His pics created a buzz on Weibo but not for reasons you might expect.
Some netizens noticed that unlike Taylor’s team and invited guests, Jay was seated in an area labelled “public relations, sponsors, self-purchased seats” and questioned if he had bought the tickets himself or obtained them through other channels.
There were snide remarks like “Why are you sitting on a small stool next to the sound control booth? Others are invited to private boxes” and “Getting tickets from the PR and trying to pretend [he was] invited by Taylor Swift”.
Someone also wrote: “Actually there’s nothing wrong with chasing stars”, basically reducing Jay to just a fanboy.
