Local Teen Too Ill To Be Taylor Swift’s Date
Somerdale, New Jersey teen Kevin McGuire is not well enough to fulfill his dream of a date with Taylor Swift. The Sterling High School student, currently battling cancer, will not be healthy enough to accept Swift's invitation to be by her side during tonight's Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas. A Facebook and Youtube campaign began months ago with family and friends of Kevin McGuire pleading with Swift to accompany him to prom. Unable to make good on that request, Taylor offered Kevin the opportunity to be her date to the ACM's. Taylor recently tweeted:
“He’s not well enough to join me at the ACMs. Please keep him in your thoughts. I’ll make it up to you, Kevin!”
