A starstruck grandmother, Susan Monaghan went viral on the Internet for saying she felt like an angel hugged her when she came in contact with Beyonce and Hubby Jay Z.
Monaghan said “I was like, ‘Oh my God, I looked at her and all I could think was, ‘No one is going to believe me. No one is going to believe me.”
Monaghan, who can be seen in the fourth photo of Beyonce’s Instagram slideshow with her mouth agape, revealed in an interview with the Boston Globe that she ran into Queen B and Jay Z in a hallway of the Sheraton New York Times Square hotel, where Clive Davis’ pre-Grammys party was held on Saturday.
The excited grandmother said she was in Manhattan for her granddaughter’s gymnastics competition on Sunday, revealing that she and her family was gathered in the lobby on Saturday night when she decided to head up to her room on the eighth floor.
She said she was not aware it was the Carter’s until she saw a crowd of photographers and security guards that she saw Beyonce and Jay Z.
“I’m thinking in my mind, ‘Who is this?’ And I looked at him and he looked tall, and thin, and had curly hair, and was really good-looking,” she said before spotting Beyonce behind him.
Visibly shocked, Monaghan says the singer flashed her a smile that said, “Don’t worry, it’s going to be OK.”
“It was so calming and so surreal,” she continued. “I swear I felt like I was hugged by an angel.”
When asked why she thought Bey posted the photo, Monaghan insisted it was just for her. “I think she posted it for me,” she said. “So people would believe me.”
Jay Z, Beyonce and Blue Ivy were one of the most talked about celebrities at the just concluded Grammy with pictures and videos of them made the news on social media platforms.
