Lauren Alaina recently got to share a virtual dinner with a very special fan. The singer enjoyed a virtual meal with Ryan, a TikToker living with autism, who back in December was asked by his sister on TikTok which star he’d like to have dinner with.
"I would say country music star Miss Lauren Alaina," he said. "She's a Christian. She's a great singer... Plus she's super nice and she's also super sweet."
Well, Lauren got to see the clip and after some back and forth, Lauren asked him via the social media site if he’d like to have dinner with her and it finally went down last week, with both enjoying a sushi meal.
"I just really appreciated his reasoning behind loving me. It was so pure. He likes my music, and he's telling me the songs he likes, and that was really amazing too," Lauren tells “People.” "With having autism, he is so honest, and he just says what he thinks. And for that to be his true perception of me, is just the highest compliment, because I know he genuinely means it."
She adds of the dinner, “It was as rewarding to me as it was to him.”
- Following their hour-long Zoom dinner Lauren says she hopes to see Ryan in person the next time she tours and have him on her bus. "He's very excited about that,” she shares. "And this is a real friendship now. We're buds,” adding, “And also Ryan likes to sing, so I told him if he wanted to, he could get up on stage and sing with me."
