Taylor Swift’s Heartfelt Connection: Reflects on Family Ties to Singapore During Unforgettable Eras Tour Stop
In a touching moment that added an emotional layer to her already mesmerizing Eras Tour, Taylor Swift took a pause during her performance at the National Stadium in Singapore to reflect on the deep family ties she holds with the city.
The pop superstar, known for her raw and authentic connection with her audience, revealed the significance of Singapore in her family’s history. In a fan-captured video shared on X (formerly Twitter), Taylor spoke about her mother, Andrea Swift, who spent a significant part of her childhood in Singapore with her parents and sister.
“My mom actually spent a lot of her childhood with her mom and dad and sister growing up in Singapore,” Taylor shared with the audience, her voice resonating with nostalgia and affection.
As she graced the stage for the first of six shows at the National Stadium, Taylor opened up about the tradition she shares with her mother whenever they visit Singapore. “So a lot of the time when we’d come here on tour, my mom would take me and drive me past her old house, where she used to go to school. So I’ve been hearing about Singapore my whole life,” she continued.
Expressing her gratitude for the opportunity to perform in a place so intertwined with her family history, Taylor conveyed her appreciation to the Singaporean audience. “To get to come here and play a show this big with so many beautiful, generous people who are essentially honoring my family with what you just did with that song, it means the world,” she shared with sincerity.
“I already love you,” she added, addressing the crowd with warmth. “We’re going to have a blast tonight.”
