Pop divas are just like us! The Long Island native sparkled in your basic commuter couture while riding the 1 train (a local!) Thursday night.

Oddly enough, I wore the exact same thing on my commute home. But, luckily, I ride the 7, narrowly escaping a humbling "Who wore it best" showdown with the glitter queen herself. --Lauren Hansen
