“I wouldn’t have even known what the Order of Canada was. I never wanted to be a singer. I wanted to be a vet.


I studied Agriculture in the University of Manitoba, but never finished my degree as I went into music. But the decision to go into music was always at arm’s length. It was always, ‘I will continue on but on my terms.’

I never planned or knew what I was going to do, but I always knew what I didn’t want to do.”

Kacey Musgraves Added To Coachella Festival’s Second Weekend

The early afternoon Saturday (April 18) slot in the Mojave Tent will mark Musgraves' return to the fest for the first time since 2019.

Kacey Musgraves is headed back to the valley. The singer teased on Tuesday (April 14) that she will be returning to the Coachella Festival this weekend for the first time since 2019. The festival revealed the lineup poster for the upcoming second weekend of this year’s event, with Musgraves slipping into the same early Saturday afternoon (April 18) slot (3:00-3:50) on the Mojave stage that Jack White was added to at the last minute before weekend one.

“Somewhere on the way to ★ 𝑪𝒐𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒂 ★,” Musgraves wrote on Instagram on Tuesday in a post cued to her single “Middle of Nowhere” that featured a subtle plug for her upcoming seventh studio album (May 1) via a flipbook-like image of a bull running on a highway retaining wall, ending with the name of the LP.
