Keith Urban Responds to Fan’s Remark Amid Nicole Kidman Divorce

At a recent concert in Nashville, country music star Keith Urban had an amusing interaction with a fan. The event took place on October 17, during the last performance of his High and Alive World Tour at the Bridgestone Arena. During the show, a female audience member named Nicole drew Urban’s attention, and her name sparked a light-hearted exchange between them.
Keith Urban’s Playful Response
As captured in a video shared online, Urban asked the audience member her name. After she replied, he playfully questioned, “I’m not going to like your name?” The fan clarified that her name was indeed Nicole, leading to a humorous moment where Urban dropped to the floor, feigning exasperation, as the audience erupted with laughter.
The country artist showcased his sense of humor throughout the night. He engaged with the crowd, and at one point, he was visibly touched as audience members held up red paper hearts during his performance of “Somebody Like You.”
Previous Concert Cancellation
This concert followed a previous cancellation. Urban had to cancel his show in Greenville, South Carolina, on October 16 due to laryngitis. The cancellation came after he had been advised by his laryngologist to rest his voice completely. In a heartfelt message to fans, he expressed regret for canceling, acknowledging the effort it takes for fans to attend his shows.
