D. She went on a world tour in support of the album 21.

In a moment of personal crisis, how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver? I began studying this question and found the answers interesting.
One morning I got into three different taxis and announced: “Well, it’s my first day back in New York in seven years. I’ve been in prison. ” Not a single driver replied, so I tried again. “Yeah, I shot a man in Reno, ” I explained, hoping the driver would ask me why, but nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghanaian driver: “Reno? That is in Nevada? ”
Taxi drivers were uniformly sympathetic when I said I’d just been fired. “This is America, ” a Haitian driver said. “One door is closed. Another is open. ” He argued against my plan to burn down my boss’s house: “If you do something silly and they put you away, you cannot look for another job. ” A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope: he refused to take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge, a $20 trip. “Why do you want to go there? Go home and relax. Don’t worry. Take a new job. ”
One very hot weekday in July, while wearing a red ski mask and holding a stuffed pillowcase with the word “BANK” on it, I tried hailing a taxi five times outside different banks. The driver picked me up every time. My ride with a Haitian driver was typical of the superb assistance I received.
