Although the city of Nashville continues to grow in size day by day, the country music community remains tight-knit throughout the changes.

Lauren Alaina and Blake Shelton both paved their own paths to wind up in Music City, but Alaina will never forget back before the fame when she fangirled over meeting Shelton for the first time. Remembering the moment just in time for Throwback Thursday, Alaina shared the memory via her Instagram from when she was a kid introducing herself to one of her heroes in the industry.

“Hey @blakeshelton! How about this for a #throwbackthursday,” Alaina asked jokingly in her caption of the photo from 2007.

In the picture, Alaina looks to be cheesing it hard next to Shelton as they embraced each other by the side. As a little girl, Alaina only measures up to the Oklahoma native so much as he towers over her small frame in the photo.

Ever since that lifechanging greeting, Alaina worked long and hard to land in the same position Shelton was in back then. Getting to meet her own fans now that she made her name in Nashville, Alaina can relate to them and their excitement just because she used to do the same over her idols.

Lauren Alaina will head out on the road with Jason Aldean for the High Noon Neon Tour this summer. Luke Combs has plans to open up alongside Alaina when the run starts this May. More details can be found on Alaina’s website.
