Pop diva Mariah Carey is to stage a concert in what is her third visit to Taiwan. The show will take place tonight at the Linkou Stadium in Taoyuan’s National Taiwan Sport University (NTSU). Free shuttle bus services will be available between the venue and the Taoyuan Metro’s NTSU Station starting from 6pm.
With 18 No. 1 singles on the Billboard chart, Carey is one of the world’s best-selling female artists. She held concerts in Taiwan in 1998 and 2014, winning over numerous fans with her voice. She kicked off her Asian concert tour in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Tuesday to promote her upcoming new album, which is scheduled to be released later this year.
Meanwhile, pop diva Julie Sue, whose career soared in the 1980s, will also put on a show on Saturday at the Syntrend Creative Park in Taipei, celebrating the 35th anniversary of her first album. Fans can obtain a free admission pass by purchasing the legendary singer’s greatest hits album, titled My Favorite, Your Memory.

In an effort to fight phone scams, British mobile phone company O2 has introduced Daisy, an AI designed to engage phone con artists in time-wasting conversations.
