We knew it was going to happen, Taylor Nation.

But somewhere along the line, the RED Tour got bigger. And longer. And we wish it would go on forever, or at least long enough to reach other countries. Other continents that she’s never visited (COUGH SOUTH AMERICA COUGH). All good things come to an end. And they did. The RED Tour had its last concert in Singapore, on June 12, 2014. It did go around the globe, not everywhere, not every country, not every continent. But at least it spanned most timezones.

The last secret song of the tour was from Speak Now. A very overlooked album if you ask me. This song remains the goodbye anthem that brings a tear and a smile to my face every time. I love this song on its original version and its acoustic version. Although never officially confirmed, this is a song that is believed to have been based on the moment when The Agency was brought up to the stage when Taylor received the CMA Award for Entertainer of the Year back in 2009 (“a band of thieves in ripped up jeans got to rule the world”). Its meaning was expanded to include her entire team – and us fans.

Time to save up, Taylor Nation. We’re probably going to see each other again on the next tour! But first… bring that 5th album.

Coming up on the Calendar!

  • RED Tour Concert withdrawals where we re-watch concert footage on YouTube over and over.
  • Swifties wait for the 5th album with baited breath. Not that we’re impatient or anything. Nope. Not a bit. Is it out yet? No? How about now?
  • The official word for the 5th album is probably going to be “soon”. They should stop using that word. I don’t think it means what they think it means.

This night is sparkling, Taylor Nation.

Here at the Swift Agency, just one guy that can feel the tour withdrawals coming already, we’re happy for the fans at the Putra Indoor Stadium. It is the first time that the Blonde With The Sparkly Guitar visits Malaysia. The RED Tour concert was a night to remember on June 11 in Kuala Lumpur. According to The Star Online, “Swift cemented her position as a music-industry sweetheart when she peppered the show with light banter with fans, some of whom camped hours before in the daytime outside the indoor arena amid sweltering heat.”

The secret song was “Enchanted”. Updated! Here’s a clip 😀

We’re one concert away from the end of the RED Tour. After that, we go into the long wait until the Princess in Red unveils the much expected fifth album. How will we survive? But it’s not over yet until the Queen of Sparks sings. Up next, last concert in Singapore!

Coming up on the Calendar!

  • June 12: The RED Tour in Singapore at Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Don’t know why I do, Taylor Nation.

Here at the Swift Agency, just one guy who’s glad for the nostalgia as of late, we’ve been enjoying how the Sparkly Dressed has been picking classics from the beginning of her career for her secret song.

Last night on June 9, because timezones are a tricky thing, she was playing the Singapore Indoor Stadium to the delight of a sold-out crowd. It was the turn of “Teardrops On My Guitar”, an old classic that brings us back… all the way to the start of it all.

RED Tour Manila: I don’t know how it gets better than this

Ever dance in the middle of the parking lot, Taylor Nation?

But last night on June 6 in Manila, Philippines the Forever and Always Fearless One once again took out the song about dancing in a storm in her best dress for a spin on the B Stage. I love “Fearless”, with its mellow tones hiding a bit of a subdued power ballad. Here at the Swift Agency, just a guy who can’t help but find a tear in his eye after hearing a Taylor classic, we want to congratulate the Swifties of Manila that showed up at Mall of Asia for the RED Tour concert of their lives.

Here’s the Sparkly Dressed talking to the crowd in Tagalog:

Here’s the secret song from the B Stage, “Fearless”, including Taylor having to add a capo because the guitar wasn’t tuned as high as needed (don’t blame the guitar techs, Tay does NOT tell anybody which song she’s singing as the secret song).

To all the Country Music fans attending CMA Fest week in Nashville, TN I hope you’re having a ball. I understand there’s a Taylor Swift booth with her guitar, her dresses and one of her iconic CMA Awards. Go get a selfie, we won’t judge. As for the Princess in Red, she’s expected in Singapore next!

If you want to hear a full account of how the concert in Manila was, I can recommend The Sassy Girl’s Tumblr post. It’s a full photo album and chronicle of Katrina’s Red Tour concert. Worth a read 🙂

RED Tour Jakarta: The Queen of Sparks rocks Indonesia

Apa kabar, Taylor Nation.

I know the CMT Awards are going on right now, but the Blonde With The Sparkly Guitar just rocked Jakarta, Indonesia. Here at the Swift Agency, just a guy who’s used to multitasking, we’re a bit sad that we’re not seeing Taylor this year but mighty glad she rocked everyone’s faces at the MEIS (Mata Elang International Stadium).

The secret song on the B Stage was “Fifteen”. Here’s a clip:
