Taylor Swift concert review in Singapore: A near-perfect celebration of the singer’s legacy thus far
The set designs also deserve praise for elevating each era’s themes. For instance, Swift’s 2020 release Evermore was an album I had never listened to before this concert. However, its section in the Eras Tour was one of my favourites, thanks to the immersive background videos which highlighted the album’s brooding themes. Another worthy mention goes to the Midnights section of the concert because I genuinely thought Taylor Swift climbed up that ladder to the clouds.
Taylor Swift herself also seemed to genuinely be having fun during the show. She regaled attendees with a story of how her mother grew up in Singapore and later showed the singer her childhood haunts here. She even acknowledged the overseas fans who flew in for the concert, asking them to “make some noise”.
