外刊精选|新加坡下血本买断“霉霉”演唱会,得罪整个东南亚
美国流行音乐天后泰勒·斯威夫特(昵称“霉霉”)的全球“时代巡演演唱会”,近日在新加坡开演。霉霉在新加坡连唱6场,吸引多国数十万粉丝前去一睹偶像风采的同时,也引发了一场外交口水战。新加坡是霉霉此次巡演的唯一一个东南亚国家,泰国、菲律宾等东南亚邻国均质疑新加坡支付重金补贴,以此“垄断”霉霉演唱会的独办权。这场争端迫使包括总理在内的新加坡政府官员出面回应。霉霉的演唱会究竟引发了何种外交角力?“演唱会经济”兴起的背后,又是怎样的时代情绪?
Singapore Has Taylor Swift to Itself This Week, and the Neighbors Are Complaining
by Mike Ives, Muktita Suhartono and Camille Elemia
Taylor Swift has descended on Southeast Asia, or one small part of it at least: All of her six sold-out shows are in Singapore, the region's wealthiest nation.
The Singapore leg of Ms. Swift’s wildly popular Eras Tour, which began last weekend and ends on Saturday, is a soft power coup and a boost for the country’s post-pandemic economic recovery.
The shows — and the undisclosed price that Singapore paid to host them — have also generated diplomatic tension with two of its neighbors, Thailand and the Philippines.
Last month, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin of Thailand said publicly that Singapore had paid Ms. Swift up to $3 million per show on the condition that she play nowhere else in Southeast Asia. A lawmaker in the Philippines later said that was not "what good neighbors do."
Singapore pushed back. First its culture minister said the actual value of the exclusivity deal — which he declined to name — was "nowhere as high." The country's former ambassador at large later called the criticism "sour grapes."
An exclusivity deal around a concert, a kind of noncompete agreement known as a "radius clause," is standard practice in the music industry, said Susan Abramovitch at the international law firm Gowling WLG, adding that the scope of the Singapore deal was a kind of "Taylor-esque magnification" of the industry standard.

本周,新加坡“独占”泰勒·斯威夫特,邻国对此表示不满
泰勒·斯威夫特来到了东南亚,至少是到了其中的一小角:她六场售罄的演唱会全部在新加坡举行,这是该地区最富有的国家。
斯威夫特广受欢迎的“时代巡演演唱会”新加坡站从上周末开启,于周六结束。这是一场软实力的亮眼胜利,也是对该国疫情后经济复苏的提振。
这些演出,以及新加坡为了主办它们所支付的未公开费用,也引发了与其两个邻国泰国和菲律宾之间的外交紧张。
上月,泰国总理赛塔·他威信(Srettha Thavisin)公开表示,新加坡支付给斯威夫特每场高达300万美元的报酬,条件是她不能在东南亚其他地方演出。菲律宾一名议员随后表示,这不是“好邻居会做的事”。
新加坡予以反击。首先,该国文化部长虽然拒绝透露该独家协议的实际价格,但表示“远没有那么高”。该国前巡回大使后来称这种批评是“吃不到葡萄说葡萄酸”。
来自国际律师事务所高林睿阁(Gowling WLG)的苏珊·阿布拉莫维奇(Susan Abramovich)表示,围绕演唱会签署的独家协议,这是一种被称为“界限条款”的竞业协议,这是音乐行业的常规做法。她补充道,新加坡的协议范围是一种对行业标准的“泰勒式放大”。
