Inspiration Behind the Album
Musgraves is touring in support of her sixth studio album, Middle of Nowhere, which was released on May 1. The album features collaborations with Gregory Alan Isakov, Billy Strings, Miranda Lambert and Willie Nelson.
Speaking about the album when it was released, Musgraves said the songs came during a period when she spent a lot of time by herself. "The bulk of this record was made during the longest single period of my life," Musgraves had said, as per PEOPLE.
She also spoke about how she became comfortable with being alone while working on the album. "I found that for the first time, it actually felt incredible being alone and existing in a space not defined by anyone else. I became fascinated with the concept of liminal space, both geographical and emotional."
