The Filipino drag queen is comforting heartbroken Filipino Swifties with her spot-on impersonations of Taylor Swift, which are drawing more and more crowds.
When Taylor Swift announced the Asian leg of her "The Eras Tour," fans in the Philippines were disappointed to see that their country was not included. However, a local drag queen named Taylor Sheesh has stepped up to fill the void, providing comfort to heartbroken Filipino Swifties with her spot-on impersonations of the pop star. It all began at a shopping mall, but after going viral on social media, her performances have now evolved into bigger venues.
