shocked her at first, she ended up being overwhelmed by how many people had come to see her. Now, although she had the chance to perform in front of 132,000 of her fans in Ahmedabad, India, she ended up letting the opportunity pass her by as she had no plans of performing in the country.

When Taylor Swift announced the Eras Tour, Swifties all over the world thought they had finally gotten their chance to see their favorite artist in action. Unfortunately for the Indian fans, there were no concerts planned. The closest they could get was Singapore, which would have not three but six concerts from the 34-year-old superstar.
