Keith Urban Honors Bandmate Maggie Baugh by Changing Lyrics on Tour

In a heartwarming gesture, country superstar Keith Urban recently honored his bandmate, rising artist Maggie Baugh, during a performance on his High and Alive World Tour.

Baugh, a Florida-born country musician, has been serving as Urban's utility player on the tour since last year. During a show on September 26th, 2025, Urban and Baugh performed his hit song "The Fighter," featuring Carrie Underwood. However, Urban surprised the audience by changing a lyric from the original "When they're tryna get to you, baby I'll be the fighter" to "When they're tryna get to you, Maggie I'll be your guitar player."

Baugh, who began playing violin at the age of 6 and moved to Nashville at 18 to pursue her music career, has been steadily making a name for herself in the industry. She has performed on notable stages like the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Grand Ole Opry, where she made her debut in December 2024.

Baugh's journey has been an inspiring one, as she turned to songwriting as an outlet after being bullied as a child. "I had to write my feelings down," she shared. "I chose music as an outlet instead of doing something horrible that kids do now when they're depressed and bullied. I fell in love with music and pouring my heart out into words."

With the release of her debut album, "Dear Me," in October 2023 and her upcoming second album, "Entertainers Heart," set for late 2025, Baugh's star continues to rise. Her collaboration with Urban on his tour has undoubtedly been a career-defining moment, and his gesture of including her name in the lyrics is a testament to her talent and the respect she has earned in the country music community.
