Taylor Swift Taking Teen With Cancer To The CMAs

[Castiel]

A cancer-stricken New Jersey teen who yearned to take Taylor Swift to his high school prom has scored a dream date to a far more glamorous soiree.
Swift couldn’t make Kevin McGuire’s prom, so she did him one better: She asked him out to the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas.
“Obviously, I said yes,” McGuire, 18, told the Cherry Hill Courier-Post from his bed at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
The award ceremony on April 1 is “a lot better than the senior prom,” added McGuire, who’s battling leukemia.
McGuire has his older sister to thank for setting up the date with one of the planet’s most eligible bachelorettes.
Victoria McGuire set up a Facebook page — Taylor Swift take KEVIN MCGUIRE TO PROM — designed to grab Swift’s attention.
The page went viral, and on Friday, Swift responded.
“Kevin, I'm so sorry but I won't be able to make it to your prom,” the singer wrote on Facebook.
“But I was wondering, the (Academy of Country Music) Awards are coming up…Would you be my date? Love, Taylor.”
The offer left McGuire speechless.
“I was shocked,” he said. “I can’t believe it actually happened. ”
McGuire, a football star from Stratford, is battling leukemia for the second time.
First diagnosed at the age of 13, McGuire was deemed cancer free in 2010, but he recently had a relapse.
“Having this happen makes me feel a lot better,” he said.

This is just such a fucking awesome story. Taylor Swift, you're awesome.

Btw, not sure if this was supposed to go in Entertainment News or not?

Well entertainment news would have been better than the video section. :

But that is cool that she would do that. I hope he don't break her heart though cause I would hate to hear what kind of lyrics she would come up with for him.

:facepalm2:

Then I don't even move it to the right place.

pretty cool of Swift to do this, respect.

 

[TroyTheAverage]

I just don't want the cancer kid to break her heart and then have her write a song about him breaking her clingy heart and hoping he dies of cancer and shit. Cause that would be mean.

 

[Postman Dave]

You never know, he might croak before she gets the chance and she can write about how he broke her heart by dying.

Too much?

That's so sweet of Taylor, this is one of the many reasons I respect and love her cause she's not like most of the stars out there around her age. She's a pretty caring girl which is always a great thing. I doubt she'll write any negative about him thought you both might have been joking but like I don't think he can break her heart unless he just doesn't show up to prom.

 

[TroyTheAverage]

He isn't going to the prom with her, he is going to the CMA's with her.

First of all, lulz at this being posted in the videos section and double lulz at Troy for forgetting to move it. Now, on to more pressing matters, the lyrics would be something like this...

"I thought we were meant to be, until you went and died on me,
boy it smelled like a fart, when you went and broke my heart."

 

[Castiel]

It was a confusing story for any section... I put it in the video section though? I thought I was putting it in the random news section! :

I'm certain he will get a song made about him in some way.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

He isn't going to the prom with her, he is going to the CMA's with her.

oh yeah :laugh: i'm so out of it this morning -_- what the hell is my problem I read the story was told about it before hand and still messed up

I moved it, I just moved it to the media section. I was like WTF?

I moved it, I just moved it to the media section. I was like WTF?

That's alright, one time I moved the Amy Winehouse death story to the A-List music section and then couldn't understand why hardly anyone was responding to it. :

 

[TroyTheAverage]

Well now I don't feel so bad.

 

[Lover Boy]

Taylor Swift is amazing, you wouldn't see this from many celebrities.

 

[TroyTheAverage]

Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis did it first.
