Here's what we learned from opening night of KaceyMusgraves' Star-Crossed tour from the setlist to costume changes:
got the night started with the kind of IDGAF energy Musgraves herself exudes, particularly when it comes to sexuality. Both acts are openly queer, continuing Musgraves’ outward support of the LGBTQ+ community .
In light of Kacey’s musical roots, each opener even brought a little bit of country flair. MUNA delivered a couple acoustic guitar-driven, country-tinged tunes, including a never-before-heard track. While King Princess stuck to their punk-laced pop, they shouted out one of Musgraves’ idols mid-set: “Happy birthday, Dolly Parton!”If you’ve been to a Kacey show before , you know she’s not afraid to say whatever comes to mind.
Even so, some of the show’s most moving parts came with the least amount of theatrics. Musgraves sang “hookup scene” at the stage’s center , only backed by acoustic guitar and harmonies from three of her band members. That story inspired her to bring Kaceyoke back, this time on stage. She had a fan in the pit choose from a list of songs Musgraves revealed on a scroll , which included “Killing Me Softly,” “Dreams,” “Blinding Lights,” and “No Scrubs” — ultimately landing on TLC’s 1999 Hot 100-topper.
