MANILA, Philippines — Troye Sivan gave his rainbow flag-bearing Filipino fans everything they want during the Manila leg of his "The Bloom Tour" — and oh my my my, the queer popstar did serve good looks and hits!
“This is a big queer energy,” the South African-born Australian artist told the crowd at the Mall of Asia Arena on Wednesday, May 1.
Sivan opened his show with pop ballad track "Seventeen," from his critically-acclaimed sophomore album “Bloom,” from which the tour is named after.
“I went out looking for love when I was seventeen/Maybe a little too young, but it was real to me,” he sang.
The 23-year-old singer also delighted his Pinoy fans with hits from his debut album “Blue Neighbourhood,” which catapulted him to global stardom with chart-topping singles "Wild" and "Youth."
Sivan closed his 17-song Manila show with "Bloom" lead single “My My My!” — a throbbing track that landed on several best-of-2018 lists.
