Nearly 100 Swifties were left in tears after falling foul of an alleged ticket scam.
One victim, Thai influencer Chopluem Thammapunya, planned a trip around Taylor Swift’s concert in Singapore yesterday (3 Mar).
Chopluem, who boasts 379,000 followers on TikTok and 240,000 Instagram fans, said she left Bangkok on a 3am flight to see her pop idol.
Along with her pals, she eagerly waited at the gate only to discover that her seat had allegedly already been taken by someone else.

Security guards were then said to have brought the other person back to the gate and denied entry to both of them.
Chopluem added: “I also witnessed a seat occupied by eight people.”
The influencer said on Instagram: “I got cheated on my card for the first time in my life.
“I was in shock and couldn’t speak. I didn’t think something like this could ever happen.
“This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me as Singapore is the only Southeast Asian country where Swift will be performing.
“I eagerly awaited the Eras Tour for nearly a year, working hard to save up money.
“A lot of people have been cheated.”
She added: “The fraudsters are so heartless.”
Chopluem said she bought her ticket from an online e-ticket platform with many followers, which led her to believe it was a reputable company.
She stated that “nearly 100” fans had fallen foul of the alleged ticket scam.
Meanwhile, the e-ticket vendor she used has stated on social media that they are gathering information about what happened to then file a complaint with the police.
Chopluem said: “Every cloud has a silver lining, something good will follow soon.
“I consider this a lesson in life.”
