Kacey Musgraves shared footage of what she called the “craziest fucking UFO orb experience” after flying from Fort Worth to Nashville.
In a series of videos posted to her Instagram Story, the country pop star detailed how three bright, color-changing orbs flew in shifting formations to accompany the plane. According to Musgraves, they were “not moving like any craft that we can control.”
“They were about 50,000 feet up,” she said. “We watched ’em for maybe 45 minutes.”
Musgraves’ video showed the orbs in question, though as she acknowledged, the footage “looks like it was filmed on a fucking toaster.”
The videos do show some bright lights, though I can’t make out colors, and the lights do fly in simple geometric formations. To my eye they move like commercial drones, but it almost doesn’t matter what we can make of the videos, because there’s really three possibilities: it’s actually aliens; she’s promoting her new album Dry Spell (it’s out-of-aesthetic from what we’ve seen so far, but maybe there’s a sexy-abduction single coming out); or Kacey Musgraves doesn’t know what a drone is.

That last one isn’t exactly comforting: If private citizens are tailing pop star planes, even out in the open and flying in triangle formation, that raises some potentially high-stakes questions. Like, she said she saw another one in Nashville on the way home. So are these unrelated drones or is someone stalking her or is it fake? Welcome to the internet in 2026, where you probably won’t find out today. Make of it what you will over at @spaceykacey before it’s gone.
