A Star Is Born: Meet the woman dubbed 'Subway Lady Gaga'

A star was born earlier this week when a woman named Charlotte Awbery trended on social media for her breathtaking rendition of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's Oscar-winning song Shallow. The song was featured on the soundtrack of A Star Is Born and topped charts all over the world.

It all started when video creator Kevin Freshwater posted a segment of his series Finish the Lyrics.

The premise of the segment is that he walks the streets and passes people the microphone after he sings a famous line from popular songs.

In the clip, Kevin saddles up to Charlotte in an underground station, asking her to complete the lyrics to Shallow. After Charlotte shows off her powerful vocals, Kevin tells her she's "brilliant" and asks if she's a singer. "Yeah," she replies, thanking him for the compliments.
