Musgraves’ ongoing tour is in support of her sixth album ‘Deeper Well’. In a three-star review of the LP, NME shared that the record “vibrates with the excitement of a fresh start”. It continues, sharing that the singer “lives in a state of suspended animation, reeling out self-care mantras without worrying if they will seem embarrassing years later. Relationships and stoner jokes have preoccupied the 35-year-old’s work since the beginning – “I ain’t pageant material / I’m always higher than my hair”, she sang in 2015 – but here, she posits a way out from both: moving on and never looking back.”

In other news, Musgraves and Nickel Creek treated fans to an acoustic live cover of SZA’s ‘Kill Bill’ earlier this year.
