Pop singer Raisa Andriana recently asked her fans to edit her photo and they did not disappoint.
The singer posted a series of tweets with the hashtag #RaisaThrowback on Sunday, in which she reminisced on her journey in the music industry, which started in May 2010 with her debut single “Serba Salah”.
“The #RaisaThrowback thread has made me miss performing on stage. Can you edit my photo here so it'll look like I’m singing at GBK [Gelora Bung Karno stadium]?” read the post, alongside a photo of the 29-year-old singer waving near a swimming pool.

Netizens immediately delivered, and hours later, Raisa posted another tweet, “I’m shocked!! I just opened my Twitter and read the replies… I’m speechless.”
Some edited her photo as if she was on stage surrounded by an audience at GBK, as requested.
Yang ini juga aku lafff bangeett ♥️ https://t.co/AErzFz8fjq

Others chose a different route. Twitter user @lerkvd, for instance, edited the photo as if the singer was being followed by a flock of ducks in the middle of the stadium.
OMG makin ga ngerti lagi hahahaha 😂 https://t.co/vDjzUTJ4jl

Netizen @panjinugroho altered the photo as if Raisa was a soccer referee showing a yellow card to one of the players.

Meanwhile, @rizkymuhr made the singer look like she was heading the ball in a soccer match.

“The replies made me laugh so hard,” tweeted Raisa. “Twitter users are very creative.”
Raisa was initially scheduled to hold a concert on June 27 at GBK, however it was later postponed to Nov. 28 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (wir/kes)
