From Singapore to the UK, prominent Filipino drag queens capture the spotlight worldwide!
When our homegrown queens take the stage, even globally acclaimed names can’t hold a candle to them. Remember how the Divine Divas, Eva Le Queen, Arizona Brandy, and Marina Summers dominated last month’s DragCon UK with spellbinding performances?
Filipino drag entertainers have a deep-seated magic anchored in their souls, polished by struggles and driven by ambition. Beyond their innate talent, the hunger to take up space in a world that’s just starting to appreciate their art is a burning passion that lights their way.
Let’s jet-set across the world and see where our favorite queens are heading.
Australia

When she appeared on Aussie TV, viral sensation Taylor Sheesh made it to the news again. The magnetic allure of Taylor Sheesh entranced Australian Swifties who failed to score tickets to the Melbourne shows. She performed her recreation of The Eras Tour in front of thousands of people at the Federation Square. The beauty of drag truly is extraordinary. Taylor Sheesh has demonstrated its magical nature by bestowing happiness and countless more positive impact to her audience wherever she goes. Her tribute show in Melbourne occurred just a kilometer from where Taylor Swift’s concert was happening.

Most famously known as a Lady Gaga super impersonator, Lady Gagita’s talent for makeup transformation has also allowed her to take on other personas. She is set to debut her Taylor Shet: The Erase Tour in Singapore on March 9, which falls on the same date as Taylor Swift’s last show in the city. “We think that the world needs to see how accurate our show is with the real The Eras Tour,” Lady Gagita stated. Celebrate the Taylor Swift frenzy with a brunch party at Beast & Butterflies at Social M Hotel. The next stops of The Erase Tour will be in Hong Kong and Thailand.
Once the Eras Tour’s dust has settled in Singapore, Taylor Sheesh will be ready to bring it back alive with her The Errors Tour. This tour will start at the Hard Rock Cafe on March 16 and 17.
