Keith Urban & Nicole Kidman’s “The Fighter” Car Performance Is Ultimate #CoupleGoals
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s rendition of “The Fighter” during a car ride epitomizes #CoupleGoals. Their undeniable chemistry is evident from the outset, beginning with an adorable skit. Despite a brief interruption when the stereo skips and disrupts Urban’s verse, he swiftly recovers, leading seamlessly into the song’s romantic chorus.
The duo’s exchange during the song’s call and response sections is particularly enchanting, with Kidman playfully acting out her parts as if she were a Disney character serenading her love interest. Their charismatic performance in the video showcases why they’re celebrated as Australia’s top celebrity couple. The video, captured on a smartphone, has garnered significant attention on Urban’s YouTube channel, attracting over 10 million views, as showcased here:
“The Fighter,” the fifth single from Urban’s ninth album “Ripcord,” originally features the vocals of American country star Carrie Underwood. While Underwood and Urban present a striking pair in the official music video, the casual, intimate setting of Urban and Kidman’s car performance offers a unique charm.
Although Kidman’s vocals are somewhat subdued in the video, the moments where her voice shines through demonstrate her vocal prowess. Given her background in prominent musical films like Baz Luhrmann’s “Moulin Rouge!,” this shouldn’t be surprising. Kidman has also shared the stage with Urban for live performances, including an acoustic rendition of “Parallel Line,” available for viewing here:
Choosing “The Fighter” as a duet resonates deeply with the couple, as the song’s lyrics mirror a man’s vow to always support his partner. Urban has shared that the song was inspired by his relationship with Kidman, reflecting on their early days and the promises they exchanged, which he poured into the song’s creation.
