Keith Urban Performs At The 59th Annual CMA Awards Despite No Nominations
Keith Urban was part of the performance lineup for the 59th annual CMA Awards that took place on Wednesday night, November 19.
The ceremony, which aired live from Nashville, Tennessee, revealed its list of performers ahead of time.
Performances throughout the night included Kelsea Ballerini, BigXthaPlug, Brandi Carlile, Kenny Chesney, Luke Combs, Riley Green, Miranda Lambert, Ella Langley, Patty Loveless, Megan Moroney, Old Dominion, The Red Clay Strays, Shaboozey, Chris Stapleton, Zach Top, Tucker Wetmore, Lainey Wilson, Little Big Town, and Stephen Wilson Jr.
However, Urban’s participation came as a bit of a surprise for fans. He was revealed as an addition in the same update that shared the CMA presenters just days before the event.
It was even more of a shock to see Urban added, considering he wasn’t nominated for any of the show’s categories. In fact, the last time he received a CMA nomination was back in 2020.
Still, even without any nominations, seeing Urban take the CMA Awards stage was a big moment for fans since it’s something that doesn’t happen very often.
Viewers were also curious about what song he would perform. Ahead of the big night, the Country Music Association didn’t share that detail.
Keith Urban Performs “Where the Blacktop Ends” Live At The CMA Awards
It turns out the reason Urban’s song choice wasn’t announced before the live broadcast was because he was a special guest in Lainey Wilson’s opening performance!
Together, they sang part of Urban’s 1999 hit “Where the Blacktop Ends.”
Keeping everything under wraps was definitely worth it. Urban did not disappoint during his time on stage!

A shockwave ripped through Detroit when Alec Baldwin torched Jesse Watters during a live panel — mocking him, interrupting him, and even calling him “stupid” on-air. The room went silent. The clips went viral. And within hours, Baldwin’s world collapsed: five major sponsors gone overnight, wiping out an estimated $86 million in deals. But the real explosion hit when Watters fired back — a sharp, controlled strike that insiders say “changed the tone instantly.” Sources now confirm Baldwin is staring down a possible $50 million lawsuit — a legal hit that could eclipse the career damage entirely. Industry execs are calling this “one of the most aggressive responses Hollywood’s seen in years,” with political media circling the story like blood in the water. The backlash isn’t slowing, the stakes keep rising, and Baldwin’s team is scrambling to contain a fire that’s already blown past containment. This isn’t a feud anymore — it’s a full-scale meltdown with real consequences.
