The Daily Beast reported on October 1, 2025, that country star Keith Urban changed the lyrics to his song “The Fighter,” a track famously inspired by his wife, Nicole Kidman. During a recent live performance, Urban altered the song, which originally featured Carrie Underwood, to include a reference to his touring guitarist, Maggie Baugh. The original lyric, "When they're tryna get to you, baby, I'll be the fighter," was changed to, "When they're tryna get to you, Maggie, I'll be your guitar player."
The lyrical change gained attention as it occurred just days before news became public that Kidman had filed for divorce on September 30, 2025, citing "irreconcilable differences" to end their 19-year marriage. The performance video was shared on social media by Baugh on September 26, 2025, before the divorce filing was public knowledge. The source material did not specify a reason for Urban's lyrical alteration. Court documents show the couple had already arranged a parenting plan.
