Welp, it seems that Taylor Swift and her Filipino stans are never ever getting back together anytime soon.

Alas, today is not exactly the best day to be a Filipino Swiftie. As Taylor Swift unveiled the highly anticipated schedule for ‘The Eras Tour,’ many hearts skipped a beat… or rather, a few beats. Unfortunately, there’s no Philippines stop on the list, and the nation’s hopes for a surprise announcement quickly transformed into sorrows and disappointments.
As one of, if not the biggest and most passionate Taylor Swift fanbase, it’s just reasonable that the Filo stans are losing it all over the Internet after the heartbreaking news. And honestly, they have all the right to be. If there’s anything that all the fan-led concerts around the country over the last couple of months have proven, it’s that the love and dedication of Filo Swifties are unparalleled.
From memes that will leave you in stitches to some hope-filled (borderline delusional) fan theories to some who remained optimistic amid the hopelessness, Filipino Swifties went on quite an emotional rollercoaster online, most especially on Twitter, where the topic “Philippines” trended nationwide. Below are some of the most interesting tweets we’ve gathered that are full of tears, screams, with a sprinkle of unwavering positivity.

Philippines… The land where the most @taylorswift13 streams in Asia, 2nd only to US in the whole world, is from; and where so many individuals appreciate and support her so much, suffered like this.

This is a fan-initiated “The Eras Festival” in Cebu inspired by The Eras Tour.
— VAMPIRE kheen 🧛♀️ (@loveinfolklore) June 20, 2023
We organized this event, and there were around 1,500-2,000 Swifties jamming and singing along.
More Swifties will be accompanied if we have Eras Tour in the Philippines. Please? 🥹#WeWantErasTourPH https://t.co/mEKymJmXhX pic.twitter.com/7fsdvh925v
This is a fan-initiated event. Does Taylor not want this energy from Filipino Swifties? 🥲#WeWantErasTourPH https://t.co/mEKymJmXhX pic.twitter.com/qkC23eaXL3

COLONIALISM CARD

THE STADIUM DISCOURSE
France and Sweden’s venue are Arenas with almost similar capacity as Philippine Arena so why is Philippines not on the list? I hope there’s a separate announcement. 💔😢#TheErasTourTS #TheErasTourPhilippines https://t.co/nYxVDrnFBe pic.twitter.com/Zg3dr5J1QD

Here's how The Eras Tour stage will look like if it's in New Clark City Athletics Stadium. This has a seating capacity of 20,000, the field has a total area of approximately 21,000 sqm. #TaylorSwift #TaylorSwiftTheErasTour @taylorswift13 @taylornation13 pic.twitter.com/jxGN1otk0g
