At The Pinnacle—a sleek new 4,500-seat gem in Nashville—Kacey Musgraves treated her hometown fans to an evening that was as inventive as it was intimate. In a night where country tradition met audacious reinvention, Musgraves debuted a brand-new track titled “She’s My B—h,” a surprisingly heartfelt homage to her four-legged friend, Pepper.
Musgraves, who’s long been known for her clever twist on Americana, delivered the solo performance with the kind of relaxed swagger that defines her music. “She’s black and white, all ride or die / More bark than bite / She’s my bitch,” she sang, the lyrics playfully blurring the lines between affection and irreverence. At one point, the room erupted into a chorus of “Pepper!”—a moment that perfectly captured the communal spirit of the night.
The stage, a verdant explosion of ferns, moss, and sod that resembled an overgrown terrarium, was a striking backdrop for the performance. Musgraves’ banter between songs, including wistful reflections on her early days in Nashville and quips about her unconventional stage setup (complete with a rogue hairbrush lost in the greenery), added a layer of intimacy and humor to the show.
The setlist wasn’t all novelty, either. Musgraves revisited familiar territory with hits and deeper cuts from her celebrated catalog, alongside selections from her latest album, “Deeper Well.” Highlights included “The Architect,” a Grammy-winning track that underscores her knack for blending introspection with a sense of musical daring.
In a career that’s as unpredictable as it is compelling, Kacey Musgraves continues to surprise—and delight—with a mix of playful irreverence and genuine emotion. Her Nashville homecoming was a testament to that very spirit, blending the grandeur of a full arena set with the raw, unfiltered charm of a solo performance.
