Though Gabby Barrett is now a country music superstar, she still gets starstruck. 

Looking back on when she started her career as a contestant on American Idol, the “I Hope” singer admits her most embarrassing fangirl moment was when she met Carrie Underwood when she served as a mentor during the 16th season. 

“I met her and was so excited that I cried,” Gabby recalls

As for who she’d want to portray her in a movie about her life, Gabby selects fellow country queen Dolly Parton. But despite being a country fan, the Pennsylvania native’s first concert was pop supergroup One Direction.
