My name is Lizzie, and I can officially say I met my idol Justin Bieber on July 18 th 2013 at the XL Center in Hartford, CT. I got the tickets in December 2012 and I’ve been waiting for the day for such a long time. During the VIP party, Fredo, Ryan Butler, Kenny, Za, his drums player, Tay James, and a bunch of dancers walked through the room. Kenny came to talk to us to thank us for being here, and I also got a picture with with some crew members. After about an hour and a half, it was time to meet Justin. He was pretty late, but he was with Make-A-Wish kids so I was glad he was spending so much time with them. I walked slowly into the room through the curtain and tried to take in all his features at once. The first thing I saw was his gold chain he was wearing and then I saw all the tattoos, but other than that, I can’t remember much. I was so starstruck, I barley noticed Fredo in the room with us! I said something like, “Hey, oh my god, I love you so much.” Justin said “Hey” back in this really low raspy voice and then he said “I love you too,” really softly. It was so unreal. Right after the picture was taken, security pushed me from behind and as I was moving my hand down from his side. He rubbed my side a little before I left too. I walked out of there like I was floating, but right outside the curtain was Justin’s friend Lil Za. I was so starstruck, even with him! I started just talking about how awesome he is and at one point I said he was my favorite and I told him I loved him so much. I asked for a high five and he gave me one! My mom (who was behind me in line) told me that as soon as I walked away from Za, he was beaming with happiness. As we went to our seats, I saw Dan on the way there! Dan walked through the arena earlier and everyone bombarded him, but this time it was just him and I. I said hey and asked for a hug and he gave me one. I was in Section 1, Row C, Seats 13 and 14, two seats away from the catwalk! During the show, my friend Natalie (@hessourkidrauhl) who I met there and I went up against the barricade for the catwalk. After the show was over, Dan came down the catwalk and since I was now in like row 1, he handed me the only setlist for the show, signed by him! Everyone behind me got some of his guitar picks. We thanked him and left, but later that night, I thanked him again on Twitter and attached the picture of the setlist, and he followed me! During the show, it seemed like all my problems went away and I was the happiest I have ever been. I was having the time of my life. I touched almost all the dancers’ hands, and I made eye contact with Justin at least twice. During ‘Believe’ everyone in the arena held up signs saying: “Always Our Kidrauhl” and once Justin walked away from the piano, he looked down and read the sign Natalie and I were sharing, and smiled! It was really cute. As ‘Baby’ was finishing and Justin was going down into the stage, he looked right into my eyes and smiled a true, genuine smile, I’m pretty sure he winked too (but that could just be my imagination). The concert was the best night of my life and I can’t thank Justin and everyone on the crew enough for it! -@ontarioloving Original post: My name is Lizzie, and I can officially say I met my idol Justin…
