When Swift’s was a teenager and a new up and coming country artist I had the pleasure of interviewing her over the phone. I was an entertainment reporter for the Wyoming Tribune Eagle at the time. She made two tour stops at Cheyenne Frontier Days in 2008 and another in 2009. My article appeared in the WTE’s Frontier Edition in July of 2009.

You can find my articles, autographs and lanyards, etc. in the Karen Cotton papers collection at the University of Wyoming American Heritage Center, at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum and at the Wyoming State Archives. Soon all of my audio files of thousands of celebrity interviews will be available on my Sweet as Cotton Candy live podcast on Spotify.

According to the official University of Wyoming Football Facebook page UW lost to UNLV after rain and hail postponed the game. But the game eventually took place. The hail could have been an advantage for UW’s football players whom are seasoned to play and practice in colder conditions than UNLV didn’t matter much tonight.

Here’s a courtesy photo of tonight’s game.

An Update from James Mead of the band Kutless about his recent stroke.

Mead said this on his official Facebook page, “I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who has supported me and my family since my stroke on July 26th. Your generosity, kindness, and encouragement have meant the world to us—we truly wouldn’t be where we are without you.

“I’m grateful to share that I’m making steady progress during my recovery. I’m walking better, and I’ve been focusing on new exercises that challenge my coordination and balance. Every day is a step forward in rebuilding endurance and promoting neuroplasticity, and my doctors and physical therapists are very encouraged by how far I’ve come.

We still have a long road ahead to full recovery, but thanks to your support we’re not walking it alone. On behalf of Lindsay, Jacob, and myself…thank you.

With love and gratitude,
James”

The staff at Sweet as Cotton Candy wish James a speedy recovery!
