CTA Singer Thought She Had the Train to Herself…Except, She Didn’t

Couldn’t let this one slip through the cracks.

Last week, a video surfaced of my new favorite person in the world:  Stevie.  She thought she found herself in a pretty unique situation…in an empty “L” car on the CTA.  A private ride on public transportation, if you will.

She celebrated by belting out an improvised song.  Not just for herself, as it turned out:

Thanks to the Chicago Tribune, we know that Stevie….is local improv actress Stevie Shale.  Turns out she was playing around with Facebook Live more than a year ago — and it took until last weekend for a friend to share that gem of a video with us.  As of the posting of this article, it had hit 3.5 million views.

If you were hoping for a repeat performance, don’t get your hopes up.  Turns out she’s commuting by car nowadays.  Oh, Stevie…  — [eric]
