Taylor Swift has only played US shows. So Filipino Swifties made their own ‘Eras Tour’

Taylor Swift has so far only announced that she’s bringing her acclaimed Eras Tour to cities in the United States.

So mega-fans in the Philippines took it upon themselves to host their own version of the tour over the weekend, packing a mall in metro Manila for a concert that matched much of the original.

The event also served as a live petition to urge Swift to visit Manila on tour, oila, orrganizers said.

Mac Coronel, a drag performer who also goes by “Taylor Sheesh,” stood in for Swift at the show, dancing and lip syncing along to Swift’s hits for nearly an hour and a half with nine costume changes.

The show matched many of the details on Swift’s tour, down to the costumes, digital backdrops, choreography, and effects. It featured a crew of backup dancers and a confetti cannon at the end of the set.

Over 30 Swifties that are part of a fan group in the Philippines organized “The Eras Festival” as a free event at the TriNoma Activity Center in Quezon City, just outside Manila. In addition to the concert, it also included shop, booths, and merchandise that fans could purchase.

The group has hosted past fan gatherings around Manila to celebrate Swift.

No international dates have been announced for The Eras Tour, so Filipino Swifties don’t know if Swift will make it to Manila for an official show.

It’s a feeling they know all too well . Swift didn’t play a show in the Philippines on either of her last two tours, and hasn’t toured in the country since 2014, when she played a venue just outside Manila.

When she announced her current tour in November, Swift said she hoped to announce international dates “as soon as we can.”

The fans’ message to Swift after Sunday’s event: “We know that The Eras Tour has a big production, and our country’s venue availability is a bit of a challenge, but we are still hoping for your kind consideration,” organizers told Semafor.

“You can casually show up here with just you and your guitar and we will still give you a decade’s worth of energy, and make sure to make each and every second of your stay worth it.’”

• With no international tour dates announced, some non-U.S. Swifties have flown to the country to see a show. And some American Beyoncé fans are doing the opposite , since tickets to the Renaissance World Tour are generally cheaper and more available overseas.
• The Philippines is known for the “religious-like reverence” of its pop music fandoms that help define the entertainment industry there, Nylon Manila wrote. But groups of fans have also banded together to give back through social, political, and environmental causes.

Taylor Swift Manila concert set in June

AMERICAN singer/songwriter Taylor Swift will return to Manila on June 6 to mount another major concert at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

It was recently announced on the seven-time Grammy Award winner's official website that the Philippines is included in her "Red Tour" in the Southeast Asia.

Aside from the Philippines, Swift will also stage a similar event in Indonesia (June 4), Thailand (June 9), Malaysia (June 11) and Singapore (June 12).

"I can't wait to see you and I hope you guys have a great time at the show. See you there," said the singer in a video message posted on her website.

Swift, who visited the country back in February 2011, is behind big hits "You Belong with Me," "Love Story," "Our Song," "Teardrops on My Guitar," "Speak Now," "Back to December," "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," among others. (Sunnex)

Meet The Filipina Pianist In Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour

As we hope Taylor Swift brings her Eras Tour to the Philippines, there is a little Filipino connection with her pianist, Karina DePiano.

Related: Trend Alert: Taylor Swift Is Making The Whole World Shimmer

If you’re a Swiftie, or just scrolling on social media these past few days, then you would know that the biggest pop star in the world, aka Taylor Swift, just began her record-breaking  Eras Tour . Glendale, Arizona was temporarily renamed Swift City in honor of the moment, with the first two nights of the concert being held there. With over 44 songs performed and multiple outfit changes, Taylor brought out all the stops for her latest and longest concert to date.

Across three hours, Taylor went through most of her eras (justice for  Debut ) in a music spectacular unlike any other. Among the many moments that have caught fans’ attention on social media include a part where Taylor dives into the stage and seemingly swims up the stage and the inclusion of the  Bejeweled  TikTok dance in the official choreography of the song.

