Lauren Spencer Smith, at Eleven, Teams Up with Keith Urban for an Impressive Duet

If you haven’t seen it yet, check out this unforgettable rendition of an Adele classic. Captured at Sunfest in Florida during 2015, the performance stars Keith Urban from Australia and Lauren Spencer-Smith, a contestant from American Idol. Together, they deliver an electrifying version of Adele’s (originally by Dylan) “Make You Feel My Love,” leaving the audience in awe. The remarkable part? Lauren was just eleven at the time!

Keith has a tradition of hosting a contest at each of his shows to choose a fan to join him on stage for a song. This time, he selected two, and Lauren was one of the lucky picks. It’s rare to see anyone, let alone an eleven-year-old, share the stage with Keith Urban and hold their own in front of a huge audience.

Lauren’s performance was a hit, winning over the crowd instantly. Born in Portsmouth, England, on September 23, 2003, Lauren moved to Canada with her family when she was just three. Raised in the Vancouver Island region, her passion for music and performance emerged early, leading her to participate in a school talent show at six.

By eleven, Lauren had started her own YouTube channel, gradually building a following that has grown to 702,000 subscribers, with several videos surpassing a million views. Recently, she has also begun sharing her original music on the platform.

In 2019, Lauren released two albums, Unplugged Vol 1 and Vol 2, with the former earning a Juno nomination for Adult Contemporary Album Of The Year, narrowly missing out to Bryan Adams.

Lauren gained broader recognition from her stint on American Idol in 2020, reaching the top 20. Her international fame soared in 2022 with the self-released hit “Fingers Crossed,” achieving top chart positions across several countries, a remarkable feat without professional promotion. This success has significantly boosted her estimated net worth to over a million dollars, with prospects of a record deal likely as her career progresses.

Keith Urban, meanwhile, is a celebrated global music icon, known not only for his successful career with twelve studio albums and over fifty awards but also for his marriage to Nicole Kidman. The couple shares two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret. Despite his battle with addiction, Keith has been open about his journey to recovery following rehab in 2006, maintaining his illustrious career and family life.
