So what do you do when you do when you're a big time country music superstar scheduled to play in West Palm Beach, and you're diverted (because of weather) to Miami?

If you're Keith Urban, you call Uber and tell em to haul a**!

According to Urban, his Uber driver went over 100 miles per hour on the freeway to get him and his crew to SunFest. He said he downloaded an app that told him how fast he was going.

I don't know what's scarier:  flying in bad weather, or flying on the ground with Uber!

But he made the gig!

All's well that ends well in country music.
