In April, she performed alongside Urban in Las Vegas, where he changed the lyrics of his 2016 hit The Fighter\u2014originally written for wife Nicole Kidman\u2014into \u201cMaggie, I\u2019ll be your fighter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/kau0gCOcmpyC2eNJzNlXsg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/fox_news_text_979\/4729b88a48f24f884b0c242f2a31b0e7\" alt=\"Keith Urban changes Nicole Kidman-inspired lyric to name his guitarist  Maggie before divorce announcement\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fans quickly picked up on the moment, with clips circulating widely online.

Audience members at the special performances had the opportunity to decide which musicians will continue on to the next city.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/the-road-season-1-musicians-855x570.jpg\" alt=\"The Road cast\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI spent a lot of my underage life playing in some seedy pubs, sometimes just for the bartender. So I love the idea of throwing artists into a real-world environment to find out if they are artists,\u201d Urban said. \u201cPaying your dues sucks, but there are things in this business that can\u2019t be taught, like how to put together a set list, whether to extend or cut a song during your performance or how to work the crowd. For me, touring has always been my first love. It\u2019s where the rubber meets the road. But it\u2019s the only road to take if you want to be a performer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Road is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, Glasser\u2019s 101 Studios with Shelton and Metzger\u2019s Lucky Horseshoe Productions. Sheridan and Glasser serve as executive producers. Shelton and Metzger serve as executive producers for Lucky Horseshoe Productions.<\/p>\n<h2>When does The Road premiere?<\/h2>\n<p>The singing competition series is set to premiere during the fall 2025 season.
