Taylor Swift to the Rescue…Again

Taylor Swift

When it comes to taking care of her fans, I’m not sure anyone does it better than Taylor Swift. From prom date requests from ill fans to funny video antics, Taylor pays attention. Well, to no surprise Taylor is at it again.

Last September, a mother and daughter Summer, ventured out to Taylor’s Sacramento Speak Now tour stop for a night of girls fun. Unfortunately, a drunk driver stopped them in their tracks, and put them on a very long path to recovery.

I could see him passed out at the wheel, coming closer and hitting us,” said Summer. “It was really scary.”

Officer Lowry was impressed by Summer’s strength through the ordeal, and her inability to stop smiling. He decided to try to contact Taylor which proved to be harder than he thought. So, he reached out to CBS 13 (Taylor’s lucky no….coincidence, I don’t think so). The news station used their powers to help out.

Taylor people contacted them and are sending Summer and her mother to the next Sacramento show along with some swag.

You can see a video here.

Josh Kelley and his wife Katherine Heigl are the proud parents to two adopted girls. According to People.com, Josh and Katherine named their second daughter Adalaide Marie Hope.

“Her full name is Adalaide Marie Hope Kelley — Adalaide because of my great-grandmother, Marie after my middle name, and Hope because that is what the process became, said Katherine.

The baby girl was adopted from here in the US, unlike her 3 1/2 old sister Naleigh, who was adopted from Korea.

Katherine, who who doesn’t cry easily, shed tears of joy.

I’m not gonna lie, this was one of those moments where you can’t help but be overcome with emotion. There were some tears and (a) lot of giddiness and joy.”

Congrats to the happy couple!!
