Background Historical accounts believe that Taylor Swift’s early life was marked by her interest in music, which helped her advance quickly from child theater roles to a noteworthy debut in front of a large audience. When she was 11 years old, she performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” during a Philadelphia 76ers basketball game to demonstrate her vocal abilities. She picked up a guitar the following year and began creating songs, which was a huge turning point in her career. Swift met seasoned individuals in the recording industry when she signed a developmental deal with RCA Records. In 2004, she signed a songwriting contract with Sony/ATV at the age of 14. Many of her original tunes were performed during her shows at local Nashville clubs, and it was during one of these shows that record executive Scott Borchetta took notice. Swift was signed by Borchetta to his new Big Machine label after he was struck by her talent. Her first single, “Tim McGraw,” which was heavily influenced by and referenced in the song of her favorite country musician, was released in the summer of 2006 – marking the beginning of Swift’s domination in the music industry. Not to mention the number of albums spanning from Fearless to Folklore that made Taylor Swift become a significant figure in pop culture, Swift has also made all her world tours successful. During her Red Tour, the pop sensation last visited the Philippines in June 2014. With this, her fans in the Philippines looked forward to the singer visiting the country to witness another successful leg of her tour in the country. On June 21, 2023, Swift revealed additional dates for her tour worldwide. Singapore will host the tour’s sole stop in Southeast Asia on March 2–4 and March 7–9 with no Philippines on the roster.
