MANILA - A lucky fan got the chance to be with international pop star
Madonna on stage during the first night of her concert at the Mall of
Asia Arena on Wednesday.
That lucky fan is stylist Shahani Gania, who introduced himself to Madonna as "
Super Starlet."
In a lengthy
Facebook post, Gania shared how he ended up dancing with Madonna during her performance of the song "Unapologetic Bitch."
He said it all started when two ladies gave him an SVIP ticket, giving him a better view of his idol.
"I cried! I hugged both of them, and in between sobs I explained to them that I'm such a huge fan and that I organized this Madonna exhibit. It was an Oprah moment!" he said.
According to Gania, Madonna made eye contact with him the moment she emerged on stage. He, in turn, sang and danced to every single performance.
"From there, hindi ko na siya binitawan. I knew all the songs! I sang with her in all of them. I danced to everything, never sat down at all! I screamed out the names of all the dancers. She looked at me directly sa isang buong chorus ng 'Who's that Girl'! Heaven!" he said.
Gania said the same ladies who gave him the SVIP ticket then asked him if he wanted to be Madonna's "Unapologetic Bitch" for the night.
Of course, without hesitation, he said yes. At the end of the performance, Madonna gave him a banana and a straw.
Recalling the experience, Gania said: "I had my 4 minutes with her. She called me brave. Her eyes were so beautiful! I made her laugh! Everything was too much to handle! Nakasayaw ko si Madonna! Inakbayan niya ako. Pinatong niya ulo niya sa akin. Sinabi niya ang pangalan ko paulit-ulit: Super Starlet!"
"Ang saya-saya ko right now! Feeling ko lahat ng ginawa ko tama... Mula sa exhibit at pag-memorize ng buong concert, hanggang sa last-minute decision na mag-drag. Everything just came together. The universe gave me my moment with Madonna... The one thing I've been wishing for ever since I found out she was coming to Manila."
Fellow Madonna fans took to social media to congratulate Gania for being chosen to dance with the international pop star on stage.
One of them is "It's Showtime" host
Anne Curtis, who even wore a Madonna-inspired outfit during the show.
