LOOP: Out of a crowd of thousands, one woman was handpicked by Grammy award-winning artist Burna Boy, leaving her speechless just minutes into the show-stopping performance.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

When Karian Christian heard that THE Burna Boy was coming to her homeland to perform, she could not contain her excitement.<\/p>\n

She wasted no time to cop her ticket and prepare herself to be front and centre at\u00a0the legendary show.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

Christian browsed through her personal album of hundreds of Burna Boy photos and selected her favourite to be printed on a shirt and as the event got closer, she booked her nail appointment and had his name spelt out on her nails.<\/p>

This was the least she could do to show her support for her favourite artiste.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old\u2019s adoration for the \u2018African Giant\u2019 began in 2019 on a simple day and in a casual way.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

She was driving in Miami, where she was living at the time when she heard her now favourite song \u2018Anybody\u2019 by Burna Boy.<\/p>\n

At the time she had no idea who was singing but she was captivated and quickly \u2018Shazamed\u2019 the song to find out its name.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Christian has been \u201chooked ever since.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cI listen to every one of his albums every day. His song is my ringtone. All my alarms are one of his songs,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI literally know every song, every album, every project that he\u2019s done, watched every interview \u201cshe continued to tell\u00a0Loop News<\/em>.<\/p>\n

She also revealed that Burna Boy empowered her through difficult times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was going through a tough time in my marriage at that time in 2019 and his music helped me a lot to just center myself and focus on the mission at hand or whatever I was preparing to do,\u201d she disclosed.<\/p>\n

But throughout her three\u00a0years as a superfan, Christian was not able to see the star perform.<\/p>\n

She moved back to Antigua in 2020 and was not able to attend any of his US shows but when she heard that he would be in Dominica she did her best to try to get there.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so excited because I was actually trying to go see him in Dominica but it just did not work out because the tickets were crazy and I couldn\u2019t get a ferry,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n

So, when she heard that he was coming to Antigua she screamed on the inside.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe timing was immaculate it was meant to happen that way. I would not have gotten that personal experience if it wasn\u2019t in Antigua first,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Christian printed a customised Burna Boy shirt, painted his name onto her nails and was one of the first to arrive at the concert.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have an album on my phone with over 200 pictures of him and I just chose four of my favourites\u201d for two shirts,\u201d she said explaining how her outfit came to be.<\/p>\n

But as if seeing him up close wasn\u2019t enough, Burna Boy approached her, gave her his shades and said \u201cI\u2019m gonna give this to you because you\u2019re so special. I love you.\u201d<\/p>\n
