Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman made for an unforgettable moment with their impromptu car performance of “The Fighter”, showcasing their couple’s undeniable chemistry and charm. The video, which quickly racked up millions of views on Urban’s YouTube channel, illustrates #CoupleGoals in every frame.
Her rendition of the song, originally a duet with Carrie Underwood from Urban’s album “Ripcord”, comes to life in this intimate setting. Despite a minor glitch with the car stereo, Urban smoothly transitions into the heartfelt chorus, while Kidman adds her own playful yet soulful touch to the performance.
In the video, Kidman channels a Disney princess expressing her love for her, complementing Urban’s charismatic presence. Their duet not only highlights their musical talent, but also cements their status as one of Australia’s most popular celebrity couples.
“The Fighter” was a fitting choice for their duet, as the lyrics about unwavering support in a relationship reflect a deep sense of Urban and Kidman’s own bond. Urban previously shared that the song was inspired by their relationship, adding a personal dimension to her heartfelt rendition.
Kidman’s vocals, while soft, are absolutely perfect, reflecting her musical prowess that she has shown in films like “Moulin Rouge!” and at live performances alongside Urban. Together they create a magical moment that captivates viewers and underlines why they are celebrated not only for their individual talents, but also for their beautiful partnership.
An Athlete Got Her Period During a Race and Responded to Critics With a Powerful Message
“Not the most flattering photo of Emma, surely they can crop it a little better,” commented Xavier Coppock on a post where the athlete is shown finishing a race with a bloodstained one-piece swimsuit. It was at that precise moment that a long debate ensued.
Emma Pallant-Browne is a British athlete who competes in triathlon, duathlon, and aquathlon events. Among her latest achievements, she won a silver medal at the 2022 World Long Distance Triathlon Championships. In the prestigious Ironman 70.3 competition, she won 2 medals (silver in 2017 and bronze in 2022) and a gold medal at the European Championship in the same year.
In her latest multi-sport challenge, Emma finished fourth. The PTO Tour European Open in Ibiza was held just days after she won the Duathlon World Championship.
On the other hand, Xavier Coppock is another triathlete who decided to comment on a photo of Emma that had been published on the official profile of the competition that took place in Spain. Among the images, she is shown running with a red stain on her swimsuit due to her period.
Although we believe that the athlete’s comment was not made with ill intentions, his words caused a stir online. For her part, Emma was quick to respond. In the same forum, she tagged him and dedicated a few lines to him.
5 days later, the athlete uploaded the same photo to her profile. In the description, she sent an important message. “Celebrating the amazing women in sport and the equally amazing men who champion them. Humbled by the number of messages I’ve had from both men and women about the unglamorous reality of racing on your period,” she began.
In the post, she explained the factors that contributed to this situation. Her light pink outfit was chosen so as not to attract the sun’s rays, and she rolled over her bike, making the stain more visible. She squirted water at the hydration stations, but it failed to remove the stain.
“This is a women’s sport and the more barriers we can break, the better. After a long career, you end up with a photo like this, but the idea of editing it means there is something wrong with it. I share it because there’s really nothing wrong with it, it’s a natural thing,” she said.
“So if you have a photo like this, save it, cherish it, and remember how you performed on a tough day because one day you might just be able to help someone else with it,” she concluded in her powerful message.
The original post was deleted, but we still have Emma’s, which she posted on her profile. This athlete gave us a lot to talk about — she managed to turn a small comment into an empowering message regarding menstruation. It gave us pause and made us think about the natural things we should stop turning into taboos.
