A Pasco County teen is going viral for her video asking singer Shawn Mendes to the prom.
"It was just something I did with my friends first, but I hoped he would see it," said Anastasia. "It's crazy that so many people have seen it now."
Victoria Anastasia is 17 years old but has big aspirations for her prom date.
"He's my inspiration and really into music. I want to be a musician just like him when I grow up... and he's also the cutest guy ever!," said Anastasia.
The video has been viewed more than 13,000 times in less than 24 hours, and the Mitchell High School student hopes her video will be enough to get the singer to her school.
"My mom didn't think it was a good idea at first, because she didn't think he would notice.
The song is a parody on Mendes' "Stitches."
