Keith Urban had a playful reaction after a fan alluded to his divorce from Nicole Kidman at a recent show.
While the “You’ll Think of Me” singer, 57, was onstage for the final stop of his High and Alive World Tour at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Friday, Oct. 17, Kidman, 58, came up during a fan interaction.
“What’s your name?” Urban asked a member of the crowd, as seen in a video shared by media agency Nashville Experience on Instagram.
After she uttered a reply that the microphone did not pick up, Urban said, “What? I’m not going to like your name? What?” to which the fan quickly cleared up the performer’s confusion, answering into the microphone: “It’s Nicole.”

Urban reacted with a sense of humor, bringing the microphone back to his face before dropping to the floor onstage, where he then laid for a moment as the crowd roared.
The “Blue Ain’t Your Color” musician also raised one of his arms up to the sky, seemingly in playful exasperation, before getting back up, the video shows.
Other videos shared by the Nashville-based company show Urban interacting with fans at the Tennessee show, as well as appearing to have an emotional reaction to the audience holding up red paper hearts as he performed. (The moment was seemingly a fan project that came during a performance of “Somebody Like You.”)
Urban’s final tour stop came a day after a canceled concert. He was set to play at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, S.C. on Thursday, Oct. 16, but canceled the show due to a bout with laryngitis that began days earlier.
The star’s longtime laryngologist previously placed him on “on complete vocal rest,” per a statement shared by the Greenville arena.
In a statement of his own, Urban wrote, “Hey Greenville, I’m so SO sorry to have to cancel the show ….I know all the logistics it takes to get to a concert these days and I’ve never taken any of that, or any of YOU for granted. I’m looking forward to getting back there when we can!!!!!”

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman in May 2025
Urban has been touring amid his split from Kidman. The Oscar winner filed for divorce from the country star last month after 19 years of marriage.
A source told PEOPLE at the time that she didn’t make the decision lightly. “Their split is turning dramatic. Nicole’s hurt and feels betrayed,” the insider said. “She wanted to save their marriage and believed that she could, but it seems he’s already moved on.”
The Practical Magic actress listed the couple’s date of separation as Sept. 30, the date of divorce filing, and cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, per documents obtained by PEOPLE.
Kidman also asked to be the primary residential parent in the custody agreement. The pair share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
