Camden County teen accepts Taylor Swift’s invitation to awards show

    Camden County teen Kevin McGuire won’t be going to his prom with Taylor Swift, but the country music star has a better offer.

    She wants to take McGuire to the upcoming Academy of Country Music Awards.

    McGuire’s sister, Victoria, began a social media campaign last week to get Swift to the Sterling High School prom with Kevin, who has cancer.
