Sofie Hagen is stalking down the road to success

IN THE early 2000s, Westlife flew to Copenhagen to do a gig. Sofie Hagen was waiting for them. It was her hometown. She knew where they were staying.

When they emerged from their hotel, she jumped in a taxi and said to the driver: “Follow that car.” It was the best day of his life. “This is what I got into cab driving for,” he told her. For Hagen, it was just another day on the trail of Westlife.
