Well... I'm meeting Trisha tomorrow! She is doing an interview with KKNG in OKC and I was invited to be a guest and watch. They're going to let me talk to her briefly. I can't wait!!! I have been bringing cookies to school on her birthday for 6 years (seriously), and have continued to do so through college. I actually live in Owasso within about 5 miles of her, but I never see her! I've been living there longer than she has. All of my friends report to me on their "Trisha & Garth sightings", but I've never been one of the lucky ones. God willing, I will finally meet her tomorrow. I'll be leaving my sorority house a few hours earlier than necessary! I'll report back to you all.

Thank you, KKNG!!!

WOW for you!!! you will have so much fun I am sure we all look forward to hearing your report.

AWESOME!! I glad you finally get to get her! Such a dedicated fan deserves to!
BTW, what time is the interview so we all can listen?

I was asked to be at the station at 1:30, so probably listen between 2 and 3. They stream live online. Go to kkng.com

OK Just kidding- you can listen live between 5 and 6 on kkng.com ... forget the whole 2:00 thing.

The meeting was amazing! Trisha is so beautiful. First, she introduced herself to everyone at the table, then she made a second trip around to sign autographs and take pictures. I was the last one at the table, and I was so excited for her to come my way. I was elated. By the time she got to me, I started crying. It was ridiculous- I didn't see it coming. I felt bad for her because that had to be awkward, but she was so understanding. She gave me big hugs and was so down-to-earth and sweet. Then we all went into the recording room to record the interview. All of the guests asked her a question, and those will be aired at 5pm. She was so cute and funny. When the interview was over, she shook hands again. I have to brag a little bit- I got a hug. Then we all left with our wonderful autographs and pictures.

I heart Trisha!

Thanks again, KKNG!!!

Congrats Kelsey! Sounds awesome! Trisha is just so down to earth and friendly when you meet her, and we all love her for it. I hope I can meet her again sometime soon. The first time, I was a nervous wreck, and the second was just so cool - we just chatted for several minutes like old friends - Hands down the best meet and greet experience I have ever had! Glad you had such a great time!

Wow, Kelsey!

Your question was a real winner. Trisha will remember you forever. She was so ready with an answer that she must have appreciated your asking.

I didn't get to hear the interview. What was your question? And what was her answer?

I am really glad you got to meet Trisha. She is amazing!

Thank you, Jasper!

Trixie, I asked about her move to Big Machine from MCA. With MCA releasing new compilations of older material, I wanted to know if this was good promotion for her new material with Big Machine or if MCA was kind of taking advantage of her if you know what I mean... She said anything with her name on it is good for her in some way, but she doesn't really reap the benefits. She always wants to be in control of the production process, even down to the liner notes. She didn't get to do any of that since she's not with MCA anymore. She says buy the new CDs if you want to, but she wants everyone to know that she was not involved in any way. In case I didn't make it clear, Trisha didn't sound like she was happy with what MCA was doing to her, but she was very classy in her response. Always a lady.

OK, I hope I am doing this post right, if not, I am sorry ) I am so glad you got to meet her and she was everything you dreamed of. I just got an email that I will have a Meet & Greet next month the 16th, I got the email and cried for about 15 minutes, I was soooo excited. I am glad to hear that some of you were a wreck and cried because I know I am going to do that also so it makes me feel so much better. I even framed my congrats letter. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Hey Angi! Yeah, it's probably going to be like the best day of your life. Get ready.

Congrats on finally getting to meet Trisha! It's so wonderful when a dream like this comes true.

First of all, I'm glad that you were able to meet Trisha.

And yes, she is a very classy lady. But I can also understand why she's not happy with her former label; and I have the feeling it's the same sad story that's been around for a couple of decades now: Ageism--forcing older artists off the big labels to make way for the "young'uns." Not that Trisha is that old, at 43; but it seems that the mentality of the big labels now is that, unless they continue as megastars, artists over the age of 40, like Trisha, are basically obsolete. That's a very painful thing to say (and I don't mean this to be insulting by any means, nor do I believe that mentality for a minute), but that's often the way they seem to feel.

Kelsey: Sounded like a wonderful time to me. I probably would have fainted before she got to me, especially if I was at the end. I just went to a concert and was so nervous until Trisha started to sing. Then, it was wonderful from then on out.

I'm so happy you got to go. That was a special experience for you.

Take care,
Jane

Congratulations, KelseyLee, in getting to meet Trisha...as yet I haven't had that pleasure. But I'm happy for those who have.

Congratulations KelseyLee on getting to meet our Trisha!! Trisha is a very amazing singer and individual and I'm glad you had the awesome experience that will last you forever (or until next time).

I totally agree Erik, which is really a shame!!! It is because of the ages of 40+ singers that laid the foundation for country music. With the younger artist's music, it is not classified to me, in my opinion, as country music. Yes, I may be over 40, but I guess i'm looking for the traditional Country and Western type music and today's younger artists have a whole new style of country that is different from even 15 + years ago. But then again, calling the Eagles country........ well, nevermind.

Congradulations on getting to meet Trisha for the first time.I met Trisha for the first time In 1993 and I was so star struck that I couldn't even talk to her to tell her how much I really loved her and my mama had to tell Trisha my name for her to sign so my mama finally had to tell Trisha my name so that she could sign my stuff.As Trisha was signing my stuff my mama said she really loves you.So I got to meet Trisha again In 1996,2005,2006 and luckily to say I was actually able to talk to her.In 2005 I was lucky enough to tell her my story about how I had Cerebral Palsy and how kids made fun of me when I was In elementary school and how much Standing Out In A Crowd meant to me because of that reason.It was so cool.The last thing In 1996 I went to my first Trisha Yearwood Fan Club party and they gave away like 5 different door prizes and one of them was a Trisha Yearwood tour jacket and there were 350 people at this breakfast and out of 350 they drew 5 numbers for the tour jackets and my number was the third one to be drawn.So of course I was surprised.My mama tapped me on the shoulder to make sure I heard my number and then I was gone.I ran up there so fast to get my jacket that everybody at the party came up to congradulate me as we were walking out the door.Right after I won my jacket I got to meet Trisha's Mom Gwen and I was still so excited from winning my tour jacket that I couldn't even talk to her.Winning that tour jacket Is something I'll never forget.I still have It and I've taken very good care of It.
Love,
Danielle
