Country music sensation Kacey Musgraves, who for some reason performed on “Saturday Night Live” in October wearing only cowboy boots and a guitar, likely will bring a bit more wardrobe to town during her “Star-Crossed: Unveiled” tour.

Winner of six Grammy Awards, seven Country Music Association Awards and three Academy of Country Music Awards, Musgraves released her latest album, “Star-Crossed,” in September.

She will appear 8 p.m. Jan. 21 at the T-Mobile Center. Tickets ($39.50-$159.50) are available at t-mobilecenter.com.

The Midwest Trust Center Kids Jam Series will present Dino O’Dell, aka Kevin Dolan, on Jan. 22 at Johnson County Community College’s Polsky Theatre.
