Keith Urban Raves About Taylor Swift's 'Extraordinary' Talent, His Ariana Grande 'Obsession' Ahead Of Vegas Residency
Country star Keith Urban gushes over Taylor Swift's talent and admits to his Ariana Grande obsession as he announces his two part High in Vegas residency.
Keith Urban is a fanboy through and through!
The country singer, 56, who spoke to People after announcing his Las Vegas residency, reiterated that he has long been a Swiftie; however, he's just run out of appropriate adjectives to describe the Blank Space singer's immense talent. Gushing about the songstress’ latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, Urban told the outlet that her songwriting is nothing less than “extraordinary” and “she's such a great, great writer. So this new album is just more proof of that in really great ways.”
Not only is Urban a Swiftie, but he is also a huge fan of Ariana Grande, as he revealed in the same conversation with the publication above. The One Too Many singer, equating Grande’s latest single, We Can't Be Friends, to drugs, said, “I don't know what is going on with that song, but I cannot stop playing it. It's like audible heroin. I have to have another hit. I play that thing over and over and over.”
'She Doesn't Sound Like Anyone' - Keith Urban about Ariana Grande
Serendipitously for Urban, the singer had the opportunity to watch Ariana's We Can't Be Friends live at the Met Gala on May 6, which he attended alongside his wife, Nicole Kidman. The duo, at the event, looked evergreen as ever in coordinated black and white Balenciaga ensembles. 
Heaping praise on Ariana, Urban told People he's always liked her because she doesn't sound like anyone else.
"It's like Taylor. I like singers that you know their voice immediately, and there’s a lot of other singers that sound like them, but they don't sound like anyone,” he added.
Additionally, per Urban, the Thank You, Next singer is a phenomenal writer and producer.
