Kacey Musgraves performed on Saturday Night Live in what appeared to be her birthday suit on October 2.
The country singer treated her fans to a beautiful performance of her song Justified. Introduced by Loki star Owen Wilson, the artist was wearing nothing but her guitar and her boots. Or at least that's what it looked like.
Kacey Musgraves Stuns Fans In Intimate Performance Of 'Justified'
Fans were in awe of Musgraves performing Justified, a single from her fifth studio album, Star-Crossed, released in September this year.
Once the lights went up after the intro, Musgraves could be seen sitting on a stool whilst performing her song and appearing to be naked. At a closer look, one could see she was wearing shorts and most definitely a top of some sorts behind the acoustic guitar, but the intimate mood of the performance reminded viewers of a nude scene in a 1990s cinematic cult classic.
The singer was inspired by the 1994 drama Forrest Gump. Particularly, Musgraves seems to have drawn inspiration from the scene where Jenny, played by Robin Wright, performs her song in front of an audience, including Tom Hanks' titular hero, wearing nothing but her guitar and a pair of white pumps.

"Kacey Musgraves is going full Jenny from Forrest Gump on SNL," was another comment.
"Anybody else get Jenny vibes from @KaceyMusgraves@nbcsnl Justified performance??" another fan tweeted.
"I’m pretty sure Kacey Musgraves was only wearing boots and a guitar on #SNL," was another comment.
"Is Kacey Musgraves only wearing her guitar? Work, b**ch," another fan commented.
The performance won the hearts of even those who weren't fans of the Texan artist.
"I didn't know who Kacey Musgraves was until tonight but I'm a fan now. her songs have me like," someone wrote, including a picture of a crying kitten for good measure.
Clothed or not, Musgraves definitely delivered.
