Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Awwwwwwwkward

Here’s Taylor Swift, pimping out her senior prom night for an MTV show called Once Upon a Prom. Taylor chose to go to prom with Whit Wright, of Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. She narrowed the group of applicants down to about 14, then picked Whit’s name out of a hat. Taylor will be on tour when her own high school has its senior prom.

Wearing a beige BCBG full-length gown, Swift picked up Wright in her new tour bus. But when she discovered that her date was wearing a pink tie and vest to honor a friend’s mother who is battling breast cancer, she ran to the back of the bus and changed into a pale pink dress by Sue Wong.

Aw, that’s really cute. This dude seems really, really uncomfortable, but also very sweet.

I didn’t get to go to my senior prom, either. But that was more because I’d dropped out of high school by then, and less because I was an international superstar. It’s okay, though. I’m pretty sure I got laid that night, anyway, which is more than I can say for Taylor. “I don’t kiss on the first date!” she lied, when asked if there was any monkey business between her and Whit.

  • I’m sure he’ll feel great once he realizes that MTV documented the fact that he couldn’t get a real date for the prom and that he most certainly didn’t get “any” on prom night. But maybe that’s just my bad-prom memory-bitterness filtering through.

    Might have been fun to see country star Taylor Swift as someone’s date for a prom in the ‘hood.

  • thats really nice that he wore pink because his friends mom had breast cancer…he should have gotten a real date though..im sure if he would have asked someone other then the “popular girls” that they would have said yes, but then he could have been really shy and didnt want to ask but oh well lol..i bet he was happy he got to bring her to prom
