Kacey Musgraves' Saturn has returned — toSaturday Night Live!

For her third time as musical guest on the sketch comedy show, Musgraves, 35, took the stage to perform two tracks from her upcoming sixth studio albumDeeper Well.

It’s not the first time the Musgraves has opted to ditch footwear while on stage,during her 2023 Grammys performance, she also went barefoot during a performance of  “Coal Miner’s Daughter” that she sang in tribute to Loretta Lynn.

After the show, Musgraves responded to apost on X, formerly Twitter, where a fan wrote, “I just want someone to look at me the way Sydney Sweeney looks at Kacey Musgraves.”

Reacting to the sweet moment, the singer couldn’t help but notice something else. “The clip. I forgot to remove the clip,” she wrote, referring to a hairpiece that remained in her long locks.

The seven-time Grammy winner announcedDeeper Wellon Feb. 8 in conjunction with the lead single, the album’s title track. Set for release on March 15, the record is vulnerable and forges a connection between the singer and her listener, Musgraves said onZane Lowe’s Apple Music 1 show.

“I think there’s hardly ever any mystery left in life, especially with artists. But at the same time, we’re here to connect,” theGolden Hoursinger said. While she calls herself a “homebody” who cherishes privacy, Musgraves said she aims to “f—ing put it out there” with the new album.

“It’s definitely my most grounded time period yet. I’m 35 now, and I know myself better than in previous years, previous albums, and I just feel like I’m right where I need to be,” Musgraves told PEOPLE. “I definitely think that the music and hopefully the scent will reflect that.”
