Ace the March Holidays with these activities in Singapore
Of course, all anybody is talking about right now is Taylor Swift and her 6-night concert run here in Singapore. But, there’s more than just Tay Tay this month, as we can also look forward to the March School Holidays, and the activities that you can bring the kids to over their break.
Here’s a look at what else to get up to this March 2024.
Taylor Swift Eras Tour
Tay Tay ain’t just for certified Swifties, as her Eras Tour is turning into a bonafide cultural event. Your social media timeline is going to be packed with concert footage, and who knows what we’ll even be like when Taylor Swift’s massive 6-night residency ends on 9 March.
