“Taylor Swift Biggest Fan Contest Is Won By 39-Year Old Man And Subsequently Cancelled!” blares Perez Hilton.
According to the blogger and a number of other dubious outlets, a KISS FM contest to uncover the biggest Swift fan, who would then get to meet the singer, was canceled after it was ”won by a 39-year old dude who was allegedly going to sniff TayTay’s hair with the camera’s rolling.”
Creepy indeed.
There’s just one problem.

That’s NOT why it was canceled.
Gossip Cop has learned there was NO winner in the competition, and that it was canceled prematurely after entrants tried rigging the results via spam bots — a violation of Clear Channel’s policies for its contests.
“Taylor had nothing to do with it, and they were more than a week away from the end of the contest when it was compromised and they had to shut it down,” a source close to the situation tells us, stressing, ”There was never even anything close to a winner.”
And there you have it.
