The 18-years-old crazy fan Nico told Buzzfeed:
“Well since rumors of ‘Shallow’possibly going number one on Billboard started I knew I had to do something to help her out with sales and streams but I didn’t know just what to do at first. Then one day when I was going home from school I passed by a Starbucks and got the idea last minute."
