This Isn’t the First Lyrics Change from Keith Urban to Raise Eyebrows…
Shortly after Kidman filed for divorce on Sept. 30, ending their 19-year marriage, Urban made headlines for altering the lyrics to his 2016 hit, “The Fighter.” He had previously shared that the song was inspired by his relationship with the Oscar-winning actress.
A clip shared by country artist Maggie Baugh showed Urban changing the lyrics during their performance. He altered “when they’re tryna get to you, baby I’ll be the fighter,” to, “when they’re tryna get to you, Maggie I’ll be your guitar player.”
Baugh shared the video on social media on Sept. 26, captioning it, “Did he just say that,” with an eyes emoji.
Kidman and Urban’s separation was reported on Sept. 29, just one day before the Eyes Wide Shut actress filed for divorce. The couple, who married in June 2006, shares two daughters: Sunday, 17, and Faith, 14.
