OMAHA, Neb. — This might come as a surprise to some, but the biggest Taylor Swift fan may be from Omaha.
Frank Uryasz, 95, started a Taylor Swift fan club at the Remington Heights Retirement Community in Omaha, in hopes of attracting the singer's attention and a visit.
The initiative began when a worker expressed disappointment to Uryasz that Swift hadn't responded to her letters.
"That's when she said, 'What am I going to do?' And I said, 'I know some people,'" Uryasz said.
The 95-year-old took action by starting his own Taylor Swift fan club.
"We limited the club to 10 originally, and then 20, and now it's 100," he said.
The club is pretty exclusive.
"Someone has to sponsor you if you're not a member of Remington," he said.
The fan club has gained attention from Swifties nationwide, including Molly from North Carolina, who sent cookies and friendship bracelets to Uryasz and the club.
"Very interesting that someone would go through that much trouble to make bracelets for us," Uryasz said.
When asked what he would say to Taylor Swift if she were to watch, Uryasz expressed his desire for her to visit.
When asked what he would say to the superstar if he had the chance, Uryasz said, "I'd say, 'Please come and see us, we need you very much,' and with his (Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs tight end and Swift's fiancée) permission, I'd give her a hug."
Efforts to bring Taylor Swift to Omaha are underway, with plans to hand-deliver an envelope to her circle in Kansas City.
"It's, of course, a picture of me, what else do you need?" Uryasz said.
The envelope contains not only a picture of Uryasz, but also letters to Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Taylor Swift, as Uryasz is a lifelong Chiefs fan.
"We're having a wonderful time with this, and we hope to get the two of them to come, if not one. Kelce will have to stay home and play football," he said.
With his walker adorned with a custom T-Swift decal, Uryasz and the club are hopeful for some good "karma."
"If things go right, I can't say anything but, 'Thank gosh,'" he said.
