Saturday Spotlight With Jocelyn B: My Question And Answer Session With Genuine, Loyal Dan + Shay Fan And Her Family

Here is my seventh Saturday Spotlight that I did via e-mail with my longtime Dan + Shay friend, Jocelyn B from Denver, Colorado. Jocelyn, her husband Brian, and daughter Mackenzie are very loyal, passionate fans of the duo. When I became a fan in 2014, I started following her on Twitter (now X) and I always enjoyed reading, liking, and replying to her tweets. Whether she was rallying support for the duo to help them get their next number one song at country radio or posting pictures and videos of her family at a Dan + Shay concert, I have always appreciated that her family's love for the guys is genuine and real! Now we follow one another on Instagram and our friendship has remained the same!

Mackenzie is now in high school, but I remember seeing pictures and watching videos of her ten years ago when she was in grade school! She was such a cute little girl and has blossomed into such a beautiful young lady from what I have seen in pictures on social media over the last couple of years.

In this seventh session, you will learn about Jocelyn's family's favorite Dan + Shay albums, a few interactions her family has had on social media with the duo over the years, what they would ask the duo if given the opportunity to have dinner with them, what they about their unconventional music videos, and so much more! 

She also included an awesome video and a few pictures at the bottom of this post!

Please enjoy reading my seventh Dan + Shay Fan Spotlight with Jocelyn B below!

Stacy (S): When did you become a fan of Dan + Shay? Was it in the beginning or later on in their careers? What was the first song of theirs that you heard on the radio? What was your first impression of hearing them on the radio and then getting to know them through social media? 

Jocelyn B (JB) We became fans from their very first single "19 You + Me"! This was also the first song of theirs we ever heard on the radio. They have always been so good to their fans across social media and that started from the start and continues through today! They are the best to their fans!

(S): How many times have you and your family seen the duo in concert? What is your favorite venue that you have seen them play at? Tell me details about a few of their concerts that stand out to you. 

(JB): We have seen them at least 12 times. We loved every show where they had a meet and greet because we got to have a chance to say hello, catch up, and hear some songs acoustically! 

(S): How many times have you and your family had the opportunity to meet Dan + Shay? What was the first meet + greet like? Did anything they say stick out to you that you still remember today? Tell me about a few of your other meet + greets with the guys that were special. 
(JB): We have met the guys nine times at least and each one was special! We have made so many memories from sharing stories, previous memories, and new music! 

(S): Dan + Shay have a few unconventional music videos that don't follow the actual storyline of the song like "Tequila", "How Not To", and "Steal My Love". They used a completely different storyline from what the song is actually about. Please describe what you think about each of these videos and if you like the guys going outside of the box when it comes to music video concepts. 

(JB): We always want the guys to do whatever feels right to them and whatever makes them happy when it comes to writing and putting out music. And we always love when a song has more meaning behind the lyrics. 

(S): What is the name of your local country radio station(s) that you listen to? Do they play Dan + Shay's songs often? Which songs do they play the most? 

(JB): KYGO 98.5 and yes they do! They usually play whatever there new single is and then any of their big hits like "Tequila" and "From The Ground Up". 

(S): If you had to pick your top two favorite Dan + Shay albums and top five overall songs (including from their Christmas album), what would they be? Tell me why those songs and the two albums overall connect with you. 

(JB): Where it All Began will always be a favorite album because it was their very first and what brought us together. We also loved the newest album Bigger Houses because it showcased so much growth in their music. But their Christmas album is incredible!! They were absolutely out on this earth to create that album. We love all their songs and can’t pick favorites ha ha!

(S): Dan + Shay have been very active on social media over the years. Are there any special interactions/memories that you have had with them on social media that you would like to share? 

(JB): There have been many times we have interacted from getting heart emojis to "love ya guys" to "Happy Birthdays" over the years from them. 

(S): If you had the opportunity to have dinner with Dan + Shay and spend quality time with them afterward, what questions would you ask them? What else would you talk about in a conversation with them? 

(JB): We would want to know their top three moments since they started on their journey together. And who their favorite people they met along the way are. Lastly, how different they are now compared to the start of their journey and what they would tell themselves back then that they know now. 

(S): Is there anything else you would like to add that I did not mention above? 

(JB): Nope, these were great questions!
