Before the mega pop star arrives in Singapore for her highly anticipated Eras Tour, we took the liberty of curating a list of places she should visit while in town

The long wait is almost over as Taylor Swift is about to land on our shores for her highly anticipated Eras Tour.

After performing a three-hour concert, what’s better than a lavish meal to recharge your body and spirit? While Swifties are creating their own lists of where they think the Bad Blood singer will be dining for the next two weeks, we at Tatler Singapore have done our research too. After all, our city is fortunate enough to be the singer’s only stop in Southeast Asia.

From hearty Italian trattorias and decadent seafood to gin bars, here are some of the best dining spots we think the superstar should check out when visiting the island.

1. Pietrasanta The Italian Restaurant

When Swift and fellow singer Sabrina Carpenter dined at the humble Italian trattoria Pellegrino 2000 in Sydney while on her Eras Tour earlier this month, it attracted the eyes of both locals and her fans. This isn’t the first time Swift has been spotted dining at an Italian restaurant, in fact, she was seen leaving popular Tuscan restaurant Via Carota in New York City with actress Sophie Turner in 2023.

If Swift enjoys Italian fare as much as her fans enjoy listening to her songs on repeat, she may opt for a meal at Pietrasanta The Italian Restaurant. The trattoria puts the spotlight on Tuscany fare and features handmade focaccia, hand-shaped pizza and handcrafted pasta.

2. Atlas Bar

Following the duo’s meal at Via Carota, they were then spotted at Temple Bar, a dark and moody martini bar perfect for a cocktail or two. For a classic martini in Singapore, Swift can head to Atlas Bar for its signature Atlas martini, a refreshing blend of London dry gin, Ambrato vermouth, orange bitters and champagne vinegar. Or perhaps, opt to unwind with a vintage martini featuring gin from a decade of her choice—fitting after playing a concert paying homage to the “musical eras” throughout Swift’s discography.

In December 2023, Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce were spotted having a meal at Nobu in New York City. Earlier this year, she was also seen leaving the cult favourite Japanese establishment with model Cara Delevingne and soccer player Brittany Mahomes. While this glitzy Japanese restaurant has a chain in Singapore, Swift may also consider savouring Nikkei cuisine in one of our many homegrown establishments like Flnt. The Nikkei-influenced simuyaki bar and grill beautifully marries Peruvian ingredients with traditional Japanese culinary techniques. What’s more, the restaurant is located at Ion Sky, offering stunning views of the city 55 floors up.

It’s no secret that Swift is a fan of seafood—she has been seen savouring fresh seafood around New York City, including seafood-centred Italian restaurant Casino in September 2023 and Paros Tribeca in December 2023. The latter is a Greek restaurant focusing on fresh seafood. For Greek fare in Singapore, Swift can head to Bakalaki Greek Taverna for hearty Mediterranean fare. It offers a wide range of seafood dishes here, including grilled octopus, sea bream and jumbo prawns.

5. Red Eye Smokehouse

On top of celebrating her 34th birthday at American restaurant Freemans in 2023, the All Too Well singer was also seen stepping out of the Manhattan restaurant with musician Gracie Abrams in November of the same year. For a taste of home, Swift could pay a visit to Red Eye Smokehouse, an American-style barbecue joint with a decadent menu complete with beef short ribs, pork belly, brisket and more. Its meats come glazed in smoky sauces and rubs for a truly indulgent meal.
