The weather in Singapore suddenly rained heavily for about 10 minutes. Many people got wet because they did not bring an umbrella. However, after the rain, the air is very cool. |

The crowd filled the empty space inside the stadium, shouting “Singapore” every time Swift wanted them to respond. It is expected that Swift’s next 5 concerts will also be crowded with audiences, mainly from Southeast Asian countries. |

Outside, those who couldn’t buy tickets (or mistakenly bought fake tickets) spread silver sheets and enthusiastically responded to the music. This image is familiar in music shows. At the previous Australian leg, many Swift fans stood outside the stadium but kept singing along with their idol. |
