For one fan at Kacey Musgraves’ sold-out show at the Wiltern on Friday, her song “Merry Go ‘Round” sounded like a horror movie.
Musgraves, the 27-year-old singer who shook up the country music establishment on her 2013 Grammy-winning LP, “Same Trailer Different Park,” sang its disappointed lyrics about getting trapped in a stifling life: “We get bored so we get married / Just like dust we settle in this town.”
From the rear of the Wiltern, a young female fan shrieked “Don’t do it!” back at her, as if Musgraves was a slasher-flick vixen about to investigate a creaking noise in the basement.
