26-10-2023 (SINGAPORE) Sam Smith, the British pop sensation, recently made headlines while strolling down Orchard Road in a decidedly local ensemble, truly embracing the “When in Rome, do as the Romans do” adage.
In a video shared by TikTok user Skyler26remy on October 25, the 31-year-old artist is seen sporting a black singlet and black shorts, a stark contrast to their usual concert attire, which often includes elaborate corsets, studded cowboy hats, and oversized fur jackets. They completed the look with white sneakers paired with vibrant lime green socks. The casual stroll took place outside Tang Plaza.
Commenters on the video praised Sam for effortlessly blending in with Singapore’s “lepak style,” and many noted that their choice of clothing was “on point.”
What truly surprised some viewers was how Sam Smith could wander the streets of Singapore without being mobbed by adoring fans. One netizen incredulously wrote, “Bro just randomly jalan at Orchard ah?” It appeared that Singaporeans either “don’t care about famous people” or are more familiar with South Korean celebrities, as suggested by a few commenters.
Another netizen who had a chance encounter with Sam shared their experience: “I saw them around that time too near Takashimaya (Ngee Ann City), and no one was seen asking for pics though.” Skyler26remy, the original video uploader, responded by saying, “I didn’t ask too because I don’t want to [interrupt] them freely walking around Orchard. I just said hi, and they replied with a hello and flying kiss.”
Sam Smith was in Singapore for Gloria The Tour on October 24, marking their first visit to the city since their two-night concert in 2018. They are now gearing up for the Australia and New Zealand leg of their tour, which commences on October 28.