It then comes to no surprise that international Swifties have been begging Taylor to reveal the dates for the international leg of the tour. And no more is this chant louder than in the Philippines. When Filipino fans organize an event just to convince Taylor to bring the tour to the Philippines, you know it’s serious. But while we wait for Team Taylor to announce international dates (hopefully with the Philippines included), that doesn’t mean blondie has completely forgotten about Filipinos. The  Eras Tour  has a bit of Pinoy representation in one of its band members being a Filipina, and her name is Karina DePiano.

SHE PLAYS THE PIANO

Karina DePiano, an appropriate last name for someone who plays the piano for a living, is a professional pianist, music director, and producer. Born and raised in San Diego, California, Karina has an Italian father and a Filipina mother. And while she did grow up in a mixed family, her Filipino roots were always there. In an interview , she shared that her Filipino side of the family lived in Los Angeles, and thus, she was able to see them often. Her mom spoke to her in Tagalog, which is why she understands it quite well. Classic Filipino food like adobo, sinigang, menudo, chicken afritada, lumpia, pancit, and more were also on the menu at the DePiano household.

“I feel extremely connected to my Filipino heritage. Living in Los Angeles provides me with such a rich connection to Filipino culture because of the big Filipino population here. I also feel so lucky that my immediate family lives here—I’ve grown up being able to hear their personal stories, learn more about my culture, and most importantly devour my Lola’s cooking,” she explained.

Karina learned to play the piano when she was six and graduated from the University of Southern California’ Thornton School of Music’s Popular Music Program with an emphasis on keyboard performance. While she was initially set to train in classical piano, she pivoted to pop music, a wise decision given her extensive career.

PIANIST TO THE STARS

Over the years, Karina has assembled a hefty resume, working with some of the biggest pop stars in the world. It’s a list that includes Troye Sivan, Miley Cyrus, Fifth Harmony, Rita Ora, Daya, Julia Michaels, Kesha, and Alessia Cara. She performed at the  American Music Awards  with Olivia Rodrigo and was the keyboardist for NIKI’s  Nicole  world tour in 2022. (If you went to Head In The Clouds In Manila, then you would have seen her with NIKI during her day two closing set.) Her TV show appearances include  Saturday Night Live, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, The Today Show , and more.

Now, Karina has the honor of joining a new family on the  Eras Tour  as the pianist and being part of what is sure to be one of the biggest tours in music history. By the way, this actually isn’t the first time Karina has worked with Taylor. In 2021, she appeared in Swift’s  I Bet You Think About Me  music video where she played the keyboard with the band in the end. This was probably one of Taylor’s complex easter eggs to tease that she was joining the tour. Now that Taylor Swift has that Filipina band member, all she needs to do now is announce those Philippine tour dates.

Stream Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour from the Philippines

Swifties in the Philippines, the wait is over! Taylor Swift’s sensational ‘The Eras Tour’ film, which has captivated audiences worldwide, is now accessible for streaming. Celebrating her illustrious 17-year career, the film brings to life the magic of her record-breaking tour. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or new to the Swiftie community, this article guides you on how to enjoy the concert film from the comfort of your home.

The Eras Tour film, initially released in theaters, is now available for digital rental. It features an extended version, including fan favorites like “Wildest Dreams,” “The Archer,” and “Long Live,” which were not part of the theatrical release. The digital release marks a significant milestone for Swift, who has recently been named Time Person of the Year and has broken the Guinness World Record for the highest-grossing music tour ever.

Where to Watch: Available Platforms and Pricing  

For fans in the US, Canada, UK, and Ireland, the film is readily available on multiple streaming platforms, including Prime Video, Apple TV+, Xfinity, Vudu, Google Play, YouTubeTV, and SkyTV Premiere. The rental price is set at $19.89 or approximately P1,116.53, with a 48-hour viewing window.

