Boston Radio: Kiss 108 Taylor Swift Contest Terminated

A contest looking to find Taylor Swift's biggest fan and offer the person a chance to meet the singer was canceled after a middle-aged man won the contest thanks to an Internet campaign, according to wcpo.com.

On Boston's WXKS-FM Kiss 108's website the station states:



On Tuesday, July 16 music websites such as Baeble.com began soliciting support for a 39-year-old man identified as Charlie Z. who professed his admiration for the 23-year-old pop singer in his contest entry message.

If Charlie had won, the station would have given him tickets to a Swift concert and the chance to have his photo taken with the singer after her show.

The incident is not the first time that an online contest involving Swift and Boston went awry thanks to the Internet.

Internet users hacked a contest offering to have her "perform at your school" by electing her to perform at Boston's Horace Mann School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
