It’s been a week since Melanie Martinez finally descended down to the Philippines but we still can’t quite get over it.

The eclectic pop singer opened her mythical Portals tour to her Filipino fans with her long awaited Manila debut. Held on January 23, Martinez transported the packed crowd to an otherworldly dimension charactered by celestial beings and vibrant, rainbow lights, painting the walls of Pasay City’s World Trade Center with magic and whimsy.

Taking on the role of the pink mythical creature from her Portals album, Martinez took fans on an hour long journey through the record as she performed tracks like “VOID”, “DEATH”, “EVIL”, and more. Here’s a glimpse into what happened at Melanie Martinez’s first-ever Filipino concert, in photos.
