So I got into the city at like 11am and went straight to the Adelaide Convention Centre where Chelsea, Caitlyn, Naomi, Karissa and Tim were already (they got there at like 8). We were hanging outside in a walkway between a back entrance of the Convention Centre and the Intercontinental Hotel, which is where Delta was staying. We took a few photos of our group together, and some videos of us, mainly Chelsea and I, dancing around like losers to Sitting on Top of the World.
Just before 12, we were dancing around when Chelsea suddenly stopped and went "oh my god..." and I turned around and Delta was walking towards us around the corner. We squealed like the fangirls we are and she gave Chels and I a huge hug! Then she walked towards the door to go in and she got us to come with her.
Just before I had arrived earlier, the others had been kicked out the foyer of the Convention Centre by some bitchy security lady called Janis. Well when Delta was walking in, Janis tried to stop us, and Delta turned massively bitchy but cute, it was hilarious. She was like "no they're coming in with me" and Janis was like "uhh but..." and Delta interrupted and said "no, I'm telling you, they're coming with me." It was the funniest moment of my life. And then she put her hands on her hips and stared all the security down and said "I hope you're treating them well!" HAHAHAHAHA <3
So we waited in the foyer for like 10 minutes, trying to be really quiet. Until Chelsea lay back on the couch and hit her head on the GLASS coffee table. Really loudly. There was this massive loud bang and we all tried not to crack up laughing but were laughing silently and omg.
Then Janis came out and told us to follow her, and we walked underneath all the seats and around the back and in through another door into the auditorium. We sat on the far side near the back. They showed a video introduction for her which was heaps good. Then she came out and the presenter guy asked her some questions about her growing up and music and everything, then some of the kids got to ask questions. A few of them burst into tears and Delta jumped offstage and gave one girl in the front row who was crying a big hug, it was so cute.
At the end, someone asked her to sing a song, and she sang a bit of Knocked Out, which sounded absolutely amazing. Then she tried to get everyone to sing Born to Try, but no one really was. I would have sung louder except we weren't really supposed to be there so was trying to be inconspicuous lol.
We left as soon as she'd finished and walked around for a bit trying to work out where we were meant to go... Then we found the room next to the auditorium where Delta was signing CDs for the kids during their lunch break, and just waited off to the side. Near the end of the signing, she started rubbing her eye. Naomi was like "I think she has something in her eye..." then like two seconds later Delta turned to the lady and said "I have something in my eye." We laughed. Massive psychic/stalker moment right there but oh well hahaha!
So we waited for all the kids to disperse, which didn't actually happen, seeing as they mobbed her when she was leaving the room through the back door. We quickly ran out the room and around to the foyer and back outside to where we were in the morning so that we didn't miss her, and like one minute later the side door opened and she came out.
She took photos with all of us and signed some stuff. I showed her my scrapbook which I've kept since the Visualise Tour, and she flipped through it and told me it was amazing and then she signed the front of it for me. "To Liana, So much love & thanks 4 all your support over the years <3 Delta"
Chelsea and I grabbed each other and screamed and massively fangirled, and Delta could still hear us haha, she was probably like "wtf..." hahaha. Then Naomi, Tim, Karissa and I walked over to Rundle Mall, Naomi and I were fangirling the whole way :)
Today was the most amazing day, I wish I could go back and do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing!!!! Except for maybe sneakily recording her singing Knocked Out... Hahaha. But it was absolutely perfect, and it wouldn't have happened like it did if it wasn't for security kicking us out, and for Tim, Rachael and of course Delta being the amazing woman she is. Only Delta would do something like that for her fans <3 I love her so much :)
