Ashley McBryde reveals starstruck moment with Reba McEntire

Ashley McBryde has shared her most starstruck moment.

Speaking with PEOPLE magazine, Ashley revealed her most starstruck moment was with Reba McEntire at the 2019 Academy of Country Music Awards.

Ashley recalled, “She snuck in when I was doing a radio interview, and she got right next to my face and said into the microphone, ‘Hi, Ashley McBryde, this is Reba McEntire, and I’m your biggest fan.’”

“I just literally honked like a goose at her,” Ashley added.

Additionally, the songstress also shared that she avoided Emmylou Harris for years due to fear that she would do something “stupid” in front of her.

She said, “If we were in the same building, I would walk the opposite direction from her, because I knew I would do something stupid.”

However, Ashley finally met Emmylou when she played a benefit in NYC with her last year.

She said, “I was like, ‘I can’t talk to her. I can’t talk to her,’ and [Harris] just walks over to me and goes, ‘Hey, come in my dressing room. I wanted to talk to you.’”

“I was like, well, here it goes. I’m going to say something stupid. But I got to have a nice conversation with Emmylou Harris. I surprised myself,” Ashley added.

It is worth mentioning that Ashley also revealed other instances of saying “stupid” things to celebs she admires.

“I’ve said stupid things to Patty Loveless. I’ve said stupid things to Morgan Stapleton. I almost said stupid things to [World Champion roper] Jackie Crawford,” Ashley stated.
