Country music star Kacey Musgraves paid tribute to Dolly Parton during a Boston concert, performing a cover of the legendary artist’s 1977 hit “Here You Come Again.” The performance took place at TD Garden on Friday, shortly after Parton’s passing at age 80 earlier in the week.
Musgraves also performed her ballad “Rainbow” as part of the tribute, revealing to the crowd that Parton had been the creative inspiration behind the song. The artist had not included “Rainbow” in her Middle of Nowhere Tour setlist until this special performance honoring the country icon. Images of Parton were displayed on screen as Musgraves invited the audience to sing along in Parton’s memory.
The pairing of these two songs held special significance, echoing a previous collaboration between the artists at the 2019 Grammy Awards. At that event, Musgraves had performed “Rainbow” before being joined onstage by both Parton and Katy Perry for a rendition of “Here You Come Again,” cementing the connection between the two songs in the artists’ shared history.
