Louisville Kosair Kid snags Taylor Swift tickets after costume goes viral on TikTok

Indianapolis is the final US stop on Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, and one lucky Louisville resident will be at Lucas Oil Stadium after going viral with his Taylor-themed Halloween costume.

Eleven-year-old Henry Hinson became a TikTok superstar earlier this month when his mother posted a video of him wearing the costume, a pink-and-purple masterpiece with a huge, sculpted cape modeled after Kameron Saunder, one of Swift's backup dancers , and a clip of Swift on a stage. Hinson, who was born with spina bifida and is wheelchair-bound, wore the outfit to Kosair for Kids Night at Boo at the Louisville Zoo. Hinson is known for his creative costumes that his parents helped him create, but this one was truly a success. The video has 4.8 million views on TikTok and was featured on “Good Morning America.”

Thanks to the Swifties, Swift's management team Taylor Nation saw the video, reached out to Hinson and offered him two free tickets to one of the shows in Indianapolis. His reaction when his mother told him the news was priceless. This video also went viral and was viewed over 1 million times on TikTok.

Hinson plans to wear his costume to the show. Maybe we'll have another viral moment if Taylor spots him in the audience. Even if she doesn't, it's cool to see a kid from Kentucky live out his wildest dreams.
