Kacey Musgraves is happy to take her sad divorce record on the road, starting in St. Paul
]
On top of all the renewed worry about COVID, Kacey Musgraves faces what seems like another daunting hurdle heading into her tour this week: singing the ultra-personal, heartbreak-filled songs off her latest album night after night.
Like a Texan caught in a squall, though, the Grammy-winning country-turned-pop singer is shrugging off the latter concern — and a lot of other headline-making news related to her 2021 record “Star-Crossed.”
“I’m in a happy place now,” she said firmly. “I’m comfortable sharing the pain, and showing I got through it.”
“Comfort” was the word du jour as the East Texas native talked by phone two weeks ago on a day when snow pelted her Nashville home — a scene she relished.
“I’ll be ready for you,” she quipped to the journalist in Minnesota, which somehow wound up being the spot she chose to launch her tour in mid-January.
Musgraves, 33, returns Wednesday to St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center, the same venue where she had her breakthrough gig in the Twin Cities, opening for Harry Styles in 2018 just as her album “Golden Hour” arrived. (“It was such a good feeling being embraced by Harry’s fans,” she remembered.)
Loaded with the clever wordplay, small-town agitation and self-deprecating humor that permeated her two previous albums — 2013’s “Follow Your Arrow” ranks among the top 5 country radio hits of the past decade — “Golden Hour” traded Musgraves’ rootsier country sound for synth-tinged dance-pop and up-tempo, Southern California-breezy twang-pop.
The musical change-up worked like a charm. “Golden Hour” got picked up by pop and adult-contemporary radio stations on its way to being named the Grammys’ album of the year in 2019.
“I don’t like to feel I have to serve any one particular entity or person’s taste when I go in to make a song,” Musgraves said of her sonic progression. “If it feels good to me, I go with it, and hopefully I’m not the only one who likes it.”
She followed that gut instinct in making “Star-Crossed.” Released in September, the 15-song collection was written and recorded with the same Nashville collaborators as “Golden Hour.” The big difference this time around was the emotional tone of the songs.
“Star-Crossed” follows Musgraves’ divorce from singer/songwriter Ruston Kelly after 2½ years of marriage. “It simply didn’t work,” the musical couple said in a joint statement, adding that they were “put into each other’s lives for a divine reason” and “have both changed infinitely for the better.”
Many of the songs on the album follow a similar no-love-lost, lessons-learned attitude. From the balladic, Spanish-guitar-infused title track, which opens the LP, to the slow-rambling single “Justified,” Musgraves more often sings about her own guilt and mixed emotions than those of her ex.
“Moving onwards, feeling strong, but healing doesn’t happen in a straight line,” she sings in “Justified.”
Musgraves said the “moving onwards” line will be at the core of her upcoming performances — which, she pledged, “will be uplifting.”
“I really believe that this chapter of my life deserves a platform, and it’s something a lot of listeners will connect to,” she said.
“I’m leading with the fact that healing is not linear, and you need to learn to depend on yourself, learn to depend on your friends. There was a lot of exploring myself spiritually, and getting a lot closer to whatever God is throughout this process.”
She promised to drop in a lot of the “Golden Hour” songs “to lighten things up,” but she also emphasized that the new songs aren’t entirely filled with heartache.
“There’s a lot of love on the album, too,” she said. “It is a divorce record, but there’s a lot of love and admiration and reflection on the experience I had with this person. Just because it didn’t last forever, it doesn’t take away the beauty that it did have at one point.”
Time to ‘de-stress’
While she believes everyone in the crowd can relate to the messages — “especially after what we’ve all been through the past couple years,” she said — Musgraves singled out “Good Wife” as one song that’s “definitely been more a favorite among women.”
Lyrics include: “God, help me be a good wife ‘cause he needs me / Even when he’s not right he still needs me.”
“That song was sort of a funny little prayer,” she explained, “a little nod to myself being newly married and in over my head and not really knowing the way to support somebody unconditionally. It’s hard.”
Upon releasing “Star-Crossed,” Musgraves found her support in the country music industry to be far from unconditional. The album got scant attention from country radio and was even deemed ineligible in the country categories of the (currently postponed) Grammy Awards — never mind that “Golden Hour” was just as un-twangy and won those same categories in 2019.
You could chalk up these perceived snubs to sexism, given “Star-Crossed’s” more feminist tone (“I really couldn’t say if that’s the case,” is all Musgraves said), but she isn’t sweating them.
“I already have six Grammys, so I can’t really complain,” she said. “It gets dicey in this day and age when you’re trying to break down and dissect what kind of music an album is. Some of my favorite artists are kind of genreless.
“Really, what matters most to me at the end of the day is that I wrote songs that feel authentic to me, whatever category they get put in.”
After already waiting four months to perform these songs on tour, Musgraves said she didn’t want to delay any longer, even with the rise of COVID’s omicron variant.
“We have the vaccines, booster shots and masks to protect ourselves, and I think people know by now what they’re comfortable with,” she said. (Side note: St. Paul’s new citywide mandate for vaccine/test documentation and masks at indoor events goes into effect Wednesday.)
“I think we can all use a night out to de-stress a little,” she added.
Besides finishing “Star-Crossed,” Musgraves said she spent the long months of lockdown taking pottery classes (“It feels super-meditative”) and working on her Spanish-speaking skills. She shows off the latter work on the album-closing cover of Violeta Parra’s “Gracias a la Vida,” a dramatic ballad that Musgraves described as “an ode to experiencing life and everything terrible and beautiful.”
She also settled into her new home and wrote a lot of songs in recent months. Asked what her next record might sound like, Musgraves wouldn’t go into detail — but did share probably the most important detail.
“Just an inkling here,” she said with an audible wink, “but I think it’ll be a lot happier.”

