Watch Keith Urban & Nicole Kidman Nail “The Fighter” in a Car Sing-Along #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 a playful skit. A brief hiccup with the car stereo momentarily interrupts Urban’s part, but he swiftly recovers, leading into the heartfelt chorus.
The duo engages in the song’s call-and-response sections, with Kidman playfully acting the part of a Disney princess serenading her love. Their charismatic presence in the video showcases their status as one of Australia’s most beloved celebrity couples. The video, captured on a smartphone, quickly went viral on Urban’s YouTube channel, attracting 10 million viewers, as seen here:
“The Fighter,” the fifth single from Urban’s ninth album “Ripcord,” originally features Carrie Underwood. While the official music video with Underwood is impressive, there’s something uniquely special about Urban and Kidman’s casual car jam session.
Kidman’s vocals might be faint in the video, but her performance is spot-on where audible, underscoring her musical talent, which she’s showcased in major musical films like Baz Luhrmann’s “Moulin Rouge!” and in live performances with Urban, including their acoustic rendition of “Parallel Line,” available here:
Choosing “The Fighter” as a duet seems fitting for the couple, given the song’s lyrics about unwavering support in a relationship. Urban has mentioned that the song was inspired by his relationship with Kidman, highlighting their personal connection to the track.
