Tara Horan has a lot to be excited about. She recently discovered
that she is pregnant with her first child, but said it has been
torturous to keep the news a secret, especially from her mother.
She
wanted to make the birth announcement in a creative way, and then it
hit her – what if she could have her No. 1 idol make the announcement
for her?
Horan has been a huge Beatles fan since she was a little
girl. She credits her mother with introducing her to the music that
would go on to have a profound impact on her life throughout her teen
years and into adulthood. She even has a tattoo of the Fab Four on her
arm.When
Horan talks about all the McCartney concerts that she and her mother
have been to – and they’ve been to many -- she gets a little teary-eyed
and her passion for the music is apparent.
For Horan, this
wasn’t just a music fan meeting her favorite musician, it was truly a
dream come true -- getting to share the most exciting news of her entire
life with the help of her favorite Beatle.
Horan knew she would need a little help from her mom if
she was going to pull it off. So, right before the concert she was
finally able to tell her mother the happy news. Her mother was
immediately on board with her daughter's announcement plan, so the two
took to making a sign in their hotel room. The sign read “Paul, will you
take a pregnancy announcement picture with me?” They headed out to the
show, fingers crossed, hoping for a bit more luck in what already felt
like such a special occasion.
Horan said she was flabbergasted
when the sign worked. Sir Paul motioned for the nervous mom-to-be to
come up on stage with him, and after joking around about the sign he
asked, “Is this true?”
“Yes, I just told my mom today!” Tara can be heard exclaiming on the video while dancing and waving her arms in the air.
“Hey everybody, she’s preggers!” Paul said excitedly to the crowd of thousands.
Horan
said she still can’t believe it really happened and that she looks
forward to sharing the story with her child one day. If her experiences
are any reflection of the Beatles lyrics that have been the soundtrack
of her life, one could definitely say that she gets by with a little
help from her friends, and maybe this time, a little bit of luck, a big
announcement, a Beatle, her mother's support and a cardboard sign sure
helped out as well.