What Is Kacey Musgraves’ Song ‘Simple Times’ About?
]
Kacey Musgraves made music history with her latest album release and corresponding Paramount Plus original film. Star-Crossed told the story of the artist’s relationship, featuring songs like “Camera Roll” and “Justified.”
Here’s what we know about the meaning behind Musgraves’ song “Simple Times.”

Hot off of the heels of her Amazon Prime special The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show, this country-pop artist debuted her 2021 release, Star-Crossed.
The full-length album was accompanied by a Paramount Plus original film of the same title. The movie told the album’s story, complete with a three-act structure and corresponding visuals for each song. There were several celebrity appearances and iconic fashion moments.
“It is a wicked, twisty road,” Musgraves said during an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. “There may or may not be a decapitation at some point in the film.”
What is the meaning behind Kacey Musgraves’ ‘Simple Times’ and the ‘Simple Times’ music video?
One of the most popular tracks from Star-Crossed is “Simple Times,” which currently holds over 11 million plays on the streaming platform Spotify. Along with the official music videos for “Justified” and “Star-Crossed,” Musgraves posted a video for “Simple Times” to YouTube.
In the production, Musgraves and her friends hang out at an abandoned mall, complete with brightly colored outfits and matching hairstyles.
The people chosen for Musgraves’ squad included Haunting of Bly Manor’s Victoria Pedretti, Princess Nokia, and RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Symone. There are some different fan interpretations regarding the “Simple Times” imagery.
“Going to the mall was a popular past-time for young teenagers during the early 2000s,” one fan noted on Genius. “Musgraves would have been 12 going into 2000, just on the cusp of teenagerhood, so it makes sense that being at the mall would remind her of her teenage years.”
The YouTube video for “Simple Times” earned over 3 million views. Some fans consider the lyrics of “Simple Times” to be about Musgraves’ life before her relationship. Others link the track to the artist’s yearning for childhood, especially with lyrics like “being grown-up kind of sucks.”
“In this song, Kacey Musgraves wishes for simpler times,” another Genius user wrote. “She recounts that she wishes she could go back to doing things she loved as a kid, but it doesn’t really feel the same.”
Other songs by Kacey Musgraves include ‘Slow Burn’ and ‘Rainbow’
Musgraves often offers a glimpse into her creative process with fans, even sharing that she participated in a guided psilocybin mushroom trip with a Nashville couple that offers plant-based therapy to create Star-Crossed.
The Grammy Award-winning artist is also the mastermind behind songs like “Slow Burn,” “High Horse,” and “Rainbow” off of Golden Hour. Music by Musgraves is available on most major streaming platforms.

King Princess shares new track “Little Bother” featuring Fousheé, tour with Kacey Musgraves begins next week
]
January 14, 2022—King Princess unveils a new song “Little Bother“ featuring Fousheé today—listen here. King Princess and Fousheé wrote the song alongside Zach Fogarty (A$AP Rocky, Girlpool, Claud), who is also a co-producer.
“I have been a big fan of Fousheé for a while, so when we started DM’ing and eventually set a date in the studio, it was a dream,” King Princess says. “‘Little Bother’ kind of came out of nowhere; Zach had the guitar part and Fou and I just started going off. It became this song about tiptoeing around someone you’ve lost and feeling like a pest. It poses questions to a person who may not be listening at all and I think that’s a beautiful sentiment.”
Additionally, King Princess will begin supporting Kacey Musgraves on her U.S. tour next week, with stops in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and more—see full routing below.
The new song follows long-awaited fan favorite “House Burn Down” released last year, and “PAIN” and “Only Time Makes It Human” from 2020. In 2019, her debut album Cheap Queen was released via Mark Ronson’s Zelig Records/Columbia Records to widespread critical acclaim. She has performed on “Saturday Night Live” and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” and graced the cover of V Magazine, GQ Style UK, Highsnobiety and more. Her sold out tours have taken her across North America and Europe with festival sets at Coachella, Glastonbury, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo and more.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, King Princess is a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. Her 2018 debut single, an ode to untold queer histories titled “1950,” became an overnight smash hit with over 550 million streams to date and eventually achieving Platinum status in the United States and Australia.

