‘He Does Look Sad’: Keith Urban & Nicole Kidman’s Red Carpet Photos at the 2025 ACM Awards Fuel Online Buzz
The country crooner and his actress wife stepped out in style for the big night, though one of them, netizens noted, didn’t seem entirely happy.
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman attended the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards on May 8, 2025, at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. Their polished red carpet appearance turned heads, but it was Urban’s unusually subdued demeanor that quickly became a focal point online.
Wearing complementary black ensembles, the couple posed with ease. The 57-year-old musician donned a pinstripe suit and open-collared shirt, his tousled hair and light stubble completing the look.

Kidman, 57, stood beside him in a sleeveless black dress with a leather-like finish, the fitted silhouette emphasizing her tall frame. Her straight, middle-parted blonde hair framed a soft smile as she rested a hand on Urban’s chest, offering a calm, affectionate contrast to his more reserved look.
The contrast between her composed warmth and his quieter demeanor didn’t go unnoticed by netizens. “Keith looks sad in this photo. Look at his eyes,” one commented. Another simply agreed, “He does look sad.”
Criticism also surfaced, with one remarking, “Can not stand her [sic].” Others offered a more positive take with a supporter describing them as a “Beautiful and HAPPY couple…[sic]”
