Fans and concertgoers went wild seeing the “Your Universe” singer not only make an appearance but also dance during the song’s intense chorus.
“Esbi pano nyo napapayag si Sir Rico Blanco na mag-Dungka??!! Omg. Sa tagal nya na sa industry parang first time ko lang sya makita magsayaw sa concert,” a fan shared on X.
Another fan expressed, “yk sb19's THAT group when they collect legends in the industry like pokemon cards and they make icons DANCE to their songs from sir gary v, yael (spongecola) and, now, sir rico blanco lmaooooo.”
