SINGAPORE – A Singaporean couple’s Taylor Swift-themed wedding has caught the attention of international media, landing them a feature in US entertainment magazine People online on July 6.

Danielle Ng, 30, and Jit Hong Tan, 33, held their Eras Tour-inspired celebration at Parkroyal on Beach Road on June 13. They are both fans of the American singer, known as Swifties. Ng has been a fan since 2008 and Tan got into Swift’s music after the couple met at university in 2015.

According to Ng, People magazine contacted the couple on June 22 after an Instagram reel by bridesmaid Chenlyn Tshua went viral. Ng also posted videos from the wedding on TikTok.

“We were very surprised to be contacted by People and touched that they wanted to feature our wedding,” Ng, who works in the renewables industry, told the Straits Times in an e-mail interview.

The publication of the article coincided with Swift’s own recent nuptials. The 36-year-old pop star married National Football League player Travis Kelce, 36, on July 3. “Having it come out just the week after Taylor got married was a bonus,” Ng said.

The couple originally selected the June 13 date based on a fan prediction that Swift and Kelce would marry that day. The date fell within the football off-season and 13 is Swift’s lucky number. While the theory proved false, Ng said: “We certainly wouldn’t have objected to sharing the same wedding date as Taylor.”

Tan, a civil servant, noted another parallel to the American singer. Speaking to People magazine about their engagement, he joked: “I proposed before Travis did, by the way.” Tan popped the question in March 2025, while Kelce proposed in August the same year.

Ng and Tan went to significant lengths to recreate Swift’s global tour. During the singer’s six-night Singapore stop in March 2024, Ng attended three concerts and listened from outside the National Stadium for the remaining three. Tan attended one concert, sat outside for two and watched live streams for the rest.
