Melai Cantiveros in her singer era?

Melai’s feed lit up with snapshots and clips from the trip, where her family can be seen exploring famous spots in the city, eating South Korean food, and visiting various tourist spots around Busan and Seoul.
But what’s gotten people commenting and sharing is the background music she used in her reels.
In one video she posted, she was running in slow-motion while humming and singing snippets of Taylor Swift's “Sweet Nothing.”
“This is what my Brain to Busan is π§ π«°I cannot express it in words but in expression of my facial π₯°π Guys truly Busan Is Good #BusanIsGood @ktomanila @visitbusan.en @visitbusan.kr Kamsahamnida λͺ¨λ μ¬λ modeun salam π₯°β€οΈππ,” she wrote in the caption.

Netizens could not help but laugh and share their jokes in the comments.
“Sweet Nothing βPagkakatames β ,” a fan joked.
“lamok sa tenga ko pag matutulog nako be like,” another added.
As of this writing, the video now has 3.8 million views and 451.6 thousand likes. Netizens also had their share of the laugh with videos using Melai's audio.
Another video containing a compilation of the Francisco family’s night yacht experience and Melai’s off-the-cuff impromptu soundtrack cracked the netizens once more. In her newest upload, she covered Kali Uchis’ “Äll I Can Say”.
“Alam ko marami nanaman kayu mumurahin ako sa Voice Record ko. PeaceSamnida EveryOne βοΈβοΈβοΈπ,” Melai playfully captioned.
“hindi pa ako nakakamove on sa Sweet Nothing πππ,” a netizen jokingly shared.
“ate melai pakilapag na lang po yung spotify niyo,” a fan teased, clearly ready for her music drop.
Meanwhile, her second clip has also gone viral, hitting 2.9 million views and 425 thousand likes.
The Francisco family enjoyed their South Korea trip as they visited favorite spots like Busan’s Skyline Luge, Haeundae Blueline Park, Lotte World Adventure, and Samjin Fish Cake Making Experience.
Her daughters, Stella and Mella, even danced to “Soda Pop” by the Saja Boys of KPop Demon Hunters as they visited the Soda Pop World in Everland, Seoul.
