Top Celebrity Guest Predictions for Taylor Swift's Utah Show

I would think by this point that everyone attending Taylor Swift's 1989 World Tour has compiled a wish list of guest stars they'd like to see perform live with her. Obviously I've done this, and let me be not sarcastic that Sting and JT are more or less my entire list (with Tupac and Frank Sinatra rounding out the "cyrogenically-frozen-but-great-time-for-a-comeback" category).

But I've been thinking. 

There aren't very many celebs in our beloved beehive state. Sure, Nick Lachey had Cafe Rio that one time. And Kimye either likes to ski here or skis in-studio somewhere in Calabasas that looks exactly like Park City to throw everybody off their trail.

I can think of plenty of people who would try to get Taylor in their doTERRA down-line while she's here but I can't think who, if anyone, would be a surprise guest at Taylor's Salt Lake show. 

Until now! 

Here are what I can only assume will be Taylor's Salt Lake City special guests based on basic Utah knowledge...

9. Bachelorette Alum: Jef (with one f)
I think they'd be buddies because Swift also has one f.



8. Christmas Composer & Maestro: Kurt Bestor
Give the people what they want! (Hint: It's a Prayer of the Children duet!)




7. Beloved Candy Bomber: Gail Halvorsen
But srsly, candy parachutes falling from the ESA rafters? Genius.




6. Waffle Love Truck
For when Mr. Halvorsen runs out of candy...





5. Jimmer Fredette
He's a Spur now so Tay can probably just announce him a future 5-time NBA champion...




4. Sundance Kid: Robert Redford (with special guests: Mormon Tabernacle Choir)
Can't you picture him belting Out of the Woods with some sweet shots of Sundance zooming by on the big screen? Or maybe a little Battle Hymn of the Republic with the choir?




3. Dancing With the Houghs Stars: Julianne and Derek Hough
So they can dance to her beat forevermore.




2. Former Presidential Nominee: Mitt Romney
Is it just me or is this one an actual possibility? Does he tickle the ivories? Hope so.




1. Jazz's Bear and Mascot Hall of Famer: Jazz Bear
He looks more suggestive here than I'd like but I work with what I have. Can't you see him playing pranks on all her dancers? Hilarity ensues! But I wonder if he gets along with Jimmer. (He knows what he did!)




Basically I can't wait to see if there is anyone cool enough to visit our great state or if she'll pull from local talent. 8 days! See you there, Utahns.
