Sam Concepcion receives a hug from Taylor Swift

As a Taylor Swift fan, I would have to say that Sam Concepcion is the luckiest guy in the Philippines! Not only that Grammy winner Taylor Swift chose him personally to do the front act of her "Speak Now" concert in Araneta last Friday, but he also received a sweet big hug from the beautiful international singing sensation!

Yes, Taylor Swift gave Sam Concepcion a hug after thanking the latter for his performance.

Whew! Check out the picture below:



According to Carlo Orosa, Sam's manager, Taylor congratulated Sam for an awesome front act.

"Sam you were awesome, great... thank you!", Taylor reportedly said.

It left Sam all smiles.

"I totally did not expect for her to hug me, she seemed excited and so I got very excited too," Sam said.

If you have read on a post that I made a couple of days ago, I shared about international singing sensation Taylor Swift choosing Pinoy teen heartthrob Sam Conception to open her sold-out Manila concert this February 19, 2011 at Araneta Coliseum. Check the post HERE.


In a PEP interview, Sam said that he has received the good news and is ecstatic that he is not just doing the front act of the Manila Concert but all of the Asian countries Taylor Swift will be doing a concert at as part of her Asian Tour!

"I was told that Taylor Swift was looking for a front act for her concert. I tried out. But I didn't hear anything from them for so long. So, I'm like 'It's okay.' Then... I was thrilled when Renen [De Guia, concert producer] called up my manager [Carlo Orosa] who called me and said, 'You got it! But there's more...'"

Sam paused for effect, "[He told me], 'You will do the front act for her whole Asian tour.' I was floored!"

When asked if opening for Taylor's concerts in Asia could be the break he has been waiting for in his international career, here's his response:

"I hope so," Sam said, smiling.
