Christina Aguilera teamed up with Jimmy Fallon to give New York City subway commuters a special treat yesterday (14 June).
The Genie in a Bottle singer disguised herself in sunglasses, a floppy hat and baggy clothes.
She then enters the 50th street subway station with Fallon and begins entertaining unsuspecting passersby on the platform.
The pair sing Aretha Franklin’s hit-song Think and a huge crowd begins to form.
When they finish the song, Fallon removes his disguise and introduces himself to the crowd of people. He then introduces Aguilera to a crowd that goes wild.
Aguilera ends up performing her classic song Fighter to a score of people cheering, screaming and recording on their phones.
