Sophomore Kayli Myracle is an expert on meeting celebrities. To name a few: Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Bruno Mars, Nick Jonas, Ariana Grande, Iyaz, Sean Kingston, Mario Lopez, Perez Hilton, Demi Lovato, Jasmine Villegas, Cody Simpson and plenty more.
She’s definitely not a stalker. Most of the celebrities she met at concerts, movie premieres and other different events. Kayli has been to L.A. three times, and during those times she took some chances and got lucky.
“I met a few just by running into them at random places in L.A.,” she said. “Nothing planned, just random encounters.”
Talk about being in the right place at the right time.
Kayli’s favorite celebrities she met were Jasmine Villegas and Ariana Grande “because they’re both so down to earth and such sweethearts.”
The first celebrity she met though was the teen idol Justin Bieber.
“I also loved meeting Justin Bieber because he was really sweet and funny,” she said.
Kayli enjoys singing and acting and aspires to be like them one day.
“I look up to a lot of them,” she said. “It’s such a high for me to see what they’re like in person and how they treat people around them.”
She has already made her “debut” in the Justin Bieber Movie, “Never Say Never.” One of Kayli’s close friends owns a popular Bieber fan site. Paramount contacted her, asked her to find a few girls who would be good that they could email, and Kayli was one of them.
“Paramount Pictures contacted me,” she said. “I signed the legal waivers and recorded my part to the audio clip that they sent to me, and sent in my video.”
Upon meeting these celebrities, she realized that some weren’t who she thought they were.
“A few were really rude, and I don’t support them anymore,” she said. “My thoughts have completely changed for a few celebrities because of how they treated me and my friends or my sister who was with me.”
Other encounters that were more pleasant helped her realize first hand that celebrities are every day people just world renowned.
“I learned that they’re normal,” she said. “I know that sounds dumb, because of course they’re normal, but some can get really materialistic and act like a diva and act like they’re better, but most don’t. It’s nice to know that you’re supporting someone who deserves it.”
