    ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version)’, which will be released on March 9, will hear the ‘Days Go By’ singer singing a duet with the ‘Love Story’ hitmaker on one song, and belting harmonies on another.

    Apr 5, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Taylor Swift’s upcoming “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” re-release will feature 27 tracks, including two she has recorded with former tourmate Keith Urban.

    The “Love Story” singer hinted Urban would be part of the reworked bonus album, released this week (March 9), in a cryptic video she posted online on Friday, April 2, and a day later she revealed the full track listing and stated she was thrilled when he agreed to be a part of the project.

    “I’m really honored that @KeithUrban is a part of this project, duetting on ‘That’s When’ and singing harmonies on ‘We Were Happy’,” she wrote. “I was his opening act during the ‘Fearless’ album era and his music has inspired me endlessly.”

    She added, “I’m counting down the minutes til we can all jump into this brave world together, filled with equal parts nostalgia and brand newness. Head first, Fearless.”

    Urban responded to Taylor’s post, tweeting that her producers Jack Antanoff and Aaron Dessner asked him if he’d join their band and the country singer said, “hell yes!!”

    He added, “They said you’re gonna love our lead singer – she’s fearless. We got to sing together and were so happy, and I said that’s magic when stars align like that!!!!!”

    Keith Urban gushed over collaborations with Taylor Swift.

    Swift is remaking all her albums up to 2017’s “Reputation” after the rights to the records were sold to music mogul Scooter Braun by her former record label boss without her permission. Taylor has already released two tracks – a reworked “Love Story” and a previously unheard collaboration with Maren Morris, called “You All Over Me” – and previewed a third, “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)”.

      Taylor Swift Confirms Keith Urban Duet After Challenging Fans to Decode Her Gold Vault

      WENN

      The ‘Willow’ singer announces the official tracklist for her upcoming album re-release after dropping hints about her collaborator with a gold vault clip on Instagram.

      Apr 4, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Taylor Swift has hinted she’s re-recording one of her old songs with Keith Urban.

      The pop star dropped a cryptic video message on Friday (02Apr21) and challenged fans to decode anagram clues that popped out of a gold vault.

      Fans were quick to figure out the clues, scrambling the song titles “We Were Happy”, “Don’t You”, “Mr. Perfectly Fine”, “Bye Bye Baby”, and “That’s When,” while Keith’s name also popped up, with fans suggesting he will be appearing on one of the new songs Taylor is releasing from her “Fearless” album sessions.

      It’s not clear on which one Urban will feature, but superfans noted the song playing in the background of the vault video was “Don’t You”.

      The full album will be released on 9 April (21).

      Swift is re-recording her old songs to thwart the new owners of her former record company – and her back catalogue – from making any money from her hits.

      Hours later, Taylor Swift confirmed Keith Urban collaboration by revealing the official tracklist.

      She teams up with Keith on “That’s When”, Maren Morris on “You All Over Me”, and Colbie Caillat on “Breathe”.

      “I’ve spoken a lot about why I’m remaking my first six albums, but the way I’ve chosen to do this will hopefully illuminate where I’m coming from,” she explained to her online devotees. “Artists should own their own work for so many reasons, but the most screamingly obvious one is that the artist is the only one who really knows that body of work. For example, only I know which songs I wrote that almost made the ‘Fearless’ album. Songs I absolutely adored, but were held back for different reasons (don’t want too many breakup songs, don’t want too many down tempo songs, can’t fit that many songs on a physical CD).”

      The Australian country music singer performs his songs for first responders at a drive-by movie theater where concertgoers are isolated in their own vehicle.
      May 17, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Keith Urban took the stage at the Stardust Drive-In Movie Theater outside of Nashville, Tennessee to perform a special set for first responders amid the Covid-19 crisis.
      The music star performed the first-of-its-kind show for frontline workers tackling the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S., and told the crowd as he hit the stage, “To all of you guys here tonight, for everything that you’ve done, and continue to do, to all of your families, we say thank you – this concert is for all of you.”
      The private, unannounced show, which lasted over an hour, was set up exclusively for more than 200 doctors, nurses, emergency medical technicians, and staff from Vanderbilt Health, part of Vanderbilt University Medical Center, which has 140 locations throughout Tennessee and surrounding States.

