My name is Maddie and I met Justin on May 4th  in Dubai . I’ve been a Belieber since around October 2010 and I have supported and loved him since then. His music is my best friend. In September 2012 the radio announced that he was coming on tour here and I absolutely couldn’t believe it! Since Dubai doesn’t have an arena, they said the concert would be held in the rugby stadium and there would be 3 areas: fan pit, premium, and regular. When the tickets came on sale I bought 2 fan pit tickets, one for me and one for my sister. When we bought the tickets we got an email that said that all fan pit ticket holders had a chance to meet Justin. We thought absolutely nothing of it because there was no other information and because as if we’d ever be so lucky! We were counting down the days to the concert and we were so excited and we were planning ways to find Justin when he came to Dubai so we could meet him. Exactly one month before the concert I received an email from the organizers saying “The draw to win a meet and greet pass for Fan Pit ticket holders is underway.” Later on that day one of the ladies who worked for the organizers called my mum and asked if my sister and I were really big fans. Of course she said “YES” and so the lady told her to make sure we were available to answer the phone the next morning at 7 a.m. because we had a good chance of winning. We woke up at 6:30 the next morning and turned the radio on and waited by the phone. I barely slept the night before, meeting Justin meant so much to me and I wanted to meet him in person more than anything in the world. At around 7:15 a.m. the phone rang. I answered the phone with a shaking hand and in a very shaky voice and answered questions like “Why do you love Justin?” and “What would you say to Justin if you met him?” When they told me that I won 2 meet & greet passes, I was crying hysterically, I had never been so happy!! It was like my world had exploded into confetti. The days dragged on, but May 4th finally arrived. My sister, Bella and myself went to the meeting point. On the way there we got separated but I met DAN KANTER! I think he’s a fabulous, talented guitar player and I respect him so much. It was a quick conversation but he said that he loved Dubai and that he was so excited for the show. It  was time to meet Justin and it still hadn’t sunk in. We were put into a holding room (which was actually a changing room because it was at a rugby stadium) and a man named Ryan told us the rules. He also said that because we were VIPs, we would get singular photos with Justin and some merchandise. I was so happy and shocked, I didn’t know that was going to happen!! Justin ended up being really late although Ryan did say that he was with some Make-A-Wish kids. I was just sitting there being proud. Ryan announced that Justin’s back up dancers wanted to pay us a visit! I ended up meeting Sean and CJ and I saw Aubrey and Carlena. My excitement had peaked and finally Ryan put us into a line. People were in the room one second and literally out of it the next. I didn’t feel ready. I put Justin’s present (a stuffed camel and a long letter) on the table and went inside. Justin looked so perfect but his facial expressions indicated that something was wrong, I knew that something was up. I felt so bad I just wanted to hug him forever. Right before it was my turn to meet him he shouted out “Yo, Twist” and they had a small conversation and fist bumped. Someone signaled that it was my turn to meet him and I walked up to him. Everything I planned on saying flew out the window and all I could think was that’s my saviour, the one person who means everything to me was standing a few centimeters away. His hair was amazing and every feature on his face was so beautiful. I said “Hi, Justin! How are you?” and he just raised his eyebrows and signaled to look at the camera. As the photo shows, his hand was on my waist and mine was on his shoulder but I don’t even remember that happening. When the photo was taken someone said I had to leave. I turned to Justin, looked him right in his beautiful brown eyes and said “I love you, Justin.” I don’t think I had ever meant any words more than those. He smiled at me and winked!! I was completely gone. When I left the room someone handed me a Believe record, a collectable ticket and I started crying like never before. Justin had smiled at me, touched me and he knew I existed. It wasn’t a fairytale meet and greet because Justin seemed really upset and I was so worried about him but I got to tell my best friend, my idol, how much he meant to me. Those were the most precious, meaningful 5 seconds of my life. The concert was amazing! He didn’t sing One Less Lonely Girl or Fall (for reasons I will also never know) but that was okay. My favourites were: Catching Feelings, Die In Your Arms and Be Alright. All I could think of was why I loved Justin and how much him and his music have done for me. It was like he was singing into my soul and I can’t explain the feeling, the whole concert was BEAUTIFUL. Justin is insanely talented and his vocals are flawless. I had never felt so amazing as when Justin and my eyes were locked and he smiled at me. Justin knows I love him now, and that’s something I never thought he would know. I can’t believe that my dreams came true, and I promise that if you never give up yours will too. Justin means the world to me, and he always always will. -Maddie (@DubaiSwaggie) Go here to read the rest: My name is Maddie and I met Justin on May 4th in Dubai. I’ve…
