Nguyen Minh The (31 years old), an office worker in Thu Duc City (Ho Chi Minh City), said that Taylor Swift has been his idol since high school: “I still remember Speak Now was the first album that made me a fan of Taylor Swift. The songs about love, family, and friends gave me the energy to overcome difficulties in life.” Mr. The bought tickets on Ticketmaster Singapore in July 2023, hoping to meet his idol. Immediately after buying tickets for the concert, Mr. The and his friends planned to buy round-trip air tickets, book hotel rooms, and visit tourist attractions in Singapore because of the cheap prices. Mr. The's group also invested in uniforms and accessories for their trip to meet their idol.

The group of friends of Thế are very excited to attend Taylor Swift's concert.

“Our group has six members, all of whom were friends in high school back then. It’s not advisable to wait until the last minute to buy tickets because they get very expensive. To avoid any unforeseen problems, our group flew to Singapore two days before the event to settle in and take the opportunity to visit tourist attractions,” Thế shared.

Similarly, Ta Mai An also spent over 30 million VND to attend Taylor Swift's concert in Singapore. By the time she learned about the event, it was already close to the date, so An couldn't book tickets herself and had to rely on an intermediary agency to purchase them for her.

“I waited two weeks to buy the complete package of two VIP 4 tickets, along with a 4-star hotel stay, for 27.2 million VND. I also spent an additional 3 million VND on accessories, clothes, and manicures to match the concert's theme. For me, money can be earned back, but the opportunity to meet my idol and hear her sing doesn't come around often,” An shared.

“Taylor Swift helped me realize my dream, the best version of myself. Millions of people love you and vice versa, so live the life you want. I also learned to be honest with my own feelings, instead of worrying about what others think. Even though it's a costly investment, I'm still determined to meet my idol,” Hue said.
