3-3-2024 (MANILA) As Taylor Swift takes the stage for her highly anticipated Southeast Asian stop in Singapore, the regional airline Philippines Airlines (PAL) is seizing the opportunity to connect with the fervent fanbase known as Swifties. Despite Singapore being the sole Southeast Asian destination on Swift’s tour, PAL has found a way to leave a lasting impression on fans flying in from the Philippines.
In a thoughtful gesture, PAL decided to mark the special occasion by distributing commemorative friendship bracelets to passengers making the journey to Singapore to attend one of Taylor Swift’s six concerts. This unique touch resonates with the prevailing theme of Swift’s Eras Tour, where fans enthusiastically engage in crafting their own friendship bracelets, fostering a sense of camaraderie and breathing new life into local craft shops.
On March 1, passengers on PAL flights from the Philippines to Singapore were pleasantly surprised with complimentary friendship bracelets. An Instagram post by the airline showcased a hand adorned with six bracelets bearing the messages “Fly PAL” or featuring the titles of Taylor Swift’s albums and songs, including “1989” and “Lover.”
A TikTok video captured the vibrant atmosphere on board the PAL flight, with flight attendants gracefully moving down the aisles, serving trays laden with these specially crafted bracelets. User Pat_UGC, in the video, expressed how this thoughtful gesture added an extra layer of memorability to the flight. Describing the collective presence of Swifties on board, Pat_UGC aptly termed it a “vibe.”
Many Filipinos have flocked to Singapore to catch Taylor Swift’s concerts, some even making prior visits to the city-state to secure coveted tickets for the event.
