Hi
there! My names Hannah Hawkins, I'm 19 years old, I live in Owensboro, KY and I
absolutely love Taylor Swift. Everyone who knows me knows that I am a die-hard
fan of Taylor Swift, or some may say, I am a Swiftie. I've been listening to
Taylor Swift since I first heard Our Song and it has just grown since then. I
was surprised with Red Tour tickets two years ago on Christmas for Nashville on
9/19/13, which would also be the first time I would see Taylor Swift in
concert. Once the show had come and gone, I was hooked and I have followed
Taylor Swift along with many other Swifities. In the last year, I have missed
the opportunities to meet Taylor Swift countless of times. But I got lucky
enough for Taylor Swift to notice me on Instagram and Twitter and I just know
this is a sign that my chance of meeting her is soon!
What
I am about to propose may be a long shot but with the help of family and
friends within my community, I hope I can succeed.
Since
I was 16 years old, I have been working at the world famous Moonlite Bar-B-Q
Inn. The restaurant is known worldwide and has over hundreds of thousands
people visit each year. It is family owned business and is famously known for
their all you can eat BBQ buffet which is offered seven days a week. Moonlite
has been visited by celebrities, former president Bill Clinton, Kiss, former
Miss America’s and more, throughout the 51 years since the Bosley’s have
started the Moonlite tradition. Evidence of these celebrities visiting are hung
all over the walls in the carry-out section in the restaurant.
Now
what I am trying to accomplish is for my idol, Taylor Swift, to visit Moonlite
Bar-B-Q. Yeah I know, crazy right? Taylor Swift lives in New York but I know
she goes home to Nashville, TN to visit and Owensboro is only two hours away
from Nashville. Taylor Swift’s brother Austin attends Notre Dame University in
Indiana which is only six hours away. Between Taylor traveling to and from
these locations, Moonlite BBQ can be a pit stop for her and her family to eat!
And also for her to meet a huge fan (ME) and visit such a popular place. We
offer private party rooms so if Taylor wanted to eat in privacy, she is able
to. I am willing to pay for her meal and the room if she were to visit!
Here
is where I need your help: Taylor Swift’s upcoming 1989 World Tour starts in
May, so I am trying for her to visit Owensboro and Moonlite in between the
months of January and April before she gets super busy! I am going to need all
the help I can get so if anyone who reads this please sign and help me get
Taylor Swift here! I need 1,500 signatures to achieve this but the more the better! She is my favorite person in the world and I really want her
to visit my hometown! I am so determined and I want nothing more for this to
happen!
To
Taylor:
If
you see this, many fans including me in Owensboro are dying to meet you and I hope you can make the trip to visit
us soon! Please give Moonlite a call if you are able to make it! (270)-684-8143
I was born and raised in Owensboro. I now live in Bentonville, AR. If you do decide to go to Owensboro and eat at Moonlite then also go to Old Hickory and try their BBQ. The winner gets bragging rights and a Taylor Swift concert at their restaurant!!! Hope you decide to experience the great BBQ this city offers!
