I bet they’ve never seen a show like this.
A couple weeks ago, Kacey Musgraves kicked off her Middle of Nowhere Tour with quite a statement… she debuted a stage prop at the United Center in Chicago that gives the traditional disco ball a completely new meaning. Kacey rode around on a set of disco balls during her performance of “Rhinestoned.”
She joked with the crowd that:
“This is what it looks like when no one tells me no.”

She told one crowd recently that her grandma was there, and she always told her that if she was going to do anything, she needed to do it “big… and sparkly,” though obviously, I think this is a far cry from what she had in mind:
“It takes a lot of balls to get up here and do what I do every night. It takes two gigantic, anatomically correct sparkly balls.I’ve actually got my Nana in the house tonight, and she always told me, ‘Honey, if you’re gonna do something, do it big, do it sparkly.’ Nana is this what you had in mind?”
Poor nana…
This weekend, Kacey’s tour stopped at Xfinity Mobile Arena in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the security people there had no idea what Kacey had up her sleeve, so to speak.
When she revealed the disco ball prop, the security throughout the arena couldn’t help but laugh, and one fan caught their reactions on camera in a now-viral video (according to the comments, this was in Philly), and it’s hilarious:

The comments did not disappoint, either:
“Kacey was always low key funny af but now the world knows.”
“Grown men giggling I love it.”
“I was there!!!!! My gf didn’t spoil it for me, so grateful. It was so cinematic as f***.”
“Kacey is so funny bro she don’t gaf.”
“Knowing she had to fill out entire legal documents to get her insurance to approve this beforehand … is nuts.”
“Saw it on opening night in Chicago and the two security women next to us were cracking up the whole time.”
“She redefined disco balls.”
“Love that she had the balls to bring them out.”
“It was my fav part of the show, however I saw it with my parents lmfao.”
“You know they were calling each other to come see.”
“Watching them crack up in disbelief is hilarious.”
“I love that you caught them all on 4k. Kacey is going to love this.”
If you want to see it for yourself in person, Kacey still has plenty of tour dates left on her Middle of Nowhere trek.
