The Grammy winner created a dramatic silhouette as she emerged onstage.

Kacey Musgraves performed four sold-out shows at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.
Musgraves’ big band helped faithfully re-create the songs off ‘Golden Hour,’ which formed the basis of the set.
The always fashionable Musgraves called to mind the look of Lynn Anderson with her long tresses on Saturday night.
“I wish you guys could come to every show. Or cheers me out of bed every day like, ‘You got this,'” Musgraves told the receptive crowd.
Musgraves’ new single is the empowering ballad “Rainbow,” which she performed on Saturday night.
Since her debut in 2013, Musgraves has evolved into a poised and relaxed performer, as comfortable telling jokes about having a wedgie as she is strutting around the stage like a superstar in the making.
The Texas native has dubbed her tour the Oh, What a World: Tour, after a song on ‘Golden Hour.’
“You’re lookin pretty fuckin’ fine out here,” Musgraves said early in the evening. “Are you in a chill mode or do you wanna turn up a little bit?”
Musgraves accompanied herself on guitar for a rendition of her breakout song “Merry Go Round.”
