No, you read the title correctly. Celebrities. I thought I would make a post of celebrities I have seen. I never would have thought that I would need a list to keep up with this kind of thing. Never thought I would see a celebrity. But I have. Even talked to one!
Kenny Rogers
My aunt was apparently a huge fan of Kenny Rogers in her teens and my family met in one year in Gatlinburg. I was probably not even 10 years old. According to my mom, I said "Hey, it's Kenny Woaaahdguurs!" He said "How cute. I'm Kenny Wodgers!"
Taylor Swift
In 2008, I saw Taylor Swift in concert on her Fearless tour. That was my first concert and it was awesome. I went with my two best friends and we sat in the balcony pretty close to the stage. We could see her very well actually. Standing on the stage, we were sitting toward the left.
LMFAO and Ke$ha
In June 2011, I was given tickets to a Ke$ha concert for my birthday. The opening act was LMFAO before they got really popular later that year. At that point, I didn't know who they were but they did put on quite a show. So did Ke$ha, for that matter. I was standing on the floor behind the most pit area right next to the stage, so I couldn't see that well.
Kevin Bacon
FOX's new show The Following starring Kevin Bacon filmed scenes for the premiere at Berry in the fall semester of 2012. He waved at me!
Phillip Phillips
In April 2013, Phillip Phillips stopped at Berry on his college tour. Each student was given one free ticket and allowed to buy one guest ticket. His opening act was a girl named Gin Wigmore, who looked and sounded like the girl from The Band Perry. When Phillip came on stage, he said "I'm BERRY happy to be here!" He played several of his songs and covered and Eminem song. He played a couple new songs that he's written. He also made a comment about how much he liked our campus and said "Who has eagles on their campus?!" I actually almost met him, but he went back on stage for an encore. We left and walked near the back of the stage as he was coming off stage.
John Maxwell
I met him (sorta but not really--we were in a really long line) in September 2013 at a leadership business conference. I bought his book (15 laws of leader I think) and he signed it.
Terri Savelle Foy
I met her in September 2013 at the same leadership business conference. I bought her book (about making dreams bigger than your memories I think) and she signed it. We actually talked to her!
