Taylor Swift has a date for the Academy of Country Music Awards, and no it's no one famous.  Until now, that is.   Tay has invited 18-year old Kevin McGuire to go with her to the ACM's April 1st.  Kevin, who has leukemia, had asked Taylor to go with him to his senior prom.   She wasn't able to do that, but instead asked him to the awards show!   "Kevin I'm so sorry but I won't be able to make it to your prom, " Taylor wrote on her Facebook page.  "But I was wondering, the ACM Awards are coming up.  Would you be my date?"   Although right now Kevin is currently in the hospital, he told the Philadelphia Inquirer, "Obviously I said yes.  The ACM Awards is a lot better than my senior prom."   Kevin's sister Victoria came up with the idea and made up a Facebook page for the cause, called "Taylor Swift Take Kevin McGuire to Prom!"    This is Kevin's second go-round with the disease, which was diagnosed when he was 13.  "I tried to think of a kind person who would make me feel OK.   And laugh."  he said. "A person who would look amazing, and the one person who would make me feel special for one night.  It was her."   Couldn't agree more Kevin!  Fingers crossed he'll feel well enough to go!   Read all about it here.  The ACM's are April 1st in Las Vegas.   Taylor is nominated in the entertainer of the year, female vocalist and video categories.
