Devon Daniels on Writing, Going Viral, and Starring In The I Want It That Way Music Video

Send Mary and Kelsey a Message!You may know Devon Daniels for her witty romantic comedy books Meet You In The Middle, which was named one the Best Books of 2021 by USA Today, and The Rom Con. But you may not know she was also *heavily* featured in the I Want It That Way music video as one of the screaming fans at the iconic LAX plane hangar. Devon received more screen time than most thus becoming the object of young Mary and young Kelsey’s envy. In this episode, Mary and Kelsey finally get the opportunity to ask Devon all of their burning questions, like what it was like to be part of one of the most recognizable music videos of all time and going TikTok viral 20 years later for it. Devon hilariously recounts notable interactions with Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Jessica Simpson, and her experiences sneaking into *the* events of the late 90s and early 2000s like the Kids’ Choice Awards and Blockbuster Movie Awards. Devon even shares her binder filled with celebrity photos with us and other behind-the-scenes gems, like the one and only celebrity to ever refuse a photo with her! Just like her books, Devon is wickedly funny and engaging. This episode is a must listen for any pop culture junkie. Support the showInstagram: @whentheypoppedpodTikTok: @whentheypoppedpodEmail: [email protected]: linktree.com/whentheypoppedSubscribe to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=85610411
