“To be awarded an award from the First Lady was one of the most exciting things, I was so honored and I’ve always been such a huge fan of hers,” she said of Mrs. Obama, who honored Taylor with The Big Help Award for her charity work.
“I’ve been really terrified to meet her because I’m such a fan,” she continued. “I never went to the White House. I never like got a chance to meet her and so to get to meet her on a night like tonight, where she’s giving me an award for something; it was just over-the-top amazing. I’m so thankful.”
