MANILA -- Child actress Xia Vigor admitted that she was overwhelmed by the sudden attention she has been receiving for her spot-on impersonation of pop star Taylor Swift in "Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids."

Mimicking Swift's mannerisms and outfits, Vigor drew praises from international publications such as Time, People, The Huffington Post, Billboard, and Entertainment Weekly, just to name a few, for her cover of "You Belong With Me."

"Masaya po ako kasi po ibang bansa po iyong nag-comment sa akin so sobra po akong na-excite," the 7-year-old told ABS-CBN, adding that she never thought she would have a tiny taste of international fame.

"Masaya po ako dahil napapansin na rin po ako. Dati po hindi ako masyadong sikat pero ngayon po," she shared, before giving the camera the thumbs up."

Vigor first made a name for herself for winning the celebrity impersonation contest of "It's Showtime" in 2015 as Selena Gomez. She then went on to lead her own segment for the noontime program.

She is now currently part of the morning series "Langit Lupa" and the aforementioned "Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids."

Asked if she would be willing to guest on U.S. talk shows such as "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" should an invite come along, Vigor replied: "Siyempre naman po. Ibang bansa iyon eh."
