Keith Urban Apologizes for Accidental Reveal of Phoebe Bridgers’ New Romance

Written by Peter Burditt

In a time where private moments can so quickly turn public with the click of a button, it’s understandable to see celebrities become susceptible to the flaws of tabloid media. Though, Keith Urban surprisingly shows us that these flaws don’t just always come from some crazed paparazzi. 

On May 15, Urban posted a video on TikTok with his wife, Nicole Kidman, dancing at the Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Philadelphia concert. The controversy regarding the video arises from the unintentional reveal of singer Phoebe Bridgers’ relationship with Emmy and Grammy-nominated comedian Bo Burnham: as the video actively shows the two sharing a kiss. 

Luckily, Urban was highly apologetic about the mishap, as he said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, “Phoebe, I’m so sorry” and “it felt very awkward.” 

Urban elaborated on the accident. “I was just digging on the concert!” he explained to the publication. “You never know what’s going to happen.” Regardless, Urban was not using Swift’s lively performance as an excuse; because he made it clear that he still “felt bad” for the incident. 

Bridgers and Burnham have been speculatively dating since earlier this year, thanks to the two being spotted in LA on multiple occasions. Nevertheless, neither has yet to comment on the matter nor their relationship status. 

That being so, it makes sense why the two were seen at the concert together, given that Bridgers has been opening for various Swift concerts on her recent tour. Bridgers opened at Swift’s show at Nissan Stadium in Nashville on May 5. 

Despite Urban’s inadvertent reveal of Bridgers and Burnham’s intimate moment, it’s safe to say that the video reveals one thing: the two couples were having a good time. Urban attests to this sentiment by saying the concert was “so fun” and that Swift will “be among the greatest songwriters period…when it’s all said and done.”
