\n\tKacey Musgraves is headed back to the valley. The singer teased on Tuesday (April 14) that she will be returning to the Coachella Festival this weekend for the first time since 2019. The festival revealed the lineup poster for the upcoming second weekend of this year\u2019s event, with Musgraves slipping into the same early Saturday afternoon (April 18) slot (3:00-3:50) on the Mojave stage that Jack White was added to at the last minute before weekend one.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSomewhere on the way to \u2605 \ud835\udc6a\ud835\udc90\ud835\udc82\ud835\udc84\ud835\udc89\ud835\udc86\ud835\udc8d\ud835\udc8d\ud835\udc82 \u2605,\u201d Musgraves wrote on Instagram on Tuesday in a post cued to her single \u201cMiddle of Nowhere\u201d that featured a subtle plug for her upcoming seventh studio album (May 1) via a flipbook-like image of a bull running on a highway retaining wall, ending with the name of the LP.<\/p>\n

\n\tMusgraves is gearing up to release the follow-up to 2024\u2019s Deeper Well<\/em>, so far releasing the single \u201cDry Spell\u201d from the collection slated to feature songwriting collaboration with Luke Laird, Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne and Brandy Clark, as well as collaborations with Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert and Billy Strings.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe bulk of this record was made during the longest single period of my life\u201d, Musgraves said in a statement announcing the LP. \u201cI 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. We don\u2019t linger in these transitional, empty spaces long enough and rush to define where or whatever is next.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the same day she was added to Coachella, Musgraves also playfully added to the river of parody slop flooding your feeds with her own AI-generated Dr. Jesus photo mocking Donald Trump\u2019s since-deleted, much-criticized AI image in which the president of the United States depicted himself as a Christ-like figure healing a man with his magic touch. In Musgraves\u2019 version, though, the patron saint of country music, Dolly Parton, was swapped in as the divine healer, with Musgaves portraying the patient.<\/p>\n

\n\tTrump sparked widespread condemnation for the blasphemous photo, which he posted on the same day that he launched an unprecedented attack on Pope Leo XIV, lambasting the leader of the world\u2019s more than 1.4 billion Catholics as a \u201closer from the left\u201d as well as \u201cWEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy,\u201d while suggesting that the first American-born Pope was elected as a way to \u201cdeal with President Donald J. Trump.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tFormer altar boy Jack White responded to Trump\u2019s shocking imagery by calling it \u201cblasphemy\u201d and dubbing the former reality TV star a \u201cderanged grifter.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to Musgraves, weekend two of Coachella will feature headlining sets from Anyma, Sabrina Carpenter, Blood Orange, Disclosure and Sexyy Red on Friday night, Justin Bieber, David Byrne, Interpol, Armin van Buuren x Ada Beyer on Saturday and Karol G, BIGBANG, Kaskade and Young Thug on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
