Unfortunately, the New Jersey teen came down with a fever and had a low blood count, forcing him to decline her invitation on Saturday after he initially accepted. While he didn’t attend, he still watched the event on TV.

Taylor Swift has made 18-year-old high school student named Kevin McGuire’s dreams come true after he accepted her invitation to the ACM Awards. Kevin was diagnosed with leukemia at age 13, and he beat the odds. But now it's back.  Kevin was so excited about Taylor's invite, he said he was “trying not to throw up.”

After New Jersey senior Kevin McGuire, who is currently fighting cancer for the second time, asked Taylor Swift to be his prom date, the country superstar came back with a shocking invitation, asking to take McGuire to the ACMs with her in April. In the video below, CBS Philly captured the 18-year-old’s reaction when he heard the news from his hospital bed at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
