Country singer Kacey Musgraves has responded good-naturedly to online criticism of a risqué stage prop on her Middle of Nowhere Tour, after a fan likened a pair of flying disco balls to testicles. When the fan commented on Instagram that they "can't get behind" the prop, Musgraves quipped back that the fan could "get in front of them" instead, and the exchange was taken in good humour by both parties.

The disco balls debuted when Musgraves opened her tour in Chicago last month, where she told the crowd, "This is what it looks like when no one tells me no!" The moment adds to a pattern of cheeky, sexually candid material from Musgraves, including her songs "Dry Spell" and "Mexico Honey" — the latter reportedly not a favourite of her grandmother, who told the singer's manager via text that it would "never be on my favourite list." Despite such reservations, Musgraves' tour continues to draw large crowds, with a two-night run at New York's Madison Square Garden among her upcoming dates.
