Nicole Kidman gave a shout-out to her husband, Keith Urban, for spending his birthday giving back to those in need.
On Saturday, Nicole and Keith attended the Concert for Carolina at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, to help raise funds for relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
The benefit concert featured headliners Luke Combs and Eric Church and included performances by Keith, Bailey Zimmerman, Scotty McCreery, James Taylor and Sheryl Crow, among others.
The event raised $24.5 million, according to The Charlotte Observer.
The evening also saw Nicole making a surprise appearance onstage to celebrate her husband’s 57th birthday.
But first, she helped Keith welcome Church to the stage.
“[We’re] here with all of you tonight because of Eric giving Keith a call,” Nicole told the crowd. “I do want to say it’s his birthday tonight. … And he wanted to be here with you. So here we go. Eric Church called him and here we are.”
Earlier in October Eric and Luke, both North Carolina natives, opened up about their Concert for Carolina benefit concert, which aimed at helping communities recover in the wake of Hurricane Helene.
Eric told Good Morning America that this cause is so important to him because, “It’s very simply who I am: North Carolina-made.”
Meanwhile, Luke told GMA that after seeing the devastation Helene left in its wake, Eric was “the first guy I called.”
“I know how much our state means to him, and to myself, and I knew that he would be willing to do whatever it took to help out,” he continued.
