Scottish-Canadian country star Johnny Reid and his wife were spotted in 琉璃神社 Wednesday (July 27).
A woman working at a store in Glenmore spotted the singer while he was out shopping.
Christina Amelio told Capital News that Reid asked her for assistance.
鈥淚 like, looked at him and I heard his accent and I was like, this guy looks really familiar. I helped him and he talked more, and I was like, 鈥榟e鈥檚 a singer, I know it鈥檚 him,鈥� Amelio said. 鈥淚 looked at him and I said, 鈥榶ou鈥檙e a singer aren鈥檛 you?鈥� and he laughed.鈥�
Amelio then called her mom to ask the name of her favourite country singer, who of course asked for picture proof.
Amelio politely asked Reid for a photo to share with her mom before she says Reid insisted on calling her up.
鈥淗e talked to her and they chatted for a bit. He was super kind and super nice and super sweet.鈥�
Amelio said she helped him with directions and was told Reid and his wife are visiting a local winery.
Capital News asked Amelio if this is the most famous individual she has had the opportunity to chat with, but she said a previous job had her meeting all kinds of celebrities.
鈥淲hen I came back from London and I started working here in 琉璃神社, the girl that was training me, she said, 鈥榦h, this isn鈥檛 London鈥on鈥檛 expect to see any celebrities.鈥� And then look what happened!鈥�
