  • Singapore sparked anger after reports surfaced about the city state allegedly paying US$3 million per concert to ensure Tay Tay would not perform elsewhere in Southeast Asia

  • But did you know the singer actually has Singaporean roots? Her mother Andrea attended Singapore American School in the 60s, and her grandmother, for whom the song ‘Marjorie’ is named, performed there
 
During the first of her six dates on March 2, Swift told the crowd that her grandfather, Robert Finlay, worked for an engineering company and briefly moved his family to Singapore for his job.

Andrea Swift, née Finlay, known to fans lovingly as Mama Swift, attended the Singapore American School between 1968 and 1969, per The Star.

After Swift’s revelation about her connection to Singapore, fans soon uncovered that the “All Too Well” singer’s maternal grandmother Marjorie Finlay, an opera singer, had actually performed as the lead in the production The Bartered Bride in Singapore in 1968, according to an old Straits Times article.
