JOB WELL DONE: KACEY CONCLUDES TOUR

Kacey Musgraves concluded her 35-date Deeper Well World Tour 12/7 with the second of two sold-out gigs at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, and all she got for her efforts was this photo op with AEG Presents President of Global Touring Rich Schaefer and her manager, Sandbox Entertainment CEO Jason Owen.

Reports that Schaefer tried to swindle Musgraves in a lopsided fantasy basketball trade could not be confirmed at press time.

The just-wrapped trek showcased nine tunes per night from Deeper Well, which will be up for Best Country Album, Best Country Song, Best Country Solo Performance and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical at the upcoming Grammy Awards. Musgraves is also nominated for Best Americana Performance with Madi Diaz for "Don't Do Me Good."

Support came from Lord Huron, Father John Misty and Nickel Creek, the latter of whom often joined Musgraves for an acoustic cover of SZA's "Kill Bill."

Musgraves has only a handful of shows on her 2025 docket at the moment, including 3/1 at the Extra Innings festival in Tempe, Arizona, and 7/5 at the Zootown Festival in Missoula, Montana, but she was also just announced as the first performer at AEG's new Nashville venue, The Pinnacle, on 2/27.
