On Thursday night, the country singer took the stage for the very first show at The Pinnacle in Nashville, inviting her audience to sing with her among a forest of ferns and sky full of stars.

As she sat on a stool in front of the swaying crowd, Musgraves opened up about the background of one of her recent songs, “The Architect,” which she said came in part as a result of the 2023 Covenant School shooting and her own questioning of her spirituality.
