Keith Urban Tells Fans To Stop Reading Into His Passionate “You’ll Think Of Me” Performance: “I’ve Sung It Like This For A Long Time”

Setting the record straight. Earlier this month, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman filled headlines when news broke they were separated. TMZ reported the two had been living apart since the beginning of summer when Keith moved out. Sources tell the news outlet that Nicole has been taking care of their two children and is “holding the family together through this difficult time since Keith has been gone.” The source added that Kidman was trying her hardest to save the marriage, making Urban’s decision to move out one-sided. While many fans hoped they would find their way back to each other, they were heartbroken when news broke that Kidman had officially filed for divorce from the country star, which was first reported by TMZ and later confirmed by People. Since the divorce, there has been some back-and-forth between the two parties about who feels hurt and who has allegedly already moved on. The rumor mill has been swirling that Urban has moved on, and internet “FBI agents” are now reading into everything surrounding their split. One moment that stirred up a lot of conversation came from his Virginia show, where he tweaked the lyrics of “You’ll Think of Me.” While singing the chorus, Urban added a line that has fans convinced he’s referencing the end of his relationship with Kidman: “Take your records, take your freedom Take your memories, I don’t need them Take your space and your bullsh** reasons But you’ll think of me And take your cat and leave my sweater ‘Cause we have nothing left to weather In fact I’ll feel a whole lot better But you’ll think of me….” Typically, the line that he changed is “Take your space and take your reasons,” so it’s a very slight change. @rtthebest1 #keithurban #keithurbanconcert #virginia #nicolekidman #highandaliveworldtour ♬ original sound – rtthebest It did not take long for folks online to jump to conclusions, commenting things like: “Wow- he’s angry.. His ex-wife clearly got the good hair straightener in the divorce.” “Keith Urban crashing out on stage was not on my 2025 Bingo card.” “Orrrrrrrr….. hear me out. He’s a selfish narcissist addict. Who is trying to re write the narrative.” “Recovering addict here. I think he’s relapsed, that crash out looks fueled by something else.” Then other social media users pointed out that he has been singing “You’ll Think Of Me” with a fiery passion for years. “HE HAS SANG THESE LINES AT EVERY SHOW THE LAST 20 YEARS “ “For reference: he has literally sang this extra verse for 15 years!” And those users are not wrong. Urban has always gotten into character when performing this tune. While, of course, his fiery passion might be fueled a little bit by what’s going on in his personal life, however, it’s not driving his choice to theatrically lean into the lyrics. Because of the chatter online after this show, Keith Urban decided to address the viral moment during his recent show in Nashville. The Australian urged his fans to not read into online rumors surrounding his divorce, but specifically on stage moments where he’s in character. “I’ve song it like this for a long time. Stop reading s*** into it. It’s called ‘You’ll Think Of Me.'” Amen to that. The internet loves to act like it knows what’s going on in famous folks’ personal lives, and this is a reminder to not believe everything you see online.

Urban was singing this heartbreak anthem while happily married to Nicole for years, and recorded it long before he met her. While it’s heartbreaking these two are no longer a couple, “You’ll Think Of Me” is a mega hit for Urban and fans would be upset if he did not perform it in his set. Despite what’s going on in his personal life, Urban has remained the top notch entertainer he has always been. Part of the job of being in the entertainment business is to sell the words you are singing… he’s doing just that.The post Keith Urban Tells Fans To Stop Reading Into His Passionate “You’ll Think Of Me” Performance: “I’ve Sung It Like This For A Long Time” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
