VH1 held an online contest to stage a Taylor Swift concert at whatever school in the US that got the most votes.
What was unusual about the Horace Mann School in Boston that got 49,000 votes before being disqualified?
As you might expect, internet trolls had something to do with it.
The first new player to comment on the website with the correct answer wins a free drink at their next iQ Trivia show.
The school was for the deaf.
I read about this on April Fools Day. It was described as one of the great pranks. (Being deaf would certainly help survive a Taylor Swift Concert.)

Brilliant! I think these were the same pranksters who named the British Antarctic vessel “Boaty McBoatface”
That’s right. They did wind up donating $10,000 to the school’s music department though.
