Meanwhile, town officials see dollar signs and start renaming everything from Main Street to the local taco joint in her honor, hoping for some star-studded donations. What follows is a hilarious spiral of miscommunication, small-town chaos, and fan-fueled delusion-with an epic twist ending that proves it really is “a Love Story” after all!
