Filipino drag queen John Mac Lane Coronel is swiftly rising to fame for his impersonations of none other than pop icon Taylor Swift. What sets Coronel apart is not just his remarkable resemblance to the singer, but also his commitment to making Swift’s music accessible to fans through more affordable shows.
Starting his Taylor Swift impersonation journey in 2017, Coronel has recently seen a surge in recognition for his performances. His “Errors” tour, spanning from Manila to Melbourne, has garnered attention for its affordability, making it easier for Swifties from all walks of life to experience the thrill of a Taylor Swift concert.
Kaitlyn Jones, a dedicated Taylor Swift fan, expressed her excitement for Coronel’s tribute performances, describing them as “goofy” and suggesting that Swift herself would approve. “I love that John is doing this,” Said Jones.
However, not everyone sees Coronel’s impersonations as a perfect substitution for the real deal. An anonymous sophomore from BC shared a different perspective, stating, “Not really a replacement but it would be cool to see how he interprets Taylor Swift.”
Indeed, Coronel’s performances offer a unique spin on Swift’s music, blending his style with the essence of the pop sensation. While he may not be a direct replacement for Taylor Swift herself, Coronel’s interpretations provide a fresh and entertaining perspective for fans.
As Coronel continues to captivate audiences with his amazing performances, one thing remains certain: his portrayal of Taylor Swift is not just about imitation, but about celebrating the spirit of her music in a way that’s accessible and inclusive for all.
