A budget airline teased Filipino Swifties about its Taylor Swift-themed flights days ahead of the global popstar’s Singapore stop of her record-breaking “The Eras Tour.”
Cebu Pacific on Wednesday, February 28, asked ticket holders of flights 5J1989 if they were ready “for a singalong.”
“‘Cause the music’s gonna play, play, play, play. #iykyk (If you know, you know),” it added.
The phrase is a modified version of some of the lyrics of one of Taylor’s hits in her “1989” album, “Shake It Off.”
It has the following verse: “‘Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play.”
The Facebook post has expectedly earned various reactions from Filipinos, including those unaware of the airline’s Taylor-themed flights.
“Sana all flight like 5J615 din,” an online user wrote with emojis of a grinning-with-sweat, laughing-with-tears and a peace sign.
“Akala ko lugar ‘yung singalong,” another Pinoy commented. In Manila, there is a street named Singalong.
“Kaya ba sobrang mahal ng flights [niyo] to SG [Singapore]?” a different user quipped.
Last month, Cebu Pacific designated certain flights to Singapore to flight number 5J1989 ahead of Taylor’s stop in the city-state for her “The Eras Tour.”
The flight number is also a reference to the artist’s latest re-recorded album, “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” released in late 2023.
