Taylor Swift Asks NJ Teen To Country Music Awards

Taylor Swift has a date for the Academy of Country Music awards.

The country star asked a fan, Kevin McGuire of Somerdale, N.J., to the awards show. McGuire is 18 and has leukemia. His sister had started a campaign on Facebook to get Swift to go with him to his prom.

Swift writes in a Facebook post of her own that she canโ€™t make it to the prom, but that sheโ€™d like for McGuire to accompany her to the awards ceremony April 1 in Las Vegas. She is nominated for three awards.
