NEW YORK—Doing everything within her power to ensure the big day would be absolutely perfect, pop superstar Taylor Swift paid off a bride who had booked the maid of honor she wanted, sources confirmed Friday. “I just really had my heart set on Lindsey,” said the multiplatinum recording artist who reportedly made a cash offer of $25,000 to convince the local bride to give up her best friend and sorority sister on Swift’s chosen wedding date. “I’m not trying to pressure you into anything, and ultimately the choice is yours. But if you do choose to accept, then I hope this can pay for a great honeymoon for you and a serviceable replacement maid of honor. Travis and I just think Lindsey would be ideal for a summer wedding in Newport. She’ll look beautiful in the pictures, especially with the flowers I have planned.” At press time, Swift had reportedly offered to lend the bride Sophie Turner.
