Kacey Musgraves Ends Her ACM Dry Spell With a Cheeky Debut Performance

Kacey Musgraves made her ACM Awards debut with a playful, risqué performance of “Dry Spell” from Middle of Nowhere, opening on a washing machine and then moving through a cheeky grocery-store setup with suggestive signage; the country-leaning album was released May 1, 2026, and although she has seven ACM wins, she isn’t nominated this year as the ceremony features other performers.
