Singaporeans are set for a great musical spring of 2024 as Taylor Swift has added three concert dates for the upcoming Singapore leg of ‘The Eras Tour’. The American singer had added performances on March 7, 8 and 9 in addition to her original slate on March 2, 3 and 4.

The three additional dates were added in response to the “overwhelming response” for her shows.

The 33-year-old pop star will be playing a total of six nights in the Lion City, equivalent to the number of shows British band Coldplay will be playing in the Republic in January next year as part of their Music Of The Spheres World Tour.

The band were initially scheduled to play four nights in Singapore, before two more shows were added due to overwhelming demand.

Registration for the general sales, which begin on July 7, 2023, was met with much enthusiasm.

Tickets for the new dates will go on sale at the same time as the original ones.

Priority ticket sales for UOB cardholders will begin on July 5, 2023. Swift’s fans – both here and in the region – are now in a frenzy over securing tickets for her shows in Singapore.

Ticket prices start at SGD 108, with VIP packages also available. 

Her popularity has continued to skyrocket in the years since, with her 10th and latest album Midnights flying off the shelves and racking up huge streaming numbers immediately after its release in October 2022. Photo courtesy: Twitter/@taylorswift13
