Pinoy ‘Swiftie’ gets gift, shares bejeweled moment with Taylor Swift on Eras Tour
Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 15) — Filipino "Swiftie" Mikael Arellano was enchanted after sharing a historic moment — and even getting a special gift from his idol Taylor Swift during one of the stops for her "Eras Tour."
Arellano created the dance for her song "Bejeweled" shortly after its release in 2022. The move — fun catwalk then jazz hands — for the pre-chorus quickly went viral on TikTok and even reached Swift. She dances it in all her performances for the song during her tour.
In the Pennsylvania stop over the weekend, Arellano was escorted close to the stage during Swift's performance of "22."
In the middle of the song, the singer-songwriter danced Arellano's moves, handed him the hat she was wearing, and even briefly held his hand.
He gushed and enjoyed the moment with his fellow Swifties.
