Keith Urban left concert-goers stunned when a performance took a jaw-dropping turn that seemed designed to humiliate Nicole Kidman. The country superstar’s recent stage moment had fans talking and questioning his motives, and the answer came in the form of his young Tennessee guitarist, Maggie Baugh.
The jaw-dropping moment came just days after the shocking announcement of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s divorce. During a performance of “The Fighter,” a song written for Kidman, Urban swapped the original lyric, “When they’re tryna get to you, baby I’ll be the fighter,” for a bold new version.
Many fans believe it was a clear message. Urban changes the lyrics to “When they’re tryna get to you, Maggie I’ll be your guitar player.” The 25-year-old Tennessee guitarist shamelessly shared the clip on social media, and it immediately went viral, according to Daily Mail.

What had once been a song about Nicole Kidman, with whom he shared 19 years of marriage, was now a public declaration of attention toward someone else entirely. The timing was explosive. Needless to say, fans immediately began blasting Keith Urban and Maggie Bough.
“Can’t believe he would stoop so low!” one fan writes.
“You broke up Keith Urban and Nicole. Homewrecker,” another directs at Maggie Bough.
“Wow, that is beyond disrespectful and disgusting. And you ruined your career already because this is not the flex you think it is.”
“It is so trashy to do this to a song inspired by his wife. It’s the ultimate ick.”
“They were married for a long time and have 2 daughters. This is tacky and nasty, I’m beginning to think that Keith is not quite the nice guy he pretends to be,” another commenter writes.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s recent split has been quite the topic among the former Hollywood couple’s fans. Sources say the split stemmed from conflicting lifestyles. Nicole tackling racy film roles while Keith spent months on his High and Alive World Tour. The couple, who share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, were last seen together in June.
Kidman wasted no time in filing and has requested primary custody. While rumors continue to mount that Keith may have already moved on with someone younger, reportedly, 25-year-old Tennessee musician Maggie Bough.
A song once dedicated to love is now a social media sensation. From Tennessee stages to viral feeds, Keith Urban’s lyrical pivot proves even intimate songs can become scandalous. Nicole Kidman’s legacy may remain. But the spotlight is firmly on his Tennessee guitarist, Maggie Bough, and Keith Urban doesn’t seem to mind who notices.
