Taylor Sheesh is the Next Swift Thing

Who wore it better? Sheesh or Swift?

For fans who couldn't get enough of Taylor Swift when she was in Singapore for six dates, they were able to catch Taylor Sheesh, a drag artist who looks like the American pop sensation.

Mac Coronel, 29, is from the Philippines and is known as Taylor Sheesh. She had a two-night sold out show a week after Swift left the Lion City.

Sheesh wowed Swifties in Singapore
Coronel wears a blonde wig, dresses in jewel encrusted bodysuits and wears cowboy boots, lip-synching to Swift's songs and imitating her dance moves.

Sheesh has been impersonating the four-time Grammy winner since 2017 and has a collection of outfits very similar to Swift's. He has been a Swiftie since 2009.

'[Before each show], I will listen to Taylor Swift and watch some of her videos to memorise her choreography and refresh my mind," Coronel said.

After one of his performances in the Philippines went viral last April, his bookings have soared.

And why not -- if you can't see the real Taylor Swift, Sheesh is the next best thing -- and much cheaper too.
