‘Born in a hurry always late’ Kacey musgraves sings as she walks out perfectly on time to a deafening cheer at Nashville’s Bridgestone arena.
“We literally couldn’t cram one more human body into this place” she exclaims as she gazes in disbelief into her sold out audience, they even had to open up the closed off area of the arena to fit everybody in, breaking the record for biggest audience for a female at the arena proving that small venues are a thing of the past for the small town girl. A big voice, a loyal band and very few outfit changes were all this small town girl needed to catch every single audience member’s attention.
Musgraves had the crowd in her hands as she graced us with hits from her grammy award winning golden hour from ‘velvet elvis’ which had everybody up on their feet dancing along, to tear-jerker ‘rainbow’ that, with the help of a fan project involving coloured confetti, lit up the room with transcending colours.
After bringing out opening act Maggie Rogers to perform an energetic rendition of Whitney Houston’s’ I wanna dance with somebody’, midway through space cowboy the lights dim and a silhouette appears behind a large curtain, a deafening roar shakes through the arena as Harry styles is revealed from behind the curtain.
Golden hour had long surpassed, and it was time for the show to finish. The show proved that kacey musgraves is so much more than just a dime store cowgirl.
