Keith Urban Performs at CMA Awards in First Major Appearance Post-Nicole Kidman Split: Fans React

  • At the 59th Annual CMA Awards in Nashville, Keith Urban performed with Lainey Wilson on November 19, 2025, marking his first televised appearance since Nicole Kidman's divorce filing.
  • Nearly two months after his breakup with Nicole Kidman was confirmed, Urban performed at the CMA Awards, following Kidman's September divorce filing and their focus on moving forward.
  • On Sept. 27 he notably replaced a lyric in "The Fighter" with Maggie Baugh's name, continuing a 'CMAs-bound' pattern, and at the CMAs, Keith Urban performed in all-black and joined Wilson onstage.
  • Fellow artists pushed back against the speculation, noting Alexandra Kay said last month she met Maggie Baugh's boyfriend and emphasized Baugh 'has nothing to do with Nicole and Keith's fall out.'
  • Lainey Wilson opened Wednesday's show with a medley and guest performer Charlie Worsham, telling the crowd, `I am thrilled I get to be here with you, my favorite country artists` while the 59th Annual CMA Awards featured acts like Zach Top, Megan Moroney and Chris Stapleton.
