Country singer Keith Urban gave just a few hours’ notice before performing a free concert Friday night in the parking lot of a large convenience store and gas station in north Alabama.

About 5,500 people turned out for the show in Athens, about 100 miles south of Nashville, said Athens Police Department Capt. Brett Constable. The concert was outside a Buc-ee’s, a chain of roadside stores.

“I came down to this Buc-ee’s about a month ago. And when I left, I went, ‘It’d be kind of fun to do a show there,’ ” Urban told the crowd, according to an Instagram video posted by WAFF-TV in Huntsville, Alabama.

Urban said his “cave man brain” told him it would be fun to set up a little stage for a small audience.

“I swear to you, I thought maybe 100, 200 people,” Urban said as a video showed a much larger crowd.

Urban also worked behind a food counter. A video showed him wearing a Buc-ee’s T-shirt and apron as he poured barbecue sauce on some brisket and chopped the meat.

Stabbing attack survivors meet Swift: Taylor Swift shared a “magical” evening with two girls involved in the deadly stabbings that took place at a Swift-themed dance yoga class in Southport, England.

Swift invited the children on the London stop of her “Eras Tour” and spent time with the pair backstage after the show. Photos of the sweet moment were posted by the mother, Sami Foster, in a TikTok captioned, “You drew stars around my scars”

Photos show the family posing with the Grammy winner, a moment Foster describes as “pure happiness.” “Making the most magical night possible for us all. thank you for bringing Hope & Autumn pure happiness last night & always.”

Previous videos on Foster’s TikTok page show the family have been long time fans of the “Karma” singer and had attended the Eras Tour several times already.

On July 29, the girls were two of several affected by an attack that took place inside a dance school when 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, armed with a knife, started stabbing those inside.

Berry seeking sole custody of son: Halle Berry is seeking sole legal custody of the son she shares with ex-husband Olivier Martinez, claiming his “turbulent” behavior has negatively impacted the 10-year-old.

The Oscar winner, 58, says son Maceo has serious behavioral and learning issues that his father refuses to address, according to legal documents.

Berry claims in the filing that their son is falling behind in his studies, in no small part because his father puts an emphasis on soccer over school. She also says Maceo returns to her angry and combative after spending longer periods of time with Martinez.

Berry is asking the judge to give her full custody so she can single-handedly make decisions on Maceo’s education and therapy.
