Taylor’s mom grew up in Singapore in the 1960s

Taylor Swift has given fans an insight into her dynamic with mom Andrea, revealing during her Eras Tour that “it means the world” to the pair to be back in Singapore, as it is where Andrea spent a lot of her childhood.

The 34-year-old shared: “My mom actually spent a lot of her childhood with her mom and dad and sister growing up in 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.”

Speaking during the Evermore segment, while sitting at the ‘Champagne Problems’ piano and after singing ‘Marjorie,’ a song about her grandmother, Taylor continued: “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.”

“I already love you, we’re going to have a blast tonight,” she concluded.

Taylor was speaking to the crowds on night one off six shows at the National Stadium in Singapore on Saturday March 2, 2024, Singapore time. They are her only Southeast Asia dates, and she will take a two-month break following night six before resuming the tour in Paris, France in May.

Continuing her 2024 trend, the surprise song segment was full of mash-ups as she sang ‘Mine’ from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) with ‘Starlight’ from Red (Taylor’s Version) on the guitar and then blended ‘I Don’t Wanna Live Forever from the Fifty Shades Darker movie soundtrack and ‘Dress’ from Reputation on the piano.
