A Surprise Duet at Keith Urban’s Cincinnati Show
Fans attending Keith Urban’s High and Alive World Tour stop in Cincinnati, Ohio, were in for a huge surprise when rising country artist Britnee Kellogg joined Urban on stage. Together, they delivered a show-stopping duet of Urban’s 2013 hit with Miranda Lambert, “We Were Us.”
Originally written by Jon Nite, Jimmy Robbins, and Nicolle Galyon, the nostalgic track captures the bittersweet memories of young love and the ache of longing for simpler times. On stage, Kellogg seamlessly stepped into Lambert’s role, her powerhouse vocals blending effortlessly with Urban’s signature sound and fiery guitar riffs. The crowd erupted as the two united on the chorus, their harmonies carrying a raw mix of passion and nostalgia.
How the Collaboration Came to Be
Kellogg revealed that her unexpected moment with Urban stemmed from their collaboration on his upcoming CBS competition series, The Road — created by Urban alongside Blake Shelton.
“One of the producers of The Road reached out to me to connect me with Keith’s team about performing at a show on the tour to promote the show, and I immediately freaked out,” Kellogg shared. “Working with Keith on the show was such a huge honor, so being asked to sing with him was just a pinch-me moment.”
For Kellogg, the night was deeply emotional.
“I felt at home, and every time I looked at him he just seemed so proud,” she said. “It was surreal. I could see my daughter’s face screaming, ‘Go mommy!’ What a feeling to know her first concert was Keith Urban featuring her mama.”
Urban introduced her to the audience warmly, saying she was “someone you guys don’t know yet—but you will.” He added that Kellogg was the first contestant from The Road to make a live pop-up appearance during his tour — with more surprise collaborations expected.
Fan Support and Gratitude
After sharing a clip of the duet online, Kellogg was overwhelmed by fans’ support.
“The comments have had me in a puddle since I posted the video,” she said. “I’ve been pursuing this dream since I was six years old, so to continue receiving love and support is something I will never take for granted.”
Her heartfelt post also included photos of her family meeting Urban backstage — a full-circle moment for the aspiring country star.
About The Road — Keith Urban’s New CBS Series