      Over 100 workers, each isolated in their own vehicle showed up, honking their horns and flashing their lights throughout the performance.
      “I did this to say thanks to the healthcare workers who are putting their lives on the line for us every day,” said Urban, according to a press release. “And performing in this environment, with everyone in their cars at a safe distance from one another, seems like an amazing opportunity for everybody to just let go and have fun… and I’m a musician, I HAVE TO PLAY!”

      Urban, alongside Kelsea Ballerini and Morgan Evans, is billed to appear on the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday, in the latest of the iconic venue’s virtual shows.

      Nicole Kidman Serves as Keith Urban's Roadie During Second Impromptu Livestream Concert

      by

      Instagram

      A week after teaming up with his actress wife for a mini-concert, the Days Go By hitmaker dedicates his second Instagram Live concert to ‘all the healthcare workers’ and all of ‘first responders out there.’
      Mar 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Keith Urban staged another impromptu livestream concert on Monday evening (March 23), and asked his wife, Nicole Kidman, to help him promote it.
      The couple teamed up in the studio to perform a mini-concert last week (March 16), as musicians around the world began entertaining fans on lockdown with at-home gigs, and it appears they had so much fun, they wanted to do it again, dubbing the virtual show The Urban Underground.
      “Everyone seemed to love the home gig last week, so we’re back again,” the barefoot actress said in a video message she posted on her husband’s Instagram Live account minutes before the concert went live. “Well not me, I’m just a roadie, a fan, an audience…”
      Keith, who was strumming on a guitar next to his wife in their home studio, added, “Couldn’t do it without you, babe!”
      Nicole quickly signed off by saying, “Thank you to everyone and have some fun”, but then stayed in the studio, dancing and singing along to her husband’s music.

      The second Instagram Live concert aired on Urban’s account, @KeithUrban Instagram and he began the 30 minute show by dedicating the performance to “all the healthcare workers” and “all of you first responders out there” and adding, “We’re gonna try to bring a bit of sunshine into your screens wherever you are”.
      True to her promise, Nicole handed Keith guitars – like “the best roadie in the world” – as he completed songs like “Never Comin’ Down”, “You Gonna Fly”, and new tune “God Whispered Your Name”, and even sat at his feed for part of the gig, during which the singer paid tribute to the late Kenny Rogers by performing the country legend’s signature tune The Gambler, with his actress wife providing backing vocals.
      They weren’t the only ‘country’ couple teaming up to entertain fans online on Monday night – Garth Brooks and his wife, Trisha Yearwood, staged a joint virtual jam session as part of Brooks’ weekly Facebook series, Inside Studio G.

      The Brooks and Yearwood event appeared at www.facebook.com/GarthBrooks/.
      Meanwhile, Diplo, Finn Wittrock and Vanessa Carlton are among the livestreaming highlights available on Tuesday, March 24.
      Diplo and Ronatronix will team up for a DJ set, which will begin at 10 pm EST on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/diplo) and “Stranger Things” star Finn, who fronts new band The Aubreys, will host an at-home show on his Instagram Live account (https://www.instagram.com/finnwolfhardofficial) from 4pm EST.
      Singer/songwriter Carlton will continue her daily show, during which she performs two songs, on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/vanessacarltonactual) from 6 pm EST.
      Meanwhile, previous livestreamed Instagram and Instagram Live concerts staged by Miguel, Evanescence, Bastille, Jewel Kilcher, Rufus Wainwright, Juanes, and Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes are archived and available to view.

      by

      Keith Urban remains booked as host for the prizegiving that was originally set to take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on April 5, while its venue would be revealed soon.
      Mar 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The Academy of Country Music Awards (ACM) has been rescheduled for September after being delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
      Singer Keith Urban had been due to host the prizegiving at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on 5 April but, after U.S. President Donald Trump declared the Covid-19 outbreak a national emergency earlier this month, organisers decided to pull the plug on the event.
      It has since been confirmed that the show will now take place on 16 September with representatives from ACM and Dick Clark Productions adding that the venue would be revealed soon, along with an initial list of performers, reported Variety.
      The announcement indicates that the show may not take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, as it has for several years. However, 15-time ACM winner and recipient of the 2018 Entertainer of the Year honour Urban remains booked as host.

      Maren Morris and Thomas Rhett are among the top nominees for the ACMs, with five nods each.
