Taylor Swift is already in town, and Singapore has shown that we are Ready For It.
From making friendship bracelets to listening to her setlist on repeat, Taylor Swift fans have been busying themselves with concert preparation for weeks or even months.
Now that we are only one (yes, one!) day away from the start of the American pop-star’s shows in Singapore, there are a ton of places you can go for the Taylor Swift vibes before you head over to National Stadium.
Grab your passport (if you’re coming from overseas) and a swiftie’s hand, and head down to these places to be Enchanted by the things to see and do.
Photobooths
In recent years, photobooths have become extremely popular among youths all around the world. And it’s not just popular among couples, many friends go to photobooths too.
During the Coldplay concert in January this year, Solace Studios had Coldplay-themed frames for those who wanted to commemorate the special occasion.
Good news for Taylor Swift fans and photobooth addicts – Solace Studios will be doing something similar for The Eras Tour!
Solace Studios has frames for nine out of 10 of the superstar’s albums and you’ll get to choose which Era you want – from the pretty pastels of Lover to the baddie vibes of Reputation.
Dress up in your Gorgeous Eras outfit and head over to these photobooths to take lots of cute pictures, then bring these photo strips home to keep!
On top of Solace Studios, Dollop will also have photo frames inspired by Taylor Swift’s different Eras.
If photo strips aren’t really your thing, you can head over to Pixie Loft to take an infinite amount of selfies at their Taylor-Swift-Themed booths. They have booths themed after The Eras Tour, and the Reputation and Red Eras.
Each session is limited to an hour for you to take as many selfies as you like. You can also print out one photo strip per person.
