MEDFORD, NJ. (THECOUNT) — New Jersey woman, Ruth Reed, thought she was helping a “down-and-out” man pay for his gas station food, but ended up footing the bill for country music star Keith Urban.
Reed says she met Urban at a Medford Wawa ahead of his concert Friday night in Camden.

Substitute teacher Reed says she had made a resolution to help Wawa customers and jumped at the chance when the man ahead of her was short a few dollars.
“It looked like he was using a card and it didn’t go through,” Reed to KYW-TV. “Then, he asked a young lady for $5 and I thought, ‘This is it.’ So I said, ‘No I’ll get it.'” source
Reed says he thanked her and said his name was Keith. When she remarked that he looked like Keith Urban, he said he was.
Not believing him, Reed asked his bodyguard to confirm she was talking to the musician.
She says, “It was then I realized what an idiot I was.”
