The 57-year old singer was leaving Argentina after performing several concerts there as part of her world tour.

But giving the crowd something to smile about thrust her into the dimly-lit airport spotlight.

“Ok, so chow Argentina.At airport … So many delays,” she wrote on her Twitter page after the group sing-a-long. “Wound up being announced, wound up singing two songs for airport. A first for me. Crazy day.” (via Mashable)
