Keith Urban gave 100 percent during his performance Sunday at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas.
Urban’s performance was a mashup of his two most recent monster hits, “Blue Ain’t Your Color” and “The Fighter.” Set to look like black-and-white film with just a few strategically placed pops of blue, Keith delivered a tender and heartfelt rendition of an abbreviated version of “Blue.”

Then, as quickly as the wind switched in Vegas, the Aussie country superstar began picking out the recognizable opening of "The Fighter." With a lighting change that punched up the energy, Urban kicked into the up tempo anthem for love and, on cue, Carrie Underwood appeared behind him, silhouetted in the flashing lights.
Urban was having such a great time that he lost himself in the lyrics for a moment. In the second verse, as he sang, “Look in the mirror, you’re beautiful, so beautiful,” he looked at Underwood, whom he has said is like a sister to him and said, “You really are.”

Underwood, who always seems to set the bar high for having fun in concert, was working every strand of her glittering fringe dress she wore.
But there was someone who was having at least as much fun as Urban and Underwood at the show. Mrs. Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman, sang and danced in the aisle with her pal, Faith Hill.
