Taylor Swift lands in Singapore ahead of first concert on March 2, convoy arrives at Capella
SINGAPORE – There was an air of anticipation at Seletar Airport on Feb 27 as security officers set up barriers and Swifties awaited the arrival of Taylor Swift. Her chartered flight touched down at 5.05pm, and the superstar got off Flight VJT993 – a Bombardier Global Express jet.
The 34-year-old pop singer, who had concluded the Australian leg of her The Eras Tour at Sydney’s Accor Stadium on Feb 26, is on a mission to make more magic at her next stop – Singapore.
According to flight-tracking website Flightaware, she set off from Sydney at 11.58am local time (8.58am Singapore time), with the flight taking about eight hours.
While not many fans turned up at the airport, Flightradar24, a separate flight-tracking website, showed that Swift’s was the most tracked plane as at 5pm, with more than 6,000 people following its flight path.
Among those who turned up at Seletar Airport hoping to get a glimpse of her was 24-year-old undergraduate Tricia Chan, who was accompanied by her mother, 58-year-old housewife Sophia Chan.
The former said: “The fact that I am here at the airport is crazy. I have never done this before.
But I have been a fan since her debut album, and I am really looking forward to attending the concert on March 9.”
Upon landing, Swift and her entourage boarded black Toyota Alphards. There was speculation she would be staying at Marina Bay Sands, the official presenting partner for her tour here.
When The Straits Times tailed the convoy, it seemed that they were heading there. Then, they bypassed the hotel and headed for Sentosa, stopping at luxury resort hotel Capella at about 6.20pm.
