00:00I had got a ticket for the Renaissance, only one,
00:03queued all day from 11 a.m. to when the show started
00:09and I was just waiting for Beyonce to come out
00:12and I was talking to everybody.
00:14The beehive is so kind and we all just show love
00:17and respect each other, like taking pics,
00:19having fun before the show.
00:21So I turn around and then I see my friend Ashley
00:25and I just was like, whoa, she's so gorgeous
00:27and we just started talking and hit it off from there.
00:30We built a friendship and we just talked every day,
00:34hung out, flew down to see each other
00:36for each other's birthdays and just grew a friendship,
00:39you know, both loving Beyonce and the experience
00:43at the Renaissance was special to us
00:44so that just made us closer.
00:46And we were like, in November, I told her,
00:48I was like, I always wanted to go to Tokyo.
00:51And so we planned it and, you know,
00:53we had no idea Beyonce would be there.
00:56We were just shopping at Louis Vuitton.
00:58We were already dressed, you know,
00:59had our outfits on for the day,
01:01taking pics, shopping, whatever.
01:04And another friend that I met at the LA birthday show,
01:08she texts me a link on Twitter
01:11about Sony doing a meet and greet.
01:14She's like, girl, this is in Tokyo.
01:17And I was like, no way.
01:20And we had saw the signs because days before that,
01:23Beyonce posted a real drinking some Japanese alcohol.
01:27And I was like, that's weird.
01:29I was like, I have a trip coming up to Tokyo.
01:31Anyway, I told my friend, you know what?
01:34I just called the Uber.
01:35It's three miles away.
01:37Literally, Sony was three miles away.
01:39And I was like, girl,
01:41and then I translated the whole Sony article to English
01:45and it said the first 150 fans.
01:47So I knew the time was running out.
01:50So we left instantly.
01:52I was like, we dropped everything we were gonna buy.
01:55And we got there.
01:56She was number 96.
01:58I was 97.
02:00And we had to buy a CD and wait in line.
02:03And there was Beyonce.
02:05We were listening to her new album,
02:06Cowboy Carter in the room with her.
02:09So it was insane.
02:10I walked up to her.
02:12She looked me up and down.
02:13She's like, oh wow, I love your outfit.
02:16And that like blew my mind.
02:18And I was just like, I just want you to know,
02:21coming from a small town, Texas guy,
02:24your music really meant a lot to me growing up
02:26and it still does.
02:27And your impact is so major.
02:30And I was just like, I love you and I admire you.
02:32I could tell she took in my words as I took in hers.
02:36And it was like the most beautiful moment ever.
02:39I feel like music is really important in art.
02:42And when you find someone that you connect with like that,
02:44that you can really look up to
02:46and they help you get through life,
02:48it just, you know, it's really deep and it means a lot.
02:51So I wanted to express that to her
02:54and I could tell she took it in and she was very grateful
02:57and she showed that,
03:00which was, it's always great
03:01when your idol shows you that love back.
