“It’s cool to say the Philippines is the first place I got to go to outside of America and Canada. I always wanted to come here since years ago. I had a lot of Filipino fans and it was awesome because they have such a big online presence. Filipino fans are the real deal. They hit me up all the time to ask, ‘Why aren’t you here yet?’

"I get a lot of retweets and a lot of favorites but the first time I posted that I was coming to the Philippines, I really don’t even know what happened to my social media, it was up like thousands and thousands and thousands of people liking it, favoriting and retweeting.

"It was overwhelming and I’m not used to that. It’s crazy so that was one of the reasons I was so excited to come here. It just confirmed how many fans, or as I would call them ‘friends’ are here and it’s just amazing to actually finally be here and experience that,” she said.
