Xtina just got the go ahead from the Ministry of Culture in China to perform this summer in Shanghai as part of her world tour. Yay for my hometown!

This is huge news because the Chinese government is notorious for censoring content and media, and has frequently rejected requests for foreign artists to perform in China, including most recently Jay-Z.

I guess the Xtina camp was worried at first that they won’t get approved cuz of her sexual/racy past performances (remember Dirrrty?) But apparently the good old boys at the Ministry of Culture quite enjoyed it

She’s set to perform on June 26th at the Grand Stage, where the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, and the Black Eyed Peas all have performed before. Tickets are selling from $26 to $260, which is a lot of Yuans when you think about it.

I wish I was going back this summer. I bet my cousins all are getting front row and backstage. No fair! lol
