Keith Urban says his daughters were more excited to get a text from Taylor Swift than he was

Keith Urban says his kids were most excited to get a text from Taylor Swift to be on her rerecorded album Fearless.

The 53-year-old singer is featured on two songs on Fearless (Taylor’s Version) entitled We Were Happy and That’s When, but suggested that his daughters – Sunday, 12, and Faith, 10, whom he shares with wife Nicole Kidman – were happy their father had contact with the Bad Blood hitmaker, as they are ‘big Taylor Swift fans’.

Keith said, “They were just thrilled that Dad got a text from Taylor Swift.

The star also revealed he was doing last-minute Christmas shopping in Australia when Taylor asked him to appear on the album, which she released last week as part of the process of re-recording her old material in a row on her master recordings.

Speaking on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, Keith recalled, “ I’m at the mall doing my Christmas shopping and I get a text from Taylor saying, ‘I’ve got these few songs that I want you to sing to, do will you hear them? And I said, ‘Certainly’.

So she sends me these songs and I’m sitting in the mall food court listening to these two unreleased Taylor Swift songs.

“It was an unusual place to hear unreleased Taylor Swift music, but I love the songs and luckily was able to put a voice on both.”

Meanwhile, Nicole recently revealed that she often gives Keith and the kids pedicures.

The Big Little Lies actress said, ‘Keith is a pretty low maintenance guy.

But sometimes I treat my whole family to a spa day and massage their feet and give them pedicures. I will be using the Seratopical Heel Souffle on them and on myself at night. It’s fluffy and has a great texture. Then I put on my bed socks and wake up with the softest feet. I am so glamorous. ‘
