Global pop sensation Taylor Swift may soon appear in India, though not as part of a public concert. Reports suggest that the globally celebrated singer is in talks to perform at a private event the pre-wedding festivities of Jeet Adani, son of billionaire Gautam Adani, and his fiancée Diva Shah. Swift has not confirmed her presence yet, but this possibility has got her Indian fans excited.
According to a report by News 18, a source revealed, “Taylor Swift’s team is in talks with the Adanis to perform at one of the pre-wedding festivities. Even though Taylor has not confirmed her presence as of now, talks are underway and looks like the grand wedding will mark her first performance in India.”
This will be a milestone for Swift as millions of her fans in India eagerly await her arrival. Still, her private gig performance might be a letdown for the fans who want her to give a public performance. In a 2014 interview with Hindustan Times, Swift showed an interest in India by pointing out how Bollywood was keen on music and dance: “Indian cinema has a lot of music and dance, which excites me. It is a great way of connecting with the audience.
This is not the first high-profile private event for which Taylor Swift has been approached. Reportedly, she turned down $9 million offer to perform at the UAE event last year. Moroccan-American rapper French Montana revealed both he and Taylor Swift were offered a lot of money for that gig in his now-deleted post.
If finalized, Swift’s performance at Jeet Adani’s wedding would be her maiden performance in India, making the upcoming Adani wedding even more extravagant and highly anticipated. Fans and media alike will be closely watching for further announcements.
