Was there a secret meeting in which country music stars decided to turn transportation hubs into their own personal stages? Recently Taylor Swift performed at JFK's Terminal 5, and yesterday Keith Urban surprised commuters at Penn Station by turning into a busker for a short time. According to the AP, he sang five songs to several hundred fans—allegedly part of a promotional tour that's taking him to train stations nationwide. The musician, and husband of Nicole Kidman, told FOX the station has “good acoustics… it was cool. I’ve never played a train station before.” Be a lot cooler if it were in the old Penn Station.
