Keith Urban<\/strong><\/a> closed out his High and Alive Tour by forgetting the words to his own song\u2014 and it quickly went viral.<\/p>\n Performing in Nashville on Friday, October 17, the 57-year-old country star forgot the lyrics to his 2016 duet with Carrie Underwood<\/strong>, \u201cThe Fighter.\u201d Mid-performance, Urban paused, laughed, and told the audience, \u201cAnd I\u2019ve forgotten my own words to my song,\u201d drawing cheers from the crowd. His touring musician, Natalie Stovall<\/strong>, danced beside him, helping carry the tune until Urban found his footing again.<\/p>\n The flub came during a headline-grabbing chapter in Urban\u2019s personal life. The singer, who recently split from wife Nicole Kidman<\/strong> after 19 years of marriage, had previously removed \u201cThe Fighter\u201d from his setlist amid speculation surrounding his onstage chemistry with guitarist<\/a>Maggie Baugh<\/strong> \u2014 who was notably missing during the performance.<\/p>\n \u201cDoesn\u2019t come close to Maggie,\u201d one fan commented on a TikTok video<\/a> of the moment.<\/p>\n Another declared, \u201cHe\u2019s much better with Maggie Baugh on stage.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThank god Maggie Bough is gone,\u201d a third stated.<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong>Keith Urban Admitted Life Was \u2018Lonely and Miserable\u2019 Before Nicole Kidman Split<\/a><\/p>\n During a September show in Chicago, Urban tweaked a lyric to reference Baugh directly, singing, \u201cWhen they\u2019re tryna get to you, Maggie, I\u2019ll be your guitar player,\u201d instead of the original line, \u201cWhen they\u2019re tryna get to you, baby, I\u2019ll be your fighter.\u201d This seemingly started their romance rumors, which have since been put to rest.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t Urban\u2019s first time editing lyrics on the fly. Earlier this month, the rocker changed a lyric<\/a> in his 2002 breakup song \u201cYou\u2019ll Think of Me\u201d to \u201cTake your space and all your stupid bulls**t reasons,\u201d which many assumed was about Kidman and their split. But during his Nashville show Friday, the country star dismissed the rumors, telling fans, \u201cI\u2019ve been covering like this for a long time. Stop reading sh*t into it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Oct 21, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
