Taylor Swift and a school for the deaf:
In 2012, Taylor Taylor swift and her management held an online campaign aimed at getting Taylor swift to perform at any school on the country. First you had to like Taylor swift Facebook’s page and then vote in the poll for your favorite school in the United States. Any school that came on top of the polls would receive a visit from Taylor swift. 4chan users soon heard of the campaign and decided to rig the votes. In large numbers, they voted for Horace Mann School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. They were sending Taylor swift to perform at a school full of people who lacked to ability to hear.
Horace Mann School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing ended up winning the poll very easily. Taylor swift however decided not to play at the school, but she and four other organizations instead chose to give $10,000 apiece to the school. Taylor’s management stated that the school had been disqualified because they used unconventional methods to win the poll.
