Kacey Musgraves Brings Bittersweetness and Balm to a Commanding Forum Show: Concert Review
Kacey Musgraves' national tour came to L.A.'s Kia Forum for two shows and showed how exciting her brand of calm, folky pop can be in an arena setting.
The Deeper Well tour starts out with its only special effect: At the end of “Cardinal,” the opening number, Musgraves climbs to the top of a semicircular globe that protrudes all night from the rear of the stage, lies down on it and proceed to levitate, limbs dangling. That continued with the final selection she did on the B-stage, for which she was joined by opening act Nickel Creek for an even wider congregation of pickers, saying they were about to do “an old murder ballad,” which, however plausible that sounded in the immediate company, turned out to be SZA’s “Kill Bill.” On this particular night Musgraves asked for moments of silence, to send good vibes to the victims of Hurricane Helene, admitting that she didn’t know whether to call it prayer or manifestation… true to the song that followed, which concluded by wondering “if there’s an architect.”
