In a captivating return to Saturday Night Live (SNL), Grammy-winning country star Kacey Musgraves stole the spotlight with two spellbinding performances, showcasing songs from her highly anticipated upcoming album, “Deeper Well.”
The 35-year-old singer-songwriter, appearing as the musical guest for the third time on SNL, graced the stage barefoot, exuding an ethereal presence as she opened the show with a soul-stirring rendition of the title track, “Deeper Well.” Dressed in a blue and white patchwork jacket dress, Musgraves’ performance left the audience in awe.
Introduced by the evening’s host, Sydney Sweeney, Musgraves seamlessly transitioned to her second song, “Too Good to Be True,” delivering a flawless performance in a chic blue dress with a striking asymmetric hemline and knee-high boots. The emotionally charged ballad resonated with the crowd, further showcasing Musgraves’ versatile musical prowess.
However, the night wasn’t without a moment of surprise when Musgraves later took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal a wardrobe malfunction. In a post-show revelation, she admitted to forgetting to remove a clip from her hair, which became apparent during a hug with Sweeney. Despite the hiccup, fans praised Musgraves for her poise and professionalism.
The SNL appearance marked a significant milestone for Musgraves, serving as a prelude to the release of her sixth studio album, “Deeper Well,” set to drop on March 15th via MCA Nashville / Interscope. The album, recorded at New York’s iconic Electric Lady Studios, promises a musical journey inspired by the energy of Greenwich Village.
In a press release earlier this year, Musgraves shared her excitement about the upcoming album, describing it as “an honest excavation of my own transformation” over the past few years. She expressed a desire to create a multi-sensorial experience that fosters self-discovery and connection to the natural world.
Fans eagerly anticipating Musgraves’ 2024 tour can mark their calendars, as tickets are set to go on sale starting Friday, March 8th, via Ticketmaster. The North American leg of the tour will feature support from acclaimed artists Father John Misty, Lord Huron, and Nickel Creek.
As Musgraves continues to evolve in her musical journey, her latest SNL appearance serves as a testament to her enduring talent and ability to captivate audiences with heartfelt performances. With “Deeper Well” just around the corner, fans are gearing up for a new chapter in the artist’s illustrious career.