Streaming Solutions for Filipino Fans  

But how can Filipino fans join in on the celebration? Although direct access to the film is not yet available in the Philippines, there’s a workaround using a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN allows you to change your digital location to a country where the film is available, such as the US. Once you’ve subscribed to a VPN service, simply log into your chosen streaming app, and you’ll be ready to watch.

Enhanced Viewing with Prime Video  

Prime Video users can enjoy an added feature with the X-Ray content, which provides insights into each song as it unfolds in the film. This platform also allows you to connect to Amazon Music for an even more immersive experience, letting you listen to additional tracks from the tour.

Taylor’s Birthday Surprise and the Tour’s Legacy  

Taylor Swift announced the availability of the concert film on her birthday, December 13, as a gift to her fans. The Eras Tour, described by Taylor as a journey through her musical eras, kicked off in March and concluded in August, leaving fans clamoring for more. The digital release of the film ensures that Swifties everywhere can relive the excitement of the live performances.

Anticipation for a Local Streaming Service  

As Taylor’s camp has not yet announced a specific streaming platform for the Philippines, fans are eagerly awaiting updates. Past Taylor Swift projects have been released on Netflix and Disney+, which could be potential homes for the Eras Tour film. In the meantime, using a VPN remains the best option for Filipino fans to stream the movie.

In conclusion, while Filipino Swifties may need to take an extra step to stream ‘The Eras Tour’ film, the effort is well worth it. With the digital rental now available, fans can experience the enchantment of Taylor Swift’s music and performances, ensuring that the Eras Tour lives on in the hearts of her global audience.

MANILA, Philippines – When Taylor Swift promised in 2011 that she would be back in Manila soon enough for yet another concert, fans held on to that promise and waited.

The release of her RED album followed by a tour that paved the way to the  announcement of her return to Manila early this year resulted to much excitement followed by a sold-out show. (READ:

Taylor Swift will return to the stage in London on Thursday to end the European leg of her Eras tour, a week after her Vienna concerts were canceled due to a suicide attack plot.

Around 90,000 fans will again pack London’s Wembley Stadium for the first date in the five-day run, with additional ticket checks and restrictions in place.

Last week, all three of the American megastar’s shows in the Austrian capital were canceled following the discovery of an Islamic State-inspired plan to launch an attack using explosives and knives.

Three alleged Islamic State sympathizers have been arrested on charges of plotting the atrocity, which was thwarted with the help of US intelligence.

London’s Metropolitan Police has said there was “nothing to indicate that the matters being investigated by the Austrian authorities will have an impact on upcoming events here in London”.

The force was working “closely with venue security teams and other partners to ensure there are appropriate security and policing plans in place”, a police spokesperson said in a statement.

Fans have been warned on Wembley’s website to expect “additional ticket checks” around the stadium.

Swift’s return to the British capital, following three sold-out shows in June, also comes two weeks after three young girls were killed in a stabbing at a dance class themed around the pop star’s music in northwest England.

Following the knife attack, Swift said she was “completely in shock” and at a “complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families”.

She has not yet commented on the decision to cancel the Vienna shows.

London’s mayor Sadiq Khan told Sky News that the city was “going to carry on working closely with police, ensuring that the Taylor Swift concerts can take place in London safely”.

“We have a huge amount of experience in policing these events, we’re never complacent, many lessons were learned after the awful Manchester Arena attack,” Khan added.

He was referring to the 2017 bombing at an Ariana Grande concert that killed 22 people, some of them children.

Fans without tickets will also not be allowed to “tay-gate” the event – the practice of Swift fans standing outside the venue during the live show to hear the music.

The stadium’s website says that “no one is allowed to stand outside any entrance or… at the front of the stadium” and “non-ticket holders will be moved on”.

While the practice was not permitted at her June concerts there, some fans still managed to gather outside Wembley.

After two performances in Madrid at the end of July, Swift noted around 50,000 “people came out and listened to the show” from a nearby hillside on both nights, “participating in the show from afar”. AFP
