Appearing on stage, Kacey Musgraves wore a yellow ao dai made of quite thin material and no pants. The star born in 1988 performed a series of hits associated with his name such as: Slow Burn, High Horse, Rainbow, Golden Hour... She received many compliments for her great voice, attractive performance style, confidence and professionalism.

Kacey Musgraves' way of dressing was not known to many Vietnamese fans, until the singer shared a series of behind-the-scenes photos with traditional Vietnamese costumes on her personal Instagram story. In the images shown on social networks, she carelessly twisted, posing in a pantless ao dai, to be more precise, using a robe instead of wide-legged pants.

Kacey Musgraves even posted a short video recording provocative and arrogant movements with the outfit she had just worn on stage. The aforementioned images quickly attracted the attention of many viewers, as well as the Vietnamese media and became a topic of widespread discussion on social networks.

Most of the comments on Kacey Musgraves' photo series show an attitude of frustration and indignation at the famous star's pedigree dress. Many people think that performance costumes can be seductive, disruptive and even bold, but the artist can wear the national costume of a country with an attitude of disrespect and even insult as in the case of the owner of the hit Golden Hour.

CNN, Washington Post, NBC News and many international newspapers have also quoted comments against Kacey Musgraves' action of wearing a trouser shirt. "She is being criticized for wearing ao dai that is said to be inappropriate for Vietnamese traditions during the show in Dallas, Texas last week. At that time, Musgraves appeared in a dress with a slit on the sides, but this outfit was originally worn with trousers," CNN wrote.

Continuing, the source also cited a number of comments showing the outrage of the international online community over the incident. In which, the tweet: "Culture is not synonymous with TD" received more than 6,000 likes. "Put on your pants the way other girls used to wear dresses. Please don't degrade the value of Vietnamese culture," CNN quoted Mai Nguyen Do's spokesperson in the article.

In addition, the news agency also said that many people said that the Grammy Award-winning singer disrespected Ao Dai - a costume with many cultural and historical significance. Until days later, Kacey Musgraves still refused to speak out about the incident.

On November 29, 2024, while performing at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida as part of a world tour called "Deeper Well", Kacey Musgraves encountered a few problems with the audience. Specifically, when the female singer had just passed through the crowd and was singing, a woman reached out and grabbed her hand and pulled it back.

She ruined everything for everyone."
