Keith Urban must be relying on a strong support network at this time, especially following the news of his estranged wife Nicole Kidman‘s divorce filing in September 2025.
It seems that Maggie Baugh could be a crucial part of that support, as she has been performing with his band for some time now.
Let’s delve into the artist’s background and explore how Keith honored her during a recent concert.
Maggie’s Classical Roots
While Maggie is celebrated for her presence in the country music scene, her initial training was in classical music as she grew up in Boca Raton, Florida.
As a child, she attended an arts-focused institution and famously performed at Carnegie Hall during the 7th grade, as noted by Undiscovered Nashville.
Maggie referred to herself as a “string nerd” in her youth, with aspirations to study at Juilliard.
Skilled in multiple instruments, she eventually transitioned to country music, both playing and recording.
Social Media Boosts Maggie’s Musical Career
Her musical career gained significant traction in 2023 with the release of her album “Dear Me.”
Maggie’s presence surged on social media platforms like TikTok, where she accumulated over 40 million views across her channels, as highlighted on her official website.
She has graced stages at renowned venues including the Grand Ole Opry and participated in numerous shows supporting both her music and collaborations with other artists.
Throughout 2025, Maggie has released multiple singles, with her latest track, “10 20s Summers,” debuting in June.
Maggie’s Touring Journey with Keith
In 2024, Maggie toured with Keith Urban for the first time, establishing their musical connection, according to Bloomington, Indiana’s The Herald-Times.
During a performance of “The Fighter,” which is a tribute to his estranged wife, Keith gave Maggie a special mention at a concert shortly before his separation from Kidman became public.
He personalized the lyrics to say, “When they’re tryna get to you, Maggie, I’ll be your guitar player.”
Maggie’s excitement about the shout-out was evident when she shared a clip of that moment on her Instagram.
