Maggie Baugh is sparking online discussion with the release of her latest song, The devil winswhich arrives amid speculation about her rumored hookup with Keith Urban.
The 25-year-old musician teased the emotional track on Instagram on Thursday, October 9, posting a short video of herself singing heartfelt lyrics that many believe speak to her current state of mind.
“I don’t know what I believe in / I don’t know how to heal my soul / Or how to fight this feeling and it’s a damn good place to go / No matter how close I get to the burning edge / No matter how tempting it is, I won’t let the devil win,” she sang.
The full song will be released on Friday, October 10 at midnight.
Baugh revealed for the first time The devil wins on Oct. 8 after teasing that she had an “announcement coming soon.”
The song marks her return to social media after weeks of controversy surrounding her rumored engagement with Urban, 57, following his divorce from wife Nicole Kidman.
Speculation began after Baugh joined Urban on stage at his September 25 concert in Chicago to perform his hit The Fighter.
During the show, Urban changed the song’s lyrics from “If they try to reach you, baby, I’ll be the fighter” to “If they try to reach you, Maggie, I’ll be your guitarist.”
At one point he also appeared to point at Baugh as he sang, “I was born to love you.”
Baugh later shared the clip of the performance on Instagram, writing: “Did he just say that.”
The post went viral shortly after news broke that Urban and Kidman, 58, had split after 19 years of marriage.
We weekly confirmed the breakup on September 29, with Kidman filing for divorce the next day, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
Amid growing rumors, Baugh’s father, Chuck Baugh, has publicly dismissed claims that his daughter played a role in the couple’s divorce.
“NO. Just no,” he wrote on Facebook on October 5 in response to a viral TikTok suggesting Maggie could be involved.
Urban has since returned to the stage and will perform at the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania on October 2.
Although he wasn’t wearing his wedding ring, a photo of Kidman and their daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, was still featured in a slideshow during his song. Heart like a hometown.
Baugh did not attend the Hershey concert and Urban did not perform The Fighter since the controversy.
The country star and Kidman, who tied the knot in 2006 after meeting at the G’Day USA gala the year before, have not yet publicly addressed the rumors.
