The singer, who has transformed herself from a child star to a pop diva, kicked off her latest Asian tour from Tokyo, Japan on June 3. “Taipei!! Looking forward to performing on June 13th!” she wrote on her Facebook last Friday.
Her first Taiwan concert took place at the Nangang Exhibition Center in Taipei, during which she regaled her Taiwanese fans with all her greatest hits. She performed many classic songs along with her signature dance, while showing off her firm body, the result of intensive training, stunning a full house with her singing and dancing.
