With the announcement of new dates, Taylor is now scheduled to perform on March 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9 in 2024 for her only stop in Southeast Asia.
Aside from Singapore, Taylor will also stage four shows at the Tokyo Dome in Japan on February 7, 8, 9, and 10.
Based on her schedule, Taylor will bring her Eras concert to various parts of the world until August 2024.
“The Eras Tour,” which kicked off in March, is a tribute to all of the Grammy-award-winning performer’s albums, including her most recent, “Midnights,” and those which lacked their own tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as “Lover,” “Folklore,” and “Evermore.”
