as soon as I get to my seat Emily from NBC goes “you’ve already met her before right? I was telling shanias team that you’re the winner earlier and they already knew you” and I was like oh my god???
so I walk out to wait for Shania’s press to be done and someone on Shania’s management (I know her name I just don’t want to butcher it)came over and was like “dani????” and I was like “hi I’m Danielle” and she goes “but you go by dani right?” ONLY VERY FEW KNOW I GO BY DANI BTW
so she’s like “I just want you to know that we on her team appreciate everything you and lex do for her and us. the tour account, everything, we keep up with it with her all the time and we truly appreciate it. I can’t believe you won this, this is truly good karma.”
and I’m like oh mygod thank you so much??? and she was just thanking me and asking me general questions and stuff. so then she goes “oh yeah, by the way, Shania will get the book but she hasn’t read it yet. its currently with security and will be sent to her house in Switzerland”
so then I’m like okay! that’s understandable, thank you for letting me know!!! and then Emily’s like ok youre next shanias ready
so I walk into the carpet and she eyes me down and her eyes got big and BEFORE EMILY EVEN HAD THE CHANCE TO INTRODUCE ME SHE LITERALLY LIKE HOPPED OVER TO ME and Emily was like “this is Danielle she met you....” and shania goes “oh my GOSH I KNOW!!! YES!! ITS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU -
AGAIN!! and I’m like it’s so good to see you too!!! and she like “YOU LOOK LOVELY!” and I was like you look beautiful! and she asked how I’ve been and I said I’ve been good how have you been and she was like “I’ve been GREAT!”
and then we took solo pics together, and then after a few pics I looked at my dad and I said “this is my dad!” and she goes “YOURE DAD!!!!” and went over and hugged him - oh yeah I forgot to mention we literally squeezed each other twice before the picture I was like holy fuck
so my dad gets in the frame, and we’re all taking pictures together. and I said “my best friend lex was supposed to be here today but she unfortunately couldn’t make it” and she was like “oh no, tell her I said hello!”
and then she looked at me and held my hand and looked me in the eyes and was like “it’s really so good to see you again, I really hope we get to see each other again soon” and I was like it’s so good to see you I hope so too!
and she hugged my dad again and left her arms on his shoulders and looks at me and goes “take care of her for me, okay?” and laughed AND I LOVE MY LITERAL MOM?
and then I hugged her AGAIN and said bye good to see you and she said “bye sweetheart!” and then left
and now I’m sad because I miss her but I’m still here at taping but I’m truly so thankful and grateful. I can’t wait til lex and I get to experience this together one day. I love Shania, her team, nbc, everything I’m just on cloud 9.
but I still can’t believe she was literally so happy and bubbly and enthusiastic and I got like 10+ pics w her I’m pretty sure, the guy was showing them to me afterwards and I CANT WAIT TO GET THEM
