The singer had to cancel her appearance at the 2017 Victoria Secret show. She had been granted a visa and had already made plans to travel to Shanghai.

She has evidently been seen waving a Taiwanese flag at concerts. The Chinese are notorious in their efforts to research visiting artists to find out if they’ve done anything offensive to the nation.
