TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Mandopop king Jay Chou and his wife Kun Ling were seen at Taylor Swift's Australian concert, part of her "The Eras Tour." Chou claimed they were offered prime seating by Swift's team and even ran into the pop star's father at the event.
However, this claim has been challenged by online rumors suggesting that the couple didn't obtain the seats through Swift's team's invitation, sparking a wave of skepticism from internet users. Some online users sharply noted that the couple's seats appeared in a seating area reserved for public relations purposes, sponsors, and self-purchasers.
Following these claims, a lively discussion was waged online. Sarcastic comments flooded Chou's Instagram such as, "Laughing so hard...going to a concert at your own expense then stubbornly insisting you were invited."
In response to the controversy, Chou offered final remarks, stating he only watches what he wants to watch. He showed a nonchalant reaction to the ensuing controversy, expressing his feelings through an unbothered, laughing yet crying-face emoji. He reassured fans and critics that he remains unaffected by the online chatter about the concert.
