Friday5: Kacey Musgraves, Beck, Father John Misty & More

After some groundbreaking, female-dominating wins at this year’s Grammy Awards, women continue to lead the way in this week’s top music news. A quick recap of Music’s Biggest Night proves that point, with top awards going to Kacey Musgraves, Lady Gaga, and more. Meanwhile, a few female icons — one in pop, the other in rock — announce big summer tours. But this doesn’t mean men aren’t stepping it up, too, with some major singer-songwriters making their way back to the road as well.

This year’s Grammy Awards brought plenty of powerful performances (especially from host Alicia Keys), as well as a few surprises along the way. Women proved to dominate the show, starting with an appearance by Michelle Obama, who was joined onstage by Keys, Lady Gaga, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Jennifer Lopez. Country star Kacey Musgraves nabbed four awards, including Album of the Year for Golden Hour, as Cardi B became the first female solo artist to win Best Rap Album. Meanwhile, Dua Lipa took home Best New Artist, while Lady Gaga continued to collect more trophies, this time for Best Pop Solo Performance for “Joanne” and Best Song Written for Visual Media with “Shallow.” Fortunately, there are many opportunities to catch several of the winners and nominees on tour this year.

She’ll be bringing her party to 24 cities across North America this summer, and inviting along some surprise guests from her hit NBC dance show World of Dance. Expect all of the hits — from her 1999 debut to today — and some spectacular choreography and costume changes as well. J.Lo’s It’s My Party: The Live Celebration Tour begins June 7 in Phoenix, Arizona, and closes out on July 26 in Miami, Florida. Tickets go on sale soon.

Another exciting co-headlining tour has our attention, this one led by fiery singer-songwriter Father John Misty and Grammy Award–winning Americana star Jason Isbell with his band The 400 Unit.