Thomasina Petrus does Billie Holiday
There’s a special poignancy attached to Petrus making her Chanhassen Dinner Theatres debut with her show “The Best of Billie & Me.” The company was co-founded by one of her mentors, Lewis Whitlock III, the influential dancer, choreographer and actor who was in the first Broadway tour of “The Wiz.” Whitlock, who died last year, later produced a student version of “The Wiz” at North High School in the 1980s that ignited the dreams of Petrus and other youngsters. An actor, singer and onetime dancer, Petrus has become known for her uncanny ability to summon the voice and spirit of Billie Holiday.

Kacey Musgraves
Last seen in town headlining the Basilica Block Party on a truly golden night in 2019, Musgraves is kicking off her “Star-Crossed” tour in St. Paul in mid-January, a brave move for a Texan. The country-to-pop crossover singer also bravely sings about her divorce on her new album, far more somber than 2018’s breakthrough record “Golden Hour,” but she promises the show will still be fun. Electro-pop acts King Princess and MUNA open. Read our interview with Musgraves in Monday’s Variety section. (8 p.m. Wed., Xcel Energy Center, 175 W.

‘Paris Is Burning’
Jenny Livingston’s 1990 documentary gets a rare screening at Paisley Park, and it’s not difficult to imagine Prince himself admiring the film’s approach to gender and performance. Livingston focuses on the drag ball scene in New York City in the 1980s, showcasing the styles and language that continue to influence pop culture (there would be no “RuPaul’s Drag Race” without these artists). Tickets are pricey but the film is a masterpiece. (7 p.m. Sat., Paisley Park soundstage, 7801 Audubon Road, Chanhassen, $25 plus $20 on-site parking, paisleypark.com)

Ice Castles
Elsa’s fictional city of Arendelle has nothing on the architecture of this winter attraction. Continuing into February, or as long as frigid temperatures hold, the ice-carved interactive experience drips with thousands of icicles “that bring fairy tales to life.” Make sure you’re bundled up before stepping inside the frosty palace to encounter ice slides, a maze and crawl tunnels.

Black Dog Cafe
It was a coffee shop, a restaurant, an art galley and a music venue where Twin Cities jazz musicians, whether aspiring or established, could find an audience willing to listen. After 23 years in St. Paul’s Lowertown neighborhood, Black Dog Cafe is closing with one last hurrah. Actually, the sibling-run cafe closed several days ago but it will have a big sendoff with trumpeter Steve Kenny, a longtime fixture at the venue, leading a group of jazz friends including JT Bates and Chris Bates. Fuzzy Math opens. (7 p.m. Sat., Black Dog Cafe, 308 E. Prince St., St. Paul, blackdogstpaul.com)

‘Title of Show’
Two pals face a looming deadline: They need to create a new musical in just a couple of weeks. So they rope two other musical theater-obsessed friends into helping them in “Title of Show,” a musical in which we see funny, neurotic people creating the show we’re watching them perform. Clever and filled with in-jokes, it’s for everyone who’s ever thought, “Wait. Why would anyone use an elephant’s eye to measure corn growth?” (7:30 p.m. Thu.-Sat., 2 p.m. Sun.

‘Dancing Our Way Out’
In September 2020, Black Label Movement filmed a dance piece that was created after consulting with a University of Minnesota physician about best practices for staying safe during the pandemic. Presented at TEDxMinneapolis that fall and subsequently a hit on the film festival circuit, “A Dream of Touch When Touch Is Gone” is now being screened virtually by Northrop as part of “Dancing Our Way Out,” a collection of video dance works by the university’s faculty, students and guests, and curated by Black Label Movement’s Carl Flink along with Joanie Smith of Shapiro & Smith Dance. The works respond to the pandemic as well as social uprisings following the murder of George Floyd. (Premieres 7:30 p.m. Fri., then on-demand through Jan. 21, $50, northrop.umn.edu)

Well, this is no way to start the new year–
“Postponed” seems to be the word for many shows, no thanks to the Omicron variant and record-high infections, but the silver lining is most shows are being delayed and not completely canceled.
Thankfully, a few events have carried on, including most comedydates, and we could all use a good laugh at the moment. Highlight of the month is undoubtedly the solid triple-bill with Kacey Musgraves, King Princess, and MUNA at T-Mobile Center and (as of this writing) the Elton John show there, scheduled for Feb 1 (after a July 2020 delay) is still on, so there’s plenty of hope and things to look forward to. Stay safe!
