I'm not a fan of all her teen pop songs and a lot of the ones I do like are over played. But, Taylor Swift has become one of the cooler young celebrates. Not because she has won just about every award possible or because she handled Mr. West with style and grace. But, because she is a real person who does what everyone else does and it seems like she really just enjoys making music. Yesterday Taylor helped her reputation even more by making the dreams of a few Auburn University students come true. (Not an Auburn fan, but this is a call story)
Apparently, in January, Michael Wekall and Ryan Leander started the website A Hug From Taylor Swift. Their goal? To receive a hug from Taylor Swift. D'uh! The two posted videos and made online pleas to the star, which were soon met with a challenge from Taylor herself: perform some good deeds, encourage others to do the same, and perhaps the dream of an in-person meeting would come true.
Michael and Ryan did as they were asked - and Swift made good on her promise. Yesterday, Wekall and Leander posted on their site asking students to meet them for a special karaoke session. Soon after the group completed a rendition of "You Belong With Me," Swift appeared on stage, donning a "Hug from Mike and Ryan" t-shirt.Fast forward to the four-minute mark below to get to the especially cool part:
I would have much rather her call the dawgs, but this is a cool story nonetheless. GO DAWGS!
