Taylor does it again!
Posted in: Uncategorized
Taylor Swift, Auburn University students Michael Wekall and Ryan Leander can cross an item off their bucket lists. She surprised the originators of ahugfromtaylorswift.com Monday (4/26) with a private concert for completing their assigned challenges. The duo’s site features a series of online video blogs campaigning to meet Swift in a two-step process: “1. Hug Taylor Swift, and 2. DIE HAPPY!” They earned more than 61,000 views over three months before Swift herself acknowledged the campaign in March. “They seem very dedicated,” she posted. “… Like they would be game for some challenges.” After completing challenge one of helping an old lady across the street and challenge two of using Swift’s favorite No. 13 in a creative way, Wekall and Leander organized a Swift karaoke party in Auburn, AL. A Swift video message interrupted the “You Belong With Me” sing-along before Swift walked in the back door (to mass hysteria) wearing a “Hug For Mike And Ryan” t-shirt. “After all you have done, I feel a hug might not be enough. Maybe you, Ryan and Michael, would like front-row seats at one of my concerts,” Swift offered after chanting the school’s “War Eagle” battle cry.
