Visiting the rainforest at Changi, having a late night snack at Geylang food street or cycling to explore nature are experiences you should try when coming to Singapore to "follow" Taylor Swift.
The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) suggests Vietnamese tourists about their eating and playing schedule when they come to see Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour in early March.
Experiences before G-hour to watch the show
Visiting the rainforest in Jewel Changi Airport: 13 years ago Taylor Swift visited Changi Airport and was impressed to see a forest right in the middle of the arrival hall of Terminal 3. Now, the center Jewel Changi has a much more impressive rainforest and is a destination that visitors should experience.

BeJeweled Concert at Jewel Changi Airport. The event took place on March 1 at Jewel's Shiseido Jungle Valley. It was organized by Changi Airport for Taylor Swift fans. Visitors could come and sing along to the singer's hit songs such as "Love Story", "You Belong with Me", "Blank Space" and "Bejeweled".
Buy souvenirs : Blindgoldrush souvenir shop at 30 Haji Lane sells keychains, wallets, and items inspired by Taylor Swift's songs. The shop has a photo area with backgrounds based on the singer's famous studio albums such as Speak Now or Lover. Opening hours: 12pm-8pm or 10pm (depending on the day of the week). Product prices range from SGD 8-30 (VND 150,000 - VND 550,000). Taking photos costs SGD 10 (VND 185,000) for 10 minutes.
Make Your Own "Friendship Bracelet": The friendship bracelet trend has been around for a long time, but Taylor Swift and The Eras Tour have turned it into a phenomenon.
The lyrics "So, make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it" from the song "You are your Own, Kid" inspired this trend to explode globally. When the album was released, many fans took note of the lyrics and made colorful beaded bracelets to give to their friends who attended the concert. At the concerts, you will often see the image of the female singer's fans with both arms covered in colorful bracelets.
Visitors can visit Beads&Craft at People's Park Centre - 1 Upper Cross Street or Shinobeads, 101 Upper Cross Street to buy DIY bracelets.
Late night snack after partying hard
When the show ends, visitors can fill their hungry stomachs in the Geylang neighbourhood instead of grabbing a bite from the food on sale at the national stadium.
Geylang is about 7-10 minutes by taxi from the stadium, known as the "late night food capital" with many restaurants open until dawn. No Signboard Seafood Geylang, Lor 9 Beef Kway Teow are restaurants recommended by STB. Visitors can enjoy chilli crab, stir-fried vegetables with oyster sauce, stir-fried beef noodles with prices starting from 10 SGD.

Alternatively, visitors can visit hidden bars like Mama Diam, which recreates the space of mama shops, family-run department stores popular in Singapore during the 1980s and 2000s. Lou Shang is located in the same building as Mama Diam but on the upper floor. The design of Lou Shang's space is inspired by old apartment buildings built decades ago. During the day, Lou Shang is a cafe, but will "transform" into a bar after 5pm.
