Taylor Sheesh

Having opened for RuPaul's Drag Race contestants in the Philippines, Sheesh has been professionally impersonating Swift since 2017.

Publications have described Sheesh as "the Philippines' top Taylor Swift impersonator" and her shows as an alternative experience to the Eras Tour.

[2] His first drag impersonation was of American singer Lady Gaga,[5] when he dressed as her to a nightclub, participated in a "lip-sync battle" contest there unplanned, and won the competition.

[1][11][13] Sheesh also performed at Brooklyn Warehouse, a large event space in the Metro Manila region.

[15] In an interview with Vulture, Coronel said that he makes the Taylor Sheesh shows free or affordable "as much as possible", with sponsorships offered by the hosting mall and a few brands.

It sparked renewed calls for the passage of an anti-discrimination bill that would protect members of the LGBTQ community from harassment and violence in the Philippines.

[1] The Guardian said, "on stage, Sheesh moves much like the American star, with the same hair flicks and hand gestures.

"[2] BBC described Sheesh as "the Taylor Swift drag tribute dazzling Asia" and praised her outfits—"an impressive collection of fringed outfits and bejewelled leotards".

[18] Coronel's life story and Sheesh's rise to fame are to be featured on an episode of the Philippine anthology television show Magpakailanman, starring Filipino actors Luis Hontiveros and Boobay.

[5] In 2023, Coronel again quit the call center and began pursuing drag full-time, touring the Philippines as Sheesh.

He realized he was gay as a child and has stated it was "something his family could not accept"; however, following his success as Sheesh, his relatives have "congratulated" him.
