While Swifties were spotted queueing outside SingPost outlets from as early as Wednesday (5 July), there were some outlets there were ‘spared’ the snaking lines.
As fans were prohibited from queueing overnight inside some malls, many fans crowded outside malls on Friday (7 July) before they opened.
When the malls opened, hopeful fans rushed to the SingPost outlets in hopes of being among the first few in line to secure tickets to Taylor Swift’s concerts in Singapore.
A video by a Swiftie at ION Orchard revealed how fans squeezed against the mall’s shutters while they were still closed.
As soon as the shutters started rising, Swifties at the front of the pack scrambled under them.

In their haste, some even went on their knees and crawled under the shutters.
The battle did not end there — once they entered, fans raced towards the SingPost outlet to queue, even though it hasn’t opened for the day.

A similar sight was observed at Northpoint City.
Fans were seemingly held behind a barrier, stopping them from heading up to the SingPost located on the second floor.
When the barrier was removed, fans dashed up the escalators.

According to The Straits Times, SingPost staff told fans that when they had to queue outside the building when the malls closed.

While fans’ desperation to get their hands on the concert tickets is more than understandable, we hope they still prioritise their personal safety.
All the best to Swifites trying to get their tickets today!
