It has taken several years but Delilah DiCrescenzo is finally giving Plain White T’s singer Tom Higgenson a date.  DiCrescenzo is the inspiration behind the band’s fictional song ‘Hey There Delilah’.  DiCrescenzo will attend this years Grammy Awards with Tommy Boy.

Delilah DiCrescenzo, 24, the Olympic track hopeful who inspired song-of-the-year nominee Hey There Delilah, will accompany Higgenson, 28, to the Grammys.

The two met through a mutual friend. Higgenson wrote Delilah to impress his new crush, but she wasn’t interested, and the long-distance romance depicted in the song is fiction. The single went to No. 1 in Billboard last summer. It’s up for best pop performance by a duo/group and song of the year.

Now she comes off sounding like a bit of a gold digger.  She didn’t give him a date for years and still didn’t even when the band made the radio charts, but now she will give the poor guy a date because they are nominated for a Grammy Award.
