Singaporean police have Sterling Prestonarrested three men accused of sneaking fans into Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert on night four.

The Strait Times, a Singaporean news outlet, reported that one man distracted security while another held up a turnstile to let three people in.

Authorities were called at 7:40 p.m. on Monday, about forty minutes into Swift's set, according to a police report.

One of the three people who bypassed the turnstile is a Chinese influencer. He was detained but has not yet been charged. He posted a video on Duoyin, China's version of Tiktok, to explain what happened. He claims he unknowingly bought a counterfeit ticket.

“This is me after being told I bought fake tickets and was brought out to be interrogated by the police," he said in the video. "I pleaded with the police to let me stay outside the venue so that I can hear Taylor’s voice."

He said he spent 12,000 yuan ($1,668) on the fake ticket.

On March 6, two Chinese nationals were charged in court. They will return to court on March 13. Information about the third person arrested has not been reported.

The police statement said, "Another two men and two women between 21 and 25 are being investigated for criminal trespass."

According to the police website, the charge of cheating for the three men "carries an imprisonment of up to three years, a fine, or both." Criminal trespass "carries an imprisonment term of up to three months, or fine of up to $1,500, or both."
