Keith Urban’s guitarist Maggie Baugh has sung about trying to ‘fight’ feelings as romance rumors continue to swirl.
The 26-year-old musician has been caught up in the media storm following the news of Urban and estranged wife Nicole Kidman’s high-profile divorce after her onstage rapport with the artist raised eyebrows.
On Thursday, Baugh shared a sneak peek into her new song, The Devil Win, which included lyrics that referenced an internal struggle and self-doubt.
In the track, which she shared on social media, she sang: ‘I don’t know what the hell I believe in / I don’t know how to heal my soul / Or how to fight this feeling and it’s a damn good place to go.’
She added: ‘No matter how close I get to the burning edge / Tempting as it is, I won’t let the Devil win.’
The music teaser ignited a largely positive response online with fans desperate to hear more.
‘Love these lyrics!’ one replied. ‘Can’t wait to hear the whole song!’
Another said: ‘Keep doing Maggie and drown out the noise! We love you and support you.’
‘This sounds amazing, looking forward to hearing the full song,’ continued a third.
Hollywood actress Kidman, 58, filed for divorce from Urban, 57, on September 30.
In the wake of their split news, past clips have resurfaced of his onstage antics with guitarist Baugh, fueling romance rumors about them.
One video showed him pointing to the musician as he sang: ‘I was born to love you’ in Las Vegas, while another was of him changing his lyric: ‘Baby I’ll be the fighter,’ to: ‘Maggie, I’ll be your guitar player,’ during a show in Chicago.
Urban and Baugh first met last year when he invited her to perform with him during the CMT Music Awards.
He then asked her to join him as a utility guitarist.
In April, she opened up about teaming up with the country star an interview with Pittsburgh Music Magazine.
‘Working with Urban was like going to rock star school. He is a musical encyclopedia,’ she told the outlet.
Baugh was notably not a part of Urban’s Pennsylvania concert last week.
TMZ claimed she is not a full-time member of the band as she was just stepping in for guitarist Natalie Stovall.
The rising country music star moved from Florida to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue a career in music when she was just 18, but she had been putting out music long before then.
‘I put out my very first record when I was 13 years old,’ she told The Hamilton County Reporter last month.
‘I’m actually from south Florida and it’s a festival season all year round in south Florida, so I toured a lot there.
‘I started touring at the bigger venues and all the way up and down the state and up into Virginia. Then when I was 18 years old, I moved to Nashville and started touring a bunch.’
Baugh shot to fame via her TikTok series, Finish the Lick, in which she showed off her proficiency on multiple instruments.
Her talented videos garnered her more than 40 million views.
Baugh released her first two singles, Think About Me and Drinking to the Broken Hearts, in 2021. She followed up those two tracks, with four more singles in 2022.
She released her debut album, Dear Me, last year.
