MRT from airport to orchard road

My boyfriend and I are travelling to Singapore in march. This is my first holiday without my dad (who organises and thinks or everything).

We are staying on orchard road and are wondering if the mrt goes from the airport to there.
I've been to Singapore before with my family but always got taxis.
I've heard Singapore is expensive for taxis so was seeking the alternative of the train.
Also if anyone can tell me locations of Victoria's Secret stores that would be great ad the distance from orchard road.  (We don't have them on the Gold Coast :( ).......

...A taxi would cost around SGD22 and take 20-25min. MRT to Orchard/ Somerset or Dhoby Ghaut station for Orchard Road would take around 50 min and involve a change of trains at Tanah Merah and a change of lines from the Green east west line to the Red North Sount line at City Hall station and cost around SGD2 a person.  MRT is a pain with large suitcases....



...all transport options to/ from airport are mentioned here:

...You will have to change trains at at least one busy major interchange - that particular run is a royal pain with luggage and you have to get those cases out of the MRT system itself and to the hotel - depending on how close the hotel is to either Somerset or Orchard MRT this can range from easy to awkward - for example shallow as it is Id hate to lug cases from the MRT up the hill to the York or Elizabeth.
Yes it will save money - the cost will be 2SGD per person rather than 20SGD per taxi. But compared to the cost of flying in in the first place that taxi ride is pretty cheap. Taxis are considerably faster and more pleasant as well.
An alternative if you are travelling solo is the shuttle bus - you go to the ground transport desk on arrival you can get a place on one of those - its 9SGD per adult and you get onto a shuttle that goes to the hotels - you will have to wait until a full bus is ready (not usually an issue after a big plane lands), and it may stop at more than one hotel but its midrange on both price and time....
