Eight-time Grammy winner Kacey Musgraves will return to the metro Sept. 22 to headline Target Center in downtown Minneapolis.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. May 8 through Axs. American Express card holders have access to a presale starting at 10 a.m. May 5.

A Texas native, Musgraves spent years trying to establish herself, self-releasing several albums and competing on the long-forgotten “Nashville Star” in 2007. In 2012, she finally landed a deal with Mercury Nashville and hit the road with Lady Antebellum. Her 2013 major-label debut, “Same Trailer Different Park,” earned rave reviews and adoring fans thanks to Musgraves’ likable singles, including her breakthrough “Follow Your Arrow,” the rare country hit about tolerance.

Her second album, 2015’s “Pageant Material,” covered similar territory, but Musgraves took a bold move toward pop music with 2018’s widely acclaimed “Golden Hour.” It went on to win all four of its nominated categories at the Grammy Awards, including album of the year and best country album.

In 2021, Musgraves released “Star-Crossed,” which examined her painful divorce from fellow country singer Ruston Kelly. She opened her first arena tour at the former Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul the following year. “I Remember Everything,” her 2023 duet with Zach Bryan, entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 1, making it the first country duet to do so since “Islands in the Stream” by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers.

On Friday, Musgraves will issue “Middle of Nowhere,” an album that finds her “leaning intentionally into open space and traditional western elements, and as always, earnestly examining the human experience.”

It features collaborations with Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert, Billy Strings and Gregory Alan Isakov. She has invited three Texas mariachi brothers who were recently detained and released by ICE to open for her this weekend at a series of shows in her home state.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WISH) — Purdue University has received a $20 million commitment from the Ricks Family Foundation to establish the Purdue Institute for Healthcare Systems Innovation at the Indianapolis campus.

The institute in the Mitch Daniels School of Business aims to improve health care efficiency and effectiveness, the university said in a news release issued Wednesday afternoon.

Dr. Christina Ricks and her husband, David A. Ricks, the chair and CEO of pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly and Co., are the primary leaders of the foundation.

James “Jim” Bullard, a dean for the Daniels School of Business, said in the release, “Considering the health care situation in the U.S. today, there is a clear need for rigorous, market-informed research that challenges conventional thinking and drives new solutions. This institute will allow Purdue to lead that work and make a lasting difference.”

As Purdue works to develop its relatively new Indianapolis campus, the university recently announced that plans for a 12-story apartment building on recently acquired canal property in Indianapolis are now on hold as the university develops its campus, Mirror Indy reported.

CLEVELAND (WJW) — The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified skeletal remains found earlier this month at a home on Cleveland’s east side as a woman who’s been missing since 2019.

Paige Natassia Coffey, of Bratenahl, Ohio, was reported missing on May 17, 2019, after having no contact with family members for several days, according to the FBI.

Coffey was 27 years old at the time of her disappearance and would have turned 35 later this year.

Coffey was last seen on May 7, 2019, at a Home Depot in Cleveland, according to investigators.

Cleveland Missing on Wednesday, April 29, released a statement on behalf of Coffey’s family:

“They are devastated by this loss, and we at Cleveland Missing grieve alongside them,” wrote co-founder Sylvia Colon. “They wish to extend their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who helped search for Paige, and to the members of the media who kept her story alive.”

Her remains were found on April 17, 2026, at a vacant home on the city’s east side, according to the medical examiner’s office.

The cause and manner of Coffey’s death are still under investigation.

The Bratenahl police chief told Nexstar’s NewsNation last year they had identified a person of interest in the case: Coffey’s former boyfriend, with whom she had recently reunited.

The last time Coffey was seen was with Mason, on a store’s surveillance footage from May 2019, reported NewsNation.

Federal court records show Mason has been jailed since 2024, awaiting trial on a firearm charge in Ohio’s Northern District federal court.

Greg Nelsen, FBI Cleveland special agent in charge, released a statement earlier this year, asking the public for new leads:

“We understand someone with information may be hesitant to come forward out of fear. Know that your identity can remain anonymous when sharing information with the FBI. We encourage anyone with information, no matter how long it has been, how insignificant you may think it is, or if there are details you may now remember, such as overhearing or recalling another person discussing Paige, seeing her with another person during or since the time she went missing, or knowing someone who may have information that we should talk to and think that person could be helpful in the investigation, to step up.”

The FBI recently offered a $10,000 reward for information on her whereabouts.
