One of the men that the group snuck into the show is Chinese influencer Yang Junhao, who claims he unknowingly got fake tickets.
“This is me after being told I bought fake tickets, and was brought out [of the concert] to be interrogated by the police… I pleaded with the police to let me stay outside the venue so that I can hear Taylor’s voice,” Yang said in a video on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok, which also featured him in a pastel purple outfit, looking dejected.
“I spent 12,000 yuan (£1,300; $1,700) on the ticket and didn’t know it was fake even after I entered the concert. I only realised it after officers brought us out… I am also a victim, I am stuck in Singapore and assisting in the investigation. It’s a difficult situation,” he wrote in a comment posted on Wednesday night.
Security personnel at the Singapore Sports Hub, where Swift’s concerts were held, said they had detained several people who tried to trespass into the concert venue on Monday.
Concert organisers said they would work closely with the police “to ensure the safety and security of the public”.
