Keith Urban Fans Are Way Different in Australia Than America – This Proves it (Exclusive)

Being from Australia himself, things feel a lot different when Keith Urban goes back home — and according to his tour opener, his Australian fans aren’t quite the same as his American ones.

Chase Matthew, Urban’s opener on his High and Alive Tour, sat down with Evan Paul on Taste of Country Nights, where he was asked what it’s like to be in Australia with Urban.

Matthew said "Its Keith Urban, first off, he's royalty over there."

Not to say the “Somebody Like You” singer isn’t an A-lister in America, but there’s no shortage of A-list celebrities within our borders.

The “Darlin’” singer went on to describe Urban’s Australian fans: “You walk through the airport in Australia, and people are like, ‘Are y’all a band?’ They’re like, ‘What’s your band?’ We’re like, ‘Chase Matthew,’ and they’re like, ‘Oh, okay.’”

He noted that people don’t really care who he is in Australia until he says, “We’re with Keith Urban.” Then, he added, “They’re like, ‘Oh my God, oh my God, what’s he like? What’s Nicole Kidman like?’ It’s like, dude, people freak out.”

Matthew joked that he thinks he “gained new fans strictly because people assume I’m good friends with Keith Urban — they’re like, ‘Oh, he knows Keith!’”

That said, if Matthew walked around Nashville holding his guitar, he’d probably be recognized. He already has a No. 1 hit song to his name and has toured not only with Urban but also with Jason Aldean.
