Fan base
Swift's popularity and interest in India
Swift, famous for chart-topping hits like Cruel Summer, Blank Space, Love Story, Lover, and Shake It Off, has a massive fan following in India. Yet, she has never performed live in the country. Her recent Eras Tour also skipped India; it only included Singapore and Japan from Asia. Swift is well aware of her popularity in India. Back in 2014, while promoting her album 1989, she acknowledged her Indian fan base, expressing her awareness of their enthusiasm and support.
