The first song of Whitney Duncan’s I ever heard was her cover of ‘The First Cut Is The Deepest’ from Nashville Star, and I’ve been a fan ever since. Living in the UK, I could only get her first album, ‘Whitney Duncan’ on UK iTunes and had to wait a while until I could get ‘Right Road Now’. I fell in love with both albums and hoped one day that I would get to meet her and tell her how much I loved them. Being from the UK, though, I didn’t think there was any chance of that. Even when I had decided to go to Nashville for CMA Music Fest I didn’t think I’d get to meet her because I had no idea she would be signing anywhere… little did I know I would actually meet her 3 times while I was there

The first time I met Whitney was at the City of Hope softball game. I told everyone to let me know when she was heading our way so I could say hi to her, and when she did head our way my friend and I got her attention, and I told her I’d come from the UK to see her. Then I made my way down to the front and took my picture with her and she signed my program I was ecstatic for the rest of the evening because I couldn’t believe I met her. Then when I got back to the hotel, I tweeted her and thanked her for taking a picture with me at the game, and she tweeted back saying: ‘I freaking love your accent’. I just about died. lol.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better than that… I meet her for the second time My friend and I were just walking around the convention center, when she pulled me into this line and shouted ‘look, Brit, it’s Whitney Duncan!’ I couldn’t believe I was gonna meet her again… but properly this time. I was so nervous while I was in line, I was even shaking a little. When I went up to meet her she gave me a big hug (which made my whole trip, I think). When she went to sign a picture for me she asked what my name was and I said ‘Amber’ (in my British accent), she paused for a moment and said ‘how do you spell that?’ Luckily I had a bracelet with my name on it, so I showed her and she said ‘Oh, AMBER! Sorry, it’s because of your accent. Haha!’ The whole thing was a little embarrassing because I was SO star struck. I’ve met famous people before and I’ve never acted like that, but I was so excited to meet her because I love her so much

The third time I met her was a few hours later at the fan party. I didn’t realise she was doing a meet & greet after the set, which, by the way, was AMAZING! This was the first time I’ve heard her sing live, and she was incredible! After seeing that, I personally think she should do an acoustic album lol. I was even happier because she sang ‘Burn It Down’, which is my favourite song of hers Anyway, after the performance, I got in line again so I could redeem myself for being such a goof earlier at the convention center, and also get the picture signed that I bought just in case I met her while I was in Nashville. I went up to her and she gave me another hug, and she remembered me from earlier I apologised for how I acted during the meet & greet at the convention center, and she was so sweet about it and told me not to apologise. She signed my picture, and before she could ask for my name, I just showed her my bracelet. lol. Cutest thing ever when she said my name in a British accent! Haha!

I’ve tweeted her a few times, and she’s called me her ‘fave Brit’ a couple of times, which I love! Haha! I take pride in my new title lol.

I met a lot of artists while in Nashville, but I can honestly say that meeting Whitney was the highlight (or were the highlights – lol) of my trip, and she is the sweetest, most sincere celebrity I have ever met. Can’t wait to go to CMA Fest 2011 and hopefully see her again… but this time at the LP Field

Whitney Duncan held a party for her fans at Buffalo Billiards during CMA Fest in Nashville. There was a large line of fans that have been waiting at the front door of the venue way before the doors were to open.

During the party, the fans were served with a variety of “Skinny Dippin’ Dots” ice cream and beverages. Whitney played an acoustic set of her fans favorite songs, such as “Little by Little”, “Kinda Crazy”, “Skinny Dippin”, “Right Road Now”, “Burn it Down”, “When I Said I Would”, and “So Sorry Mama”. In between songs Whitney answered any questions that fans asked, and even had a special guest, her dog, Duchess!

The fan party had a limited number of 150 guests. However, Whitney wanted all of her fans to be able attend, so we went over the guest limit a little. Due to Whitney’s huge appreciation this caused the event to go over the scheduled time by close to an hour because she wanted to sign, and get pictures made with every person that attended.

Here is what Ms Whitney had to say about her first fan party:

“I was amazed and excited to see how many fans came to my first fan club party! It was a blast and the very least I could do for the people that support my music and career. I hope everyone enjoyed the Dippin’ Dots! I didn’t even get any *laughs*, It really was an event I will always remember!”

On a side note, Whitney and the 4 girls, Jenna, Lisa, Alyssa, and Brittney (twitter- @whitduncanfans and fan website,

Whitney is in the new Country Weekly magazine (with Dierks Bently on the cover) right next to Ms Julianne Hough!

“Whitney Duncan follows the metallic rule with spectacular shoes that add just the right amount of flair to her look.”

Seems as if Whit has been in Country Weekly pretty often lately! Love it!

This picture of Whitney was drawn by one of her fans,  Amber “AJ” Richmond from Essex, UK.

This is a picture of Whitney at the 2010 ACM Awards that was held in Las Vegas.

Amber was also able to meet Whitney during CMA Fest 2010.

Hey y’all! So, I’m guessing this is the magazine Whitney was talkin’ about!
