Taylor Swift, the most well-known trendy pop star in the world, is carrying her third concert night in Singapore, to be followed by a two-day gap, before fans assemble again for three nights at the National Stadium.
These Swifties have come from all over South-East Asia, and even further.
The moment that really touched everyone was when Taylor Swift ran down the stage and knelt before a little girl, and gave her a hug in the middle of performing the song 22 on the first concert night.
This lucky little girl got what a Swifties dreams of: a “22” hat gifted by Taylor Swift herself. This has become a concert routine for the star; she always chooses a young member of the audience and presents her with a fedora hat.
According to a report in The Straits Times, the kid who got the hug and the hat from Taylor Swift was named Giselle Heng, who goes to Yishun Primary School and has her 11th birthday coming up in June.
In an interview with ST, the young fan said, “I gave [Taylor Swift] a friendship bracelet that says 22. I told her, ‘I love you’, and she told me, ‘I love you’, too. I hugged her and a bit of her hair went into my mouth. It tasted a bit salty because of her sweat, but I don’t care at all.”
