Keith Urban Releases 'Dancer's Version' of 'The Figher' Video

Keith Urban’s new music video has inspired the world to get up and dance.

The country Aussie dropped the original video for “The Fighter,” his duet with Carrie Underwood, earlier this year, and now he’s releasing an alternate version starring the video’s original dancer alongside a male dancer, who happens to be her real-life boyfriend.

“The idea was that we’d just do this incredible dance for the song and we would edit it and then Carrie and I would perform and put it all together. When we put it all together, we found that it worked great with Lindsay dancing, but every time the two of them were together, Lindsay and Lyle, you just wanted to see them for the whole video,” he says. “So we decided we would shoot a video with just the two of them from beginning to end.”

Perhaps that decision was inspired by the “Cody Cut” on “The Fighter” video, featuring our very own host getting jiggy with it to the country collaboration. 

Cody and Carrie performed the song together--minus Cody--on the recent ACM Awards.
