Britain’s Got Talent phenomenon Susan Boyle is getting so famous so fast that she’s even had to turn down some pretty impressive invitations.

According to the News of the World, U.S. President Barack Obama reportedly invited Boyle to attend a dinner at the White House, but she refused. “She was shocked and thrilled by the invite, but it was all too much too soon for her so she said, ‘No.’ She has been told President Obama has seen clips of her on TV and loved her singing. And she is delighted,” a source tells the newspaper.

“Instead she’ll have no doubt stayed in with her cat Pebbles.”
