I’ve been their fan for as long as I can remember, so when they told me about the partnership, I was shocked. It really felt like a full circle moment. I’m seriously so grateful. You don’t understand! Fries are a must for me. Especially Potato Corner fries. Nothing beats the classics like Cheese and Sour Cream. When that craving hits, I need it,” she told <strong>PUSH ABS-CBN</strong> in an exclusive interview. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-16" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ-iBkeyWyw/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A16%2C%22os%22%3A5884569.6%2C%22ls%22%3A220759.09999999986%2C%22le%22%3A221345%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-16" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/4/14/niana-guerrero-meets-j-hope-of-bts-1109"><strong>READ: Niana Guerrero meets J-Hope of BTS</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>During the event, Niana also talked about how her love for dancing first started and which song she remembers learning the choreography.</p><p>“Music has always been our thing in the family and then dancing just followed. I started super young—one of my core memories is copying Michael Jackson through the screen and my kuya dancing in the living room. I just instantly fell in love with it. The first song I ever learned choreography to was &#x27;Beat It&#x27; by Michael Jackson. I was super young and just trying to copy my kuya and the MJ videos my fam and i would watch together. The first song I ever choreographed was probably &#x27;Beauty and a Beat&#x27; by Justin Bieber—I picked it because it was so fun and energetic!” she admitted. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-18" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKPEUZmS_A-/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A18%2C%22os%22%3A5922946.199999999%2C%22ls%22%3A220759.09999999986%2C%22le%22%3A221345%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-18" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/5/2/niana-guerrero-is-the-may-cover-star-harper-s-bazaar-singapore-1612"><strong>READ: Niana Guerrero is the May cover star Harper’s BAZAAR Singapore</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>With continuous offers to join showbiz, the Gen Z internet star revealed she is not saying no to the possibility of acting onscreen in the future. “Right now, I’m really focused on dancing and content creation—but who knows?
