A competition for a meet-and-greet with Taylor Swift has been cancelled after online communities voted to have a man described as "creepy" win the contest.
The man, a 39-year-old man identified solely as Charles, was catapulted to win on Reddit and 4chan online communities after another user appealed for votes for him, noting: "My creepy 39-year-old friend named Charles would like to crush all those girls' dreams (and then sniff Taylor Swift's hair cos he's into that) by winning this instead . . . Help him crush the dreams of these girls and give him a chance to make a complete a** of himself by blatantly just sniffing her hair with the cameras rolling."
In his entry, Charles identified himself as a "a 39-year-old man and I love Taylor so much and don't care that both adults and children mock me for it."
The contest was then cancelled by host radio station in Boston, who explained: "Disappointingly, we have determined that the integrity of the 'Taylor Swift's Biggest Fan' contest has been compromised. In accordance with our contest rules, effective immediately, the contest has been terminated. We apologize to all of our loyal listeners who have participated."
