A Vietnamese female singer is controversial again because of her actions related to Taylor Swift

In the original post, Uyen Linh wrote "Friends raced to see Taylor Swift, Adele, and Ed Sheeran...". In the edited version being displayed on Facebook, the caption line has been changed to: "Friends raced to see the show, Adele even admired Ed Sheeran..." - the name Taylor Swift was immediately deleted.
