Oh hell yeah. This is the kind of controversy and intrigue that country music needs more of as opposed to bloviating about Gavin Adcock vomiting into his own hat again, or whatever.
Is Kacey Musgraves really being followed across the country by extraterrestrial orbs making triangular patterns in the sky? Hell I don’t know. My guess is there’s probably a more rational explanation, but there has been a lot of weird stuff going on in the UFO world lately, so who knows?
Either way, this is the kind of weird Spacey Kacey stuff we’ve been waiting and hungering for. When she was off trying to be a pop star, signing modeling deals, and hanging out at the Met Gala, it was a total bore. I want my Kacey Musgraves cutting kitschy country songs, micro-dosing mushrooms at 35,000 feet, and sowing conspiracy theories online.
“So I just got off a plane,” Kacey Musgraves starts off about her April 9th close encounter. “It was me and one of my managers Bobby. And we just had the craziest f–king orb UFO experience.”
Oh I’m totally in now. Give us more Ms. Musgraves.
“This is not the first time I have seen … I have seen many crazy things. I mean literally, keep looking up. I’ve seen fire burning in the sky, things that I can’t explain. So yeah, this is not the first time. But we just watched these orbs … there was three of them.”
Then Kacey Musgraves issues the best line of the entire account, and perhaps of her entire career, save for the final verse of “Merry Go ‘Round.”
“I noticed them. I’m a noticer. I’m always noticing things.”
Oh, this is just peak Kacey Musgraves gold.
Anyway, she went on to post a video of the supposed orbs, and of course like most all of this UFO stuff, it’s just ambiguous enough to not really really be conclusive about anything. Sure, there’s three lights off in the distance, but who knows what they could be.

“They were 50k feet up, we watched them for 45 minutes. These orbs were vehemently coming and going, forming triangle patterns. They were following the plane.

And when you’re Kacey Musgraves and you take to the internet with a UFO story, people take notice. One pointy-nosed self-proclaimed UFO expert/skeptic named Mick West concluded,
“The Kacey Musgraves UFO sighting video has been identified as being 100% consistent with Starlink horizon flares. Her plane was in the flare zone for the entire flight, and the flares appeared in the right position, moving and fading at the same speed as seen on the video.”
Oh don’t be a party pooper Mick. If Spacey Kacey says she’s seeing UFOs, let her follow her arrow wherever it points. It all turned out well in the end though. Kacey got the best of ‘ol Mick.
Now that’s even a better comeback than Zach Bryan hopping a barbed wire fence to kick Gavin Adcock’s ass. Then on Tuesday morning, she posted an AI slop meme of Dolly Parton as Jesus healing her.
Stay weird Kacey, and keep noticing things. You noticer.
Her new album Middle of Nowhere is out May 1st.
