Throughout the evening, Urban also took to the stage for two standout performances. The first was a collaboration with Country Music Hall of Famer Ricky Skaggs and his band Kentucky Thunder, where they performed a spirited version of “Highway 40 Blues.” Later, Urban returned for a solo performance of his song “Never Comin’ Down,” which had the crowd energized and dancing in their seats. During this high-energy moment, he shared a sweet surprise—leading the audience in a chorus of “Happy Birthday” for Kidman, who had just turned 51. The tender gesture added a personal touch to an already unforgettable night.
Urban’s win and performances not only showcased his talent and dedication to his craft but also highlighted the strong support system that has helped shape his journey. With Kidman cheering him on every step of the way, the evening became more than just an awards show—it was a celebration of partnership, perseverance, and passion for music.
As cameras flashed and fans applauded, Nicole Kidman’s glowing smile remained a constant throughout the night—a symbol of unwavering support and shared success in the spotlight.
