Country artist Kacey Musgraves is pressing pause on her weekend shows after hitting a sour note—a broken rib. It seems the “Deeper Well” singer slipped on a wet tile while in Mexico, leading to the injury.

On Friday, the 36-year-old country-pop star shared an update with fans on social media.
“Rescheduling, not canceling,” she began alongside X-rays of her damaged rib.
Musgraves said she injured herself on a rainy evening when she slipped while hurrying to grab towels.
“Sooo I’m in Mexico with a f—ing broken rib,” she wrote in a caption over the images. “Wednesday night, it was raining, and I was running to grab some towels and had an extremely hard fall on some very slick tile I didn’t see. Thankful I didn’t smack my head, but I landed very, very hard on my back left ribcage, and I broke number 6. This (expletive) is no joke. I’m in a lot of pain and doing ANYTHING is extremely difficult, but I’m managing and being well taken care of.”
“There is no physical way I can get on a plane and fly back to Nashville (for the show) on Sunday. I am extremely bummed to have to reschedule as I have been looking forward to this for months but there is literally no other option. I’m so sorry for the inconvenience,” she concluded.

“Sending you all our love for a safe and speedy recovery,” one fan wrote. That sounds so awful. Hope you feel better soon! Looking forward to the new date,” a second fan added. “I would give up one of my ribs for Kacey Musgraves,” a third fan body chimed in.
However, despite the injury and explanation, at least one Swiftie was not impressed.
