Earlier that night, Swift delighted the Singapore audience with a unique double mash-up, blending “Mine” with “Starlight” and then “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” with “Dress.”

During the acoustic set on Saturday, March 2, Swift shared, “This has become my favorite part of the show because it’s become very chaotic and it’s become a challenge for me to think of new things to do for every single city. And hope that I’m doing something that you guys might like. It’s been a blast!”

After Swift finishes her March shows in Singapore, she will drop her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, on April 19. The Eras Tour will pick back up on May 9 in Paris and travel through Europe and the UK until August 20.
