Local Student Asks Taylor Swift to Prom



One student at Hazel Green high school is already making plans for prom. The dance isn't until late April, but he decided he would need a head start if he wanted to go with a very special someone. His approach is a bit non traditional, and now it's getting national attention.

17 year old James Powers doesn't want to take just any girl to prom. He wants to dance the night away with County Music Superstar Taylor Swift.

"I was sitting in class and I realized all my friends had dates to prom and I didn't," said Powers.

Who better to ask than the girl he's had a crush on for some time, and what better way to do it than in a parody of Swift's hit "Our Song.” Powers sat down with his guitar and wrote "Our Prom."

"I made a little video of me playing it, singing it to her. I posted it to YouTube and told all my friends about it, and it just blew up," said Powers.
Thousands have downloaded the song since, and now Powers hopes his lyrics will attract the attention of his Long-time crush.

"I just feel like I really relate to her, and I just love her. Since about seventh grade, secretly I've been like she's kinda cute, I might want to play guitar. She's gorgeous," said Powers.

Powers is currently awaiting Swift’s response.
