1. DeAnne’s “rebellious side” began early in life.
DeAnne confessed that in elementary school she once got sent to the principal’s office for disrupting the class by singing a teacher’s name: Mrs. Dayo (“Day-O,” from The Banana Boat Song). As a “Beetlejuice” fan, I’d struggle to refrain as well.
DeAnne also admits to Jaywalking.
Could we please trade rap sheets?

2. DeAnne is a real-life Robin Hood.
When DeAnne worked as a grocery store cashier she would sneak food to the less fortunate without charging them for it. The store eventually went bankrupt.

3. Behind every great artist is an even greater pet.
For DeAnne, it’s a chihuahua mix named Rudy.
Australia! The only thing that consoles my tiny pup when I'm away is knowing you're coming to my shows. Get tix! https://t.co/0Vq86eWq5N pic.twitter.com/gRINsKwJdY

4. Even she has nightmare dates.
It’s nice to not be alone in that department.
I’m not exactly saying that I’ve had to phone-a-friend for help to get me out of a particularly sticky situation, but DeAnne has!

5. She keeps the laughs coming on Twitter.
If you don’t follow DeAnne on Twitter, you’re missing out. This particular tweet spoke to me:
what i imagine most people think after a well-received tweet: "cool"
what i think: "phew! i have successfully communicated in human yet again! …but how long can this streak last?"
