'I don't recognise that name': Kacey Musgraves had awkward encounter dressed up as giant armadillo to find her new album

Kacey Musgraves dressed up as a giant armadillo to go "undercover" to find her new album.

The 37-year-old singer went into a local Walmart to ask staff if they had her record Middle of Nowhere in stock, only to be met with a brutal response.

In a video shared on Instagram, an employee replied: "I don't recognise that name."

Kacey wasn't deterred, and eventually found a display with vinyl copies of her seventh LP, which features collaborations with the likes of Willie Nelson (Uncertain, TX), Miranda Lambert (Horses and Divorces) and Billy Strings (Everybody Wants To Be A Cowboy).

In the promo video, she grabbed a couple of copies and then headed to a Barnes and Noble store, looked up armadillo facts in a children's book, and picked up some more of her own records.

Target was next, but by the end of the video, she appeared on her back as roadkill.

Kacey's new album Middle of Nowhere, the follow-up to 2024's Deeper Well, features the playful single Dry Spell, which isn't her grandma's "favourite" track.

Asked for her favourite lyric on the LP, she recently told Variety: “I’ve never talked about self-pleasure before.

"So that’s a first for me: ‘Sitting on the washing machine.’ It’s not my grandma’s favorite line, but it’s mine, I guess.”
