We all know that Taylor Swift has once again captivated us with her latest release, Speak Now TV. To be honest with you, this album holds a really unique place in our hearts! 😉 When Ayala Malls Market! Market! announced that they would be hosting a grand launching party for Speak Now TV, Ange and I wasted no time and registered for admission. Despite the fact that the event was free, they still conducted a poll to estimate attendance. We eagerly registered back in June 2023 because, well, who wouldn't be excited about such an event? 😁

As the event day drew closer, Ange couldn't resist purchasing The Eras Tour Merch, which we had seen all over Shopee and TikTok. Our excitement levels exploded, as we knew that lots of booths would be set up at the venue, providing a huge selection of Taylor Swift merchandise. The event was scheduled to start with a registration period at 10 AM, perfectly aligned with the mall's opening time. We arrived on time, even before 11 AM, around 10:30 AM, determined to get a good location among a group of supporters. Would you agree that it was clear how enthusiastic we were? We anticipated a bustling crowd, especially since it was a weekend.😁

Upon our arrival, we found a long queue forming at the registration booth. Attendees were given a choice between receiving a Speak Now bracelet or enjoying a free self-photobooth experience. We chose the second option since it provided us the ability to make unforgettable experiences that we would treasure forever We went to the lots of booths after securing our seats close to the stage.

_{Other Booths in the venue}

As we explored the event, we unexpectedly came across a karaoke session where they were singing all of Taylor's songs. Anyone could go up on stage and show off their singing skills and jam along. The organizers and staff did an awesome job creating a friendly and welcoming vibe. There were no rules or limitations - everyone was invited to fully enjoy the fun-filled celebration. We chose to start with the self-photobooth because we anticipated a long queue if we waited until noon. They had prepared some props for us, and of course, they provided free printed and soft copies of the photos. There was also a booth selling coffee for all the coffee lovers out there, as well as Speak Now TV merchandise like T-shirts, tote bags, wallets, refrigerator magnets, wristbands, cellphone holders, pins, photocard, stickers and various other budget-friendly and affordable items that suited us as students.

However, due to our strict parents, we had to reluctantly leave the event at around 4 PM. It was a mix of emotions because we missed out on seeing Taylor Sheesh rock the stage and blow everyone away with her incredible performance. If you're a regular on TikTok or a die-hard Taylor fan like us (shoutout to all my fellow PH peeps!), you know exactly what I mean when I say Taylor Sheesh! hahaha😆

Let me tell you, the unity and bond among the fans were out of this world. Throughout the event, we met so many friendly folks and felt this incredible sense of togetherness. It was such a lovely reminder of how music has the extraordinary power to bring together people and create strong connections.

Now, we're anxiously waiting for the Eras Tour in Singapore. And who knows, maybe she'll even bring the tour to the Philippines! We'd gladly be part of the crowd, even if she decides to grab her guitar for an intimate performance. We would like hearing from you! Did you also have a launch party for Speak Now TV? Share your experiences with us! Stay tuned for more exciting content. Until next time, hive peeps!😍
