Bye, Taylor Swift: Show over, but Singapore will keep looking at you

SINGAPORE – “Confetti falls to the ground, may these memories break our fall,” goes a line in American pop star Taylor Swift’s song Long Live, off her third album Speak Now .

For once, Swift’s straightened dirty blonde locks did not return to its “factory settings” of wavy and curly within the first hour. Even the presence of her boyfriend, American football player Travis Kelce, was not exactly new. He had already been spotted in a VIP suite on March 8, prompting Swift to twice tweak a line in her song Karma to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me”.Even backup dancer Kameron Saunders seemed to have run out of Singaporeanisms for Swift’s performance of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, when he routinely shoots off the final zinger to Swift’s monologue in the bridge.

A significant number of these Swifties had travelled to Singapore from all over the region for the occasion. As Swift observed on March 9, that crowd “definitely the home town outnumbered”. Whichever gig you booked, and whether you had an up-close view of her from the floor or a bird’s-eye view from the nosebleeds, Swift and her dancers, singers, instrumentalists and stage crew went all out to put on a rousing, three-hour extravaganza of song, dance, set pieces, and stage and lighting effects each time.

Given the intense emotions that Swift attracts from her fans – and the unprecedented scale of these concerts – touches such as the live DJs spinning tracks and keeping the crowds calm around Stadium MRT station before and after the show, kept the peace while adding to the convivial atmosphere.
