TikTok star Shay finally met her idol Ariana Grande after the celebrity realized how much of a fan she was.
TikToker Shay, who is also a huge fan of Wicked star Ariana Grande, previously went viral when she wore a ‘Thank U, Next’ shirt in a TikTok video.
Having seen the clip and many more on Shay and her Aunt D’s TikTok page ‘Mental Health World,’ Grande responded by giving her a shoutout.
“Hi Shay, I love you so much! I sent you something, you should be getting it. It should be coming to you, I hope you got it!” Grande said after an interview host asked her about the super-fan.
Shay’s Aunt D then posted a video of her niece’s reaction to their TikTok. As Shay cried, she repeatedly said, “I love her so much.” Adding, “That’s what I’m talking about, that’s her!”
Grande didn’t stop at her online shoutout and gift, though. After realizing Shay’s content is primarily about her, the multi-talented artist invited Shay and her aunt to meet her in person.
