SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): In the past week, videos of men popping the question to their girlfriends during the 2008 song Love Story at the Taylor Swift concerts in Singapore from March 2 to 9 made the rounds on social media.

One in particular stood out: Vietnamese Swifties Minh Anh Le and Uyen To Phuong Nguyen, who proposed to each other during the March 4 gig, the third of the American pop star’s six Eras Tour shows at the National Stadium.

In a video that went viral on TikTok, he was seen kneeling and holding up a ring in front of her during a different Swift track, Champagne Problems (2020). She got down on her knees too and whipped out a ring for him. He then slipped his ring onto her finger.

While the scene appeared spontaneous, the tourists told The Straits Times they had been planning the proposal ever since they found out in June 2023 that Swift would be performing in Singapore, her only stop in South-East Asia.

When Mr Le asked Ms Nguyen if she was fine with him proposing to her at the concert, the latter decided to do a counter-proposal for the sake of “equality”.

The pair, both 26, have been together for eight years. They declined to reveal their occupations.
