80s Pop Star Tiffany 'Extremely Lucky' To Safely Escape Car Accident

Tiffany, the pop singer known for her 80s teen hit, I Think We’re Alone Now, regards herself as “extremely lucky” after getting into a car accident that could’ve been much worse.

As TMZ reports, a representative for Tiffany said that a tyre came from a nearby truck (likely from the back of the vehicle) last week and bounced onto the front of her car. She was driving on Interstate 65 in Nashville at the time.

The tyre ended up wedged under the driver’s side of Tiffany’s car. In photos shared with TMZ, the side panel of her car has been totally ripped off, with more damage reported. Tiffany told TMZ, "I'm extremely lucky and thankful because a major accident could have happened."

I Think We’re Alone Now, a cover of the Tommy James & The Shondells song, spent two weeks at #1 in the US in 1987 and hit #13 in Australia. It was Australia's 32nd highest-selling single of 1988. In 2019, Tiffany released a guitar-driven version of her biggest hit. You can hear both versions of the track below.

Also in 2019, Tiffany supported Bananarama during a special gig at the Forum in Melbourne. “Telling us it’s taken her 30 years to get here, Tiffany opens with a new song called Beautiful (not to be mistaken for Could’ve Been ("...so beautiful"), which comes later),” The Music’s review of her set noted.

Tiffany continued to perform the majority of her set from the photography pit, interacting with the keen fans in the front row and leaving the stage behind her empty (aside from the instruments ready for Bananarama’s band).

The Music’s review continued, “She sure can sing and busts out some ancient chorey – demonstrating she's still got the moves – during epic singalong moment I Think We're Alone Now, which takes us back to sneaky pashes in shopping centre car parks and reminds us of the accompanying music video featuring live footage of Tiffany performing in shopping malls to echo her early promotional campaigns.”
