"When I had the driver in Minneapolis, he presented as a nice gentleman of caucasian persuasion. I will admit that the conversations to and from the gig, he'd start to say stuff that made me uncomfortable, maybe an anti-gay thing, [something] racial."
"I just didn't feel right, I've never done anything like this, it's so lame. I just started making up a story to the driver. My tour manager is helping me, she's like, 'And she's sick!' I go, 'And my cancer's back!'"

After unloading her luggage, the driver inquired about her fictitious cousin's location, leading to confusion. Ultimately, she opted for an Uber to the airport.
