To kick off her set, Musgraves arrived on horseback and debuted the title track from her forthcoming album, 'Middle of Nowhere'. The set also included first-time performances of 'Back On The Wagon,' a ballad about toxic relationships, and 'Uncertain, TX,' complete with a line dance break.
Fans may recall Musgraves' previous Coachella performance in 2019, where she famously engaged the crowd with a "yee-haw" call-and-response. She playfully referenced the viral moment during her 2026 set, sharing the clip with the audience.
