Mac Coronel, who is popularly known as Taylor Sheesh, made a surprise appearance in the latest episode of ABS-CBN’s “It’s Showtime.”
The Pinay drag queen was a guest in Amy Perez‘s performance of Taylor Swift‘s “Shake It Off” in the “Magpasikat” segment of November 7’s episode of the noontime show.
“Magpasikat” is an anniversary special where the “It’s Showtime” hosts form different groups to showcase their talents to the viewers.
Team KALM comprising Karylle, Amy, Lassy Marquez and MC Muah did a musical production featuring other talented local personalities and an augmented reality character named Lulu.
A video of it was uploaded on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube Channel on Tuesday.
Here, it was also summarized that the group’s overall performance tells the sacrifices of a family.
“Team Karylle-Amy-Lassy-MC Magpasikat performance highlights the importance and sacrifices of our family through imagination and using Lulu the Augmented Reality character,” the caption reads.
Taylor, the drag artist, appeared during Amy’s part of the act. The veteran TV presenter played the role of a maid in a mansion.
A video clip of it was shared by X account Alt Kapamilya Channel on the platform.
