The American singer shared that Velasquez has been “one of [her] idols” while thanking Filipino-American singer Troy Laureta for introducing them to each other.
“Singing with one of my idols used to feel totally out of reach, but tonight, I’m just smiling and so grateful that dreams really do come true,” she said.
“Big thanks to @troylaureta for making this duet happen. And to everyone out there, keep dreaming big and remember. anything is possible. Thank you @reginevalcasid! Hope you all love our duet,” Allred further added.

Prior to their duet, Allred and Laureta performed a cover of Velasquez’s “Araw Gabi” in November 2021.
Allred is notable for being the original singer of “Never Enough,” which was lip-synced by actress Rebecca Ferguson in “The Greatest Showman.” Her identity was initially concealed until she revealed herself after performing the song in “Britain’s Got Talent” in 2022.
The singer also provided the demo vocals for “A Million Dreams.”
Velasquez earlier made headlines after revealing to an ABS-CBN News video interview that she has been preparing for her retirement. She previously held her “Reset” Valentine’s concert last February.
