Musgraves’ sixth studio album, Middle of Nowhere  is set for release this Friday, May 1st (Lost Highway).  Produced by Kacey alongside longtime collaborators, the album features the first single, “Dry Spell”, which is boldly hilarious and self-aware. The track blazes with sharp wit while delivering tight turns of phrase and a modern blend of classic sounds. Watch the “Dry Spell” video co-directed by Musgraves and Hannah Lux Davis here.

“Dry Spell” was followed by the album’s title track “Middle of Nowhere” and is inspired by a literal sign in Musgraves’ tiny, unincorporated, no-stoplight hometown of Golden, Texas, population under 300, that reads “Golden, TX: Somewhere in the Middle of Nowhere”. It and the solitary headspace Musgraves was living in sparked the idea for the title track and symbolic ethos of the album, speaking to something deeper and more nuanced.

Additionally, Kacey has been confirmed as a performer on the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards (ACMs) which airs live on Prime Video Sunday, May 17, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT / 5 p.m. PT.

Middle of Nowhere exhales with a dust-blown clarity that feels both evocative and sure. The album draws from the sounds, stories, and sensibilities that shaped the Texas native. It feels both fresh, familiar, and classically Kacey. Honest, fearless, immersive, and always ready to wink at life’s twists, turns, and troubles.

Written during a period of post-breakup reflection, this album finds Musgraves leaning intentionally into open space and traditional western elements, and as always, earnestly examining the human experience. Pedal steel, accordion, and Texas dancehall rhythms provide a nostalgic framework that she flips on its head in signature fashion. It is a sonic love letter to the musical borders of Country, echoing influence from adjacent genres such as bluegrass, pop, and even bits of Norteño and Zydeco. Middle of Nowhere features collaborations with Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert, Billy Strings, and Gregory Alan Isakov, further highlighting its deep Texas roots and genreless spirit.

Middle of Nowhere follows 2024’s Deeper Well, which marked Musgraves’ biggest debut sales week, landing at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart and her fifth No. 1 debut on the Top Country Albums chart. She launched the Deeper Well World Tour with sold-out shows globally, and the album’s single “The Architect” won Best Country Song at the Grammys.

In 2023, Musgraves achieved her first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 with “I Remember Everything,” her duet with Zach Bryan. The song became the first country duet in 40 years since “Islands in the Stream” by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers to top the chart and went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Country Duo or Group Performance.

Over the course of her career, Musgraves has earned eight Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year for Golden Hour. She has been recognized by Time as one of its “Women of the Year”, honored with the Vanguard Award at the GLAAD Media Awards, celebrated by Billboard’s “Women in Music” and Variety’s “Power of Women”, the recipient of the Songwriter Icon Award by the National Music Publishers’ Association, and was the subject of a comprehensive Country Music Hall of Fame exhibit, Kacey Musgraves: All of the Colors.
