Walao eh, what a ride!
By: Astrid Zulhaime / March 11, 2024

After six sold-out shows at National Stadium Singapore, the only Southeast Asian stop for Taylor Swift’s record-breaking The Eras Tour has finally ended. It’s hard to say goodbye to everyone’s favourite blonde superstar, especially since there’s no telling when she’ll return to our sunny island. Let’s focus on all the gifts that Miss Swift left us with instead, namely how she helped boost the economy. Her power! Whoops sorry, do you have absolutely no interest in repressive concepts like money and capitalism? Focus on all the gifts Taylor Swift gave us with our The Eras Tour in Singapore recap instead.

Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour in Singapore Recap

1. Nonsense Outros

Rising pop girlie Sabrina Carpenter serves as the equally blonde opening act for Miss Swift’s entire The Eras Tour. Her catchy hit single, Nonsense, is one of the many highlights of the show, as she switches up the outros to the song depending on which country she’s currently performing in. What a creative and fun way to pay homage!

Speaking of having fun, like the example shown above, most of Carpenter’s Nonsense outros tend to be X-rated given the saucy content of the song itself. For that reason, we’re going to omit the NSFW lines from each outro she sang in Singapore, just to keep things classy and safe for the kiddos. Here are all the lovely things Miss Sabrina Carpenter had to say about Singapore:

  • First Night: “Singapore you’re so perfect it’s no fair!”
  • Second Night: “Singapore I hope you like my song-y!”
  • Third Night: “I swear I’m coming back here, that’s a promise. You cleared all my Singa-pores, I’m flawless!”
  • Fourth Night: “You hit a little different here, Singapore!”
  • Fifth Night: “I said, ‘Walao!’ Am I Singaporean?”
  • Sixth Night: “You’re the greatest night I’ve had, Singapore!”

2. Singlish in the House!

@hitzdotmy WALAO WEH! WE MANIFESTED IT! 🤭🫶🏻✨️ #TSTheErasTour #TaylorSwiftOnHITZ #ErasTourOnHITZ #ErasTourSG #SingaporeTSTheErasTour ♬ original sound – HITZ

We are never, ever, ever getting over this! During the show, every time Swift performs her 2012 single We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, she’ll briefly pass the mic to her dancer, Kameron Saunders. The reason? For the dancer to make a sassy remark utilising the slang and native language of the country they’re currently performing for. Honestly, the international leg of The Eras tour is the gift that keeps on giving!

In Singapore, here’s what Saunders had to say about the likelihood of Swift getting back with any of her exes — in Singlish style:

  • First Night: “No lah!”
  • Second Night: “Siao ah!”
  • Third Night: “Walao eh!”
  • Fourth Night: “Alamak!”
  • Fifth Night: “Wah piang eh!”
  • Sixth Night: “Hanor, abuden!”

3. Celebrities Galore

Just like her friend Queen Bey, Taylor Swift is the celebrity to celebrities! If you doubt that fact, simply Google the exhaustive list of celebrities who attended The Eras Tour so far — the list goes on and on and on, especially at the American shows. Despite being held in Asia, Swift’s Singapore stop is just as star-studded with BLACKPINK’s Lisa attending the second night of the show. Lalisa seemed to channel her Reputation era, dressed in all black with a leather skirt and fishnet top and accessorising with the mandatory friendship bracelet stacks.

Other notable celebrities who tuned in to watch Swift perform in Singapore included Sabrina Carpenter’s boyfriend, Saltburn actor Barry Keoghan, K-Pop boyband member SHINee’s Choi Min-ho, and of course, the man who deserves his very own entry below.

4. The Guy on the Chiefs

Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven’t heard, karma is the guy on the Kansas City Chiefs: Mr. Travis Kelce. The American football player has been dating Taylor Swift over the past few months and their relationship has been widely publicised all over the internet with every single facet being dissected. However, the couple hasn’t allowed the scrutiny to affect their bond as Kelce has consistently been in attendance at The Eras Tour since November 2023. Despite his busy schedule, Kelce made time to fly over to Singapore and watch his beloved in action, to the delight of all the Singaporean Swifties. Can we please have a Travis Kelce in our lives as well?
