After experiencing the terrorist attack in Manchester, the UK, US singer Ariana Grande has resumed her Dangerous Woman Tour. During her very first visit to Taiwan, she put on a show on Tuesday this week at the Taipei Area. In addition to regular tickets, backstage VIP Packages were available for as much as NT$15,500 (US$515) each, not including a ticket.
A suicide bomber launched a terrorist attack during Grande’s concert at the Manchester Arena on May 22, killing 22 people and injuring 120. After that, Grande temporarily suspended her world tour. In order to prevent any similar incidents from happening, the event organizer of the Taiwan concert adopted the strictest security check to date.
According to Live Nation Taiwan, fans were prohibited from carrying bags or backpacks of any type, and were only allowed to bring a clear transparent plastic bag smaller than A4 size for essential personal items such as tickets, cash or keys.

WHAT IS THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ? Lying between Oman and Iran and linking the Gulf north of it with the Gulf of Oman to the south and the Arabian Sea beyond, the strait is 33km wide at its narrowest point, with a shipping lane just 3km wide in either direction.
