Taylor Swift Surprises 96yo WW2 Vet & Superfan for Christmas - New Madrid, MO

and I don't really know when we're going on tour next, so I figured I'd just kind of like do one if you wanted to hear any songs. We could just kind of, I brought my guitar, so we could do some requests. My dad really wanted to say hi, so this is my mom. This is Holly, by the way. Hi! How's it going? Oh my goodness! Hi! Oh my goodness! Thank you! Hi! How are you? Oh my gosh! I don't know! I'm her mother, yes. This is my mom. Hi! Hey! I just saw you. You have a beautiful face. Sorry, sorry. Thank you, and thank you for coming to the shows. That's so cool. I saw the pictures of you guys at the shows. That is so awesome. How did you get here so quick? Well, you know, it's a beautiful day outside. We had to drive seven miles per hour down the highway. It's worth it. I figured you'd get me as well. I did think, well, if it's a place where a helicopter's laying, I'd be like right in the line. My dad's dad is a World War II veteran, too. And so I know he's just really happy to be here. My dad's getting emotional. You're okay, hon. Are you here today? Yes, I am. So we all wanted to thank you for your service, and thank you so much for being so wonderful. I've got a short story to tell about World War II. If you've got time to listen. Golly, I can't believe this. I normally give out guitar picks. But I'm going to give them to your grandpa. He's going to give them out. They put them in the stock. I'm sorry. I feel like I'm crowding them. Let me get out of the way here. Oh, he's still here. Why don't you stand right here? Hello, county boys. I went to the 8th grade. And that was the 19th. And I born 11, 29, 20. And I'm 21 years. Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. And went on a little while. In fact, I got forced into the best school in the world. As far as I'm concerned. That's what did me. And that means I called it the best school in the world. Because I learned more than three years, six months, and 28 days. And I learned about 96 years. I'm proud of my family. And I'm proud of my country. Hey, there's somebody here. Alright, she's going to sing. 6'9", 26 inches. Dad, I can't believe my chin. Do you have a guitar pick? This one goes to Mr. Porter. Amazing. Well, just anything you want to sing along with, just do it. This family doesn't seem to have a problem with guitar. I haven't played this in a while. Let's see if I can still do it. Come on Chuck, you know the words. There she is. Yeah, that's her favorite song. Shake it off, shake it off. Shake it till it breaks. Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake. Shake it off, shake it off. Never miss a beat. Work it on my feet. That's what people see me do. I'm dancin' on my own, dancin' on my own But the rules are gonna go, the rules are gonna go Don't you think I'll go? But I keep movin' Can't stop, won't stop movin' Right now I got this music In my mind sayin' it's gonna be alright Cause the play is gonna play, play, play, play, play And the pain is gonna fade, fade, fade, fade I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake Shake it off, shake it off Cause the fun thing is gonna break, break, break, break, break And the pain is gonna fade, fade, fade, fade, fade I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake it off Shake it off, shake it off Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off. Hey, hey. Meanwhile, you can get down out of the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world. You could be getting down to this sick beat. My ex-man brought his new girlfriend.
