AceShowbiz - Kacey Musgraves, 36, faced a surprising and uncomfortable moment during a concert stop in Tampa. The "Butterflies" songstress was walking amongst the crowd when a fan grabbed her, forcing her to stop in her tracks and mouth, "What the f***?" towards the fan before heading back to the stage. The incident quickly went viral on TikTok, sparking reactions from her audience and fans.
The following night, while performing at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, Kacey addressed the incident, saying, "Last night - this Tampa b***h..." The crowd erupted into boos, prompting her to continue, "I know. She kind of ruined it. She kind of ruined it for everybody." She humorously added, "I thought I was gonna have to get real East Texas on her. Take off my earrings," and joked, "Um, well Florida goes hard."
Continuing her "Deeper Well" World Tour, Musgraves is wrapping up the final dates, including stops in Orlando, Charlotte, and a two-night performance in Nashville. This tour supports her sixth studio album, which dropped in March. Her tour included international performance highlights in cities like Dublin, Amsterdam, and London.
Musgraves has been vocal about the extensive work and passion she poured into putting together the show. During an interview with Vogue, she expressed, "So much work has gone into putting this show together. It is crazy to see what started as a small, tiny seed of a song expand into this multi-sensory experience." She cherished the energy exchange between her and her fans, calling it a fortune to perform.
The tour featured opening acts like Madi Diaz, Lord Huron, Nickel Creek, and Father John Misty. Speaking with Variety, she mentioned her vision for the concert series, "I wanted to create a musical moment that felt like a little mini-festival that I personally would want to go to."
Kacey also opened up about her personal growth and the inspiration behind her "Deeper Well" album, released four months after her split from Cole Schafer. Reflecting on the lyrics and themes of her music, she revealed in an interview with People, "Ultimately, the song sums up where I'm at in my mid-30s and really evaluating what love means to me."
Recently, Kacey dazzled at the 58th Annual CMA Awards in Nashville, earning three nominations, including Album of the Year for Deeper Well. She stunned in a fitted denim dress with rhinestone embellishments and feathery details, capturing fully the essence of her transformation and reflective journey.
