MANILA, Philippines — When it comes to anything Taylor Swift, there's no stopping Filipino Swifties from showing their love for the award-winning American pop superstar. 

Her fans in the Philippines showed their love for her by dominating the online searches related to Taylor Swift on Google on the week of July 2 to 8.
