Kacey Musgraves Performs ‘Easy’ With Troye Sivan for the First Time at MSG
The country singer invited her former collaborator to the second sold-out night of her New York shows
Kacey Musgraves wowed her audience at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night when she surprised her fans with a live debut of her duet with Australian singer Troye Sivan, titled “Easy.” Musgraves, dressed in brown leather pants, a plaid shirt, and a vest, performed the song alongside Sivan, who arrived onstage unannounced. The two sang the poignant lyrics about their relationship warping and distorting, as the audience roared with excitement.
This live collaboration marked nearly six years after the duo first teamed up to release a remix of “Easy” featuring producer Mark Ronson in 2020. They previously worked together on “Glittery” for Musgraves' Christmas Show special in 2019 and on “Easy” in 2020. Sivan shared a behind-the-scenes clip of their backstage moment on TikTok, where they were seen slowing dancing and mouthing lyrics together.
The night before, Musgraves paid tribute to country icon Dolly Parton, who passed away last week at the age of 80. In her tribute, Musgraves called Parton a "supernova of a person" and performed a lively cover of her 1981 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit "9 to 5." Musgraves' Middle of Nowhere tour will continue to Philadelphia's Xfinity Mobile Arena on Friday (Sept. 4).
