Keith Urban blanked on the words to “The Fighter” on Friday while performing in Nashville during his “High and Alive Tour.
The moment was captured by a fan and shared on TikTok.
Urban, 57, laughed and admitted, “And I’ve forgotten my own words to my song.”
Natalie Stovall joined him on the duet.
According to Taste of Country, “The Fighter” had been pulled from Urban’s shows after fan backlash over a previous performance with guitarist Maggie Baugh.
At a Sept. 25 show in Chicago, Urban performed “The Fighter” with Baugh and changed the lyrics — “When they’re tryna get to you, baby, I’ll be your fighter” — to “When they’re tryna get to you, Maggie, I’ll be your guitar player.”
Urban and Nicole Kidman announced their surprise divorce after 18 years of marriage.
According to the TMZ, Stovall is Urban’s go-to but Stovall has another band, Runaway June. Baugh has played with Urban prior to this tour, however.
Last week, Baugh broke her silence.
Baugh released a teaser for her new song, “The Devil Win,” featuring lyrics about fending off one’s “feelings” amid rumors about the nature of her relationship with Urban.
