Kacey Musgraves cancels tour dates on her upcoming “Middle of Nowhere” North American run, but the country star’s camp is signaling there is no medical drama behind the move, according to TMZ.
The outlet reported that three upcoming shows have been dropped from the itinerary. TMZ said the dates were not part of the tour’s first announced schedule and had been added later.
According to TMZ, the decision brings the tour back to its original plan: a start date of August 21, which is also Musgraves’ birthday.
Why did Kacey Musgraves cancel tour dates?
TMZ reported, citing people familiar with the situation, that the cancellations were made for scheduling reasons. The outlet said the change is not connected to a personal issue or a health problem.
The dropped shows had stirred questions among fans after the announcement, TMZ reported. The outlet said Musgraves is doing well and that there are no health concerns tied to the schedule change.
When does the Middle of Nowhere tour start?
The “Middle of Nowhere” tour is now expected to begin on August 21, according to TMZ. That makes opening night a double occasion for Musgraves: the start of the run and her birthday.
The tour is expected to include major arena stops, TMZ reported, including Chicago’s United Center, multiple nights at Madison Square Garden in New York, Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena and two closing nights at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena in October.
TMZ did not identify the three canceled dates in its report.
What is Kacey Musgraves promoting on tour?
The tour is tied to Musgraves’ album “Middle of Nowhere,” according to TMZ. The outlet reported that the run comes as she moves into a new stretch of her career after a surprise Coachella performance.
Musgraves is an eight-time Grammy Award winner, TMZ noted. She first broke through with her 2013 debut album “Same Trailer Different Park.”
Her profile climbed further with “Golden Hour,” the 2018 album that won the Grammy for Album of the Year, according to TMZ.
For fans holding tickets to the still-scheduled dates, the key point from the report is straightforward: the North American run has not been called off. TMZ says the tour is set to proceed from the original August 21 launch plan.
