Middle of Nowhere

Middle of Nowhere is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves. It was released on May 1, 2026, through Lost Highway Records. The album was written and recorded following her signing to the relaunched label, which she had been the final artist to join prior to its initial closure in 2012. Middle of Nowhere was developed during a period of prolonged singlehood, which Musgraves described as shaping its themes of solitude, self-definition, and "liminal" states. Drawing on her Texas roots, it incorporates elements of country, Western swing, bluegrass, and regional Mexican styles, while emphasizing traditional instrumentation such as the pedal steel guitar. Its lyrics reflect introspection and post-breakup clarity, with an increased focus on personal independence and emotional transition. Musgraves released four singles from Middle of Nowhere—"Dry Spell", the title track, "Loneliest Girl", and "Mexico Honey". In support of the album, she embarked on its accompanying tour, Middle of Nowhere Tour.
