Last week, Lauren Alaina finally met one of her biggest fans named Ryan, a TikToker with autism who boasts 3.2 million followers on the app. Ryan’s account, called “tacobellqween,” is run by his sister Brittany and features funny moments between the siblings and wise words from Ryan. In a video posted in December, Ryan mentioned that he would love to have dinner with Lauren Alaina, and after seeing the video herself, Alaina had a Zoom dinner date with Ryan and Brittany. The country singer told People the Zoom meeting was “as rewarding for me as it was to him,” but despite enjoying a virtual dinner with Alaina, Ryan still had dreams of meeting his favorite star in person.

Ryan’s sister Brittany made that dream come true when they traveled to Nashville to attend a promotional event for Alaina’s upcoming album, Sitting Pretty On Top Of The World, on October 25. Brittany recorded their travels and shared a “Nashville travel blog” to TikTok, featuring moments from the trip. She also shared a separate video of the special moment that Ryan finally met Alaina.
Alaina also shared a video of herself and Ryan smiling for photos at the event, with the caption, “Had some new friends come celebrate my new album.”
In a “Nashville recap” video, Ryan talked more about meeting his favorite country singer, saying it was “really fun,” and stating that he was also excited to meet Jason Aldean at the event.
