For ∣s⟩=(∣01⟩−∣10⟩)/2​ and any two-by-two unitary matrix, expand the two columns of U. The equal-index coefficients cancel, and the coefficient of ∣01⟩−∣10⟩ is the determinant. Its modulus is one, so a common change of qubit basis preserves the spin singlet state up to a global phase. The density projector is exactly invariant.
