 Meeting our idols, it’s on a bucket list somewhere…what if you got to MEET a celebrity that you had a crush on when you were a kid?  How would you handle it? Dustin Lynch recalls the first time he met HIS childhood crush Reba McEntire “First time meeting Reba, see saw me I didn’t actually see her.   She was rehearsing for an award show and I hear Reba McEntire’s voice screaming my name.  She comes running down from the catwalk and the stage and bends down and gives me a hug in the middle of her soundcheck. If I wasn’t in love enough…that was just awesome”
