Keith Urban Varies Setlist Nightly, Not Intentionally Omitting Nicole Kidman Songs

Keith Urban’s recent performance in Hershey, Pennsylvania, sparked speculation when he did not include ‘The Fighter,’ a song associated with his estranged wife, Nicole Kidman, in his setlist. This omission came shortly after Kidman filed for divorce, leading some media outlets to suggest Urban was deliberately excluding songs tied to her as a form of shade. However, a source close to Urban clarified to TMZ that the country star frequently changes his setlist to keep performances fresh, and the exclusion of ‘The Fighter’ was not a personal statement. The song, which Urban wrote about supporting Kidman, is expected to return in future shows, possibly as soon as his next performance in Bristow, Virginia. The couple, who separated earlier this year at Urban’s initiative, have been living apart in Nashville and are no longer wearing their wedding rings. Despite earlier controversy when Urban altered the song’s lyrics in April, sources deny any intentional slight against Kidman. The situation reflects ongoing personal challenges, with sources suggesting Urban may be experiencing a midlife crisis, though reconciliation appears unlikely at this time.
