Deborah Tan says that she will never forget her experience at the 2012 Grammy Awards.

The winner of last year's contest on Red FM was delighted when she found out that she was on her way to the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California to attend the awards.

In true Red FM fashion, the announcement of the winner wasn't just done on air.

The Red Ryders, together with Terry from The Red Fix (Mondays to Fridays, 4pm-7pm), surprised Tan at her house and presented her with the good news – that she had not only won a ticket to the Grammys, but also a day trip to either Universal Studios Hollywood or Disneyland in Anaheim, California.

Terry practically had to chase after Tan to give her the prize as she was too busy screaming and running around the house in excitement!

Looking back on the experience, Tan still can't believe that she actually got the chance to be at the glitzy awards. "I had to pinch myself several times to actually believe that it wasn't just a dream. I was within reach of Bruno Mars!" she said.

For her day trip, Tan chose to head out to Disneyland. "Even though I am an adult, I felt just as amazed (being there) as a child would. It's the only place where fairytales can come true!

"It was so much fun, I can't even explain how amazing the place was. On a scale of one to 10, it was 99. I am so grateful for the opportunity that Red FM gave me," shared Tan.

She advises this year's winner to just "soak it all in, you will never get an opportunity like this again, walk around as much as you can, talk to as many people as you can and make the most of this once in a lifetime opportunity that you will never forget."

So, who will win Red FM's 60 Seconds To The Grammys contest this year? Entries are currently still pouring in at Red FM; two finalists will face off on the Red Breakfast with Sarimah and Lil Kev on Jan 25.

So, if you have yet to send in your entry, make sure you do so by Jan 22.
