An unforgettable experience.

As the dust settles after Taylor Swift's last Eras Tour show in Singapore, some concertgoers who flew in from overseas have gone online to share their thoughts about Singapore.
One TikTok user, Erika Arana, praised Singapore's transport system and crowd control.
She noted that this trip was "an eye opener to what the Philippines is missing out" and what "Filipino commuters could have if only our transport and government system is as efficient".
Swift played six sold-out shows to about 300,000 fans in Singapore between Mar. 2 and 9.
Singapore was the only stop in Southeast Asia for Swift's Eras Tour.
First world country
This was Arana's first time travelling out of her country, the Philippines.
She pointed out Singapore's efficient transport system and how crowds were managed, and questioned if the Philippines could "accommodate and guarantee the safety of hundreds of thousands of people who travelled from around the world" if it hosted the Eras Tour.
Amazed at Singapore's transport system
In the comment section of Arana's TikTok video, other TikTok users also praised Singapore's public transport system.

Crowd control
Many were amazed at how quickly they were able to leave the concert.
Another aspect that garnered praise from Arana was the crowd control at the Singapore National Stadium.
And she is not alone.
Several other TikTok users also put up videos highlighting the "fantastic" crowd control at Stadium MRT station.
They noted that were features such as a stage with an emcee who entertained guests as they waited outside the station so that it would not be overcrowded.
Swift's songs were also being played, and fans sang along as they waited to enter the station.
Another user highlighted her amazement at how quickly she was able to return to her hotel after the concert ended and the high frequency of the MRT trains.

[Firstly, appreciate that visitors appreciate Singapore's efficiency.
Secondly, kudos to the people working that day to give the Swifties, the unforgettable experience. You are the unsung heroes.
Thirdly, kudos also to the organisers - providing DJs to play Taylor Swift songs while they wait, providing water coolers in the auditorium for FREE. US visitor was shocked! in the US, they would be selling water at $2 a bottle to profit even more from the captive audience.
All in, proving that Singapore deserves to be the only stop in SE Asia of the Eras Tour.]
