The country music world is buzzing about the latest hit duet, "The Fighter," by Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban. But not everyone is singing its praises. The song has been met with backlash from traditional country music fans, who claim it's not country enough. Now, Keith Urban is speaking out, defending his collaboration and challenging the notion that country music should stay stuck in the past.

Keith Urban, never one to shy away from pushing boundaries, is not letting the backlash dampen his enthusiasm for "The Fighter." He boldly defends the song, arguing that it reflects a progressive vision of country music that embraces evolution and innovation.
