The Butterflies singer was pulled over in her car in Rio De Janeiro as she arrived in Santa Teresa.
In Brazil to perform at concert Rock in Rio, the songstress, 36, happily obliged as she was asked to step out of the car for the check, but ended up being mobbed by passers-by who noticed who she was.

Famously make-up free and fresh-faced, the singer wore shades and an elaborate headscarf as she waited for the police to check her vehicle, only to be attract the attention of fans.
The smiling singer seemed happy to pose for photographs with anyone who wanted a snap, grinning from ear to ear and doling out hugs to her loyal admirers.
She looked stylish in a black top and trousers, covered with a grey sweater with holes cut out across it.
She wore hooped earrings and the pink headscarf injected a pop of colour into what was an otherwise darkly-toned ensemble.
