Country music star Keith Urban is navigating public scrutiny following Nicole Kidman’s divorce filing, and he’s making his stance clear. During his October 17 performance at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Urban directly addressed fans who have been dissecting his lyrics for clues about the split. The 57-year-old singer urged the crowd to “stop reading s–t into it,” referencing changes to his song “You’ll Think of Me.”
Urban and Kidman’s 19-year marriage officially ended on September 30, 2025, with court documents citing “irreconcilable differences.” Since then, Urban’s High and Alive World Tour has become a focal point for fans speculating about the breakup.
Keith Urban, performing in Nashville on October 17, responded to ongoing speculation about his divorce from Nicole Kidman. During his concert, he addressed fans who were analyzing his lyric changes, stating he’s “been covering like this for a long time.” The remarks come amid heightened attention following Kidman’s September 30 divorce filing, which ended their nearly two-decade marriage.
Urban’s performance included altered lyrics to “You’ll Think of Me,” where he added, “Take your space and all your bulls–t reasons.” He also changed lines in “The Fighter,” originally written for Kidman, to reference his guitarist Maggie Baugh. These moments sparked viral reactions online, prompting fellow artist Alexandra Kay to defend Baugh against romance rumors.
“She’s very happy and has nothing to do with that whole relationship,” Kay told Taste of Country Nights.
Urban also had a humorous exchange with a fan named Nicole, jokingly collapsing on stage upon hearing her name.
The divorce has intensified media focus on Urban’s performances and personal life. Fans have resurfaced past interviews and social media posts, noting subtle signs of strain. Despite the speculation, Urban has not publicly commented on the reasons behind the split.
Kidman, meanwhile, hinted at personal transformation in a recent Vogue interview, saying, “You think you know where your life is going and then it isn’t going in that direction”.
Urban turns 58 on October 26 and continues his High and Alive World Tour. His last Instagram post was on September 26, promoting The Road with Blake Shelton. No new statements have been issued regarding future music or personal developments.
Kidman and Urban have finalized a parenting plan for their daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, with Kidman listed as the primary residential parent
