When Savannah Guthrie announced she'd be taking some time off from the Today show on February 12, it almost felt like you could see the tears welling up in her eyes. But the reason behind her emotional moment might surprise you. It wasn't just a random vacation—it was something much more personal.
Kacey Musgraves to Perform on Today
During a lively segment hosted by Carson Daly, it was revealed that the talented Kacey Musgraves would be gracing the Today stage on March 15. "She'll be here, performing live, as part of our Citi Concert Series," Carson, who turned 50 not too long ago, enthusiastically told the audience and his fellow hosts. The excitement was palpable, and the news brought a buzz to the studio.
Savannah’s Reaction to the News
Savannah, who just celebrated her 52nd birthday, couldn't contain her surprise when she heard the news about Kacey’s appearance. "What?!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with disbelief. The moment was followed by a few gasps from the crew, making it clear that this was unexpected and exciting news. "You should’ve seen Savannah’s face when she just heard that," Al Roker chimed in, adding to the playful banter.

Why Savannah Won’t Be There
Unfortunately, Savannah won’t be present to witness Kacey’s performance that day. "I’m off that day because it’s my 10th anniversary," she said, making a crying face and pretending to shed tears, which made the moment even more endearing. Savannah, who has been happily married to Mike Feldman since 2014, shares two wonderful children, Vale and Charles, with him. It’s clear that family always comes first for her.
Craig Melvin playfully asked, "So, who are you going to pick — Mike or Kacey?" Savannah, without hesitation, replied, "I’m gonna pick my honey." Al Roker and Carson Daly, in unison, teased, "What about Mike?" This hilarious exchange had everyone laughing, highlighting the warm camaraderie among the co-hosts.
For those who follow Savannah on social media, it’s no secret that she often posts heartfelt messages dedicated to her husband Mike on Instagram. In a sweet October 2023 post, she wrote, "Mike, man of many talents — husband, father, friend + grill master and pizza maestro. Happy birthday to my sweet love @feldmike." Maybe this year, Mike will take her to see Kacey live in concert—it’s always good to have something to look forward to!
Kacey’s Previous Performance and New Album
Kacey last performed on the Today show back in July 2019, where she sang tracks from her Grammy-winning album, Golden Hour. Savannah was there, enjoying the performance just before Kacey announced the second leg of her world tour, which included shows at the iconic Radio City Music Hall in New York City. This time around, March 15 marks the release of Kacey’s new album, Deeper Well, giving fans plenty of new music to enjoy.
"It’s a collection of songs I hold very dear to my heart. I hope it makes a home in all of your hearts, too," Kacey shared on Instagram, teasing what fans can expect from her latest work. Whether or not Savannah can make it to a concert this year, she’ll definitely have some great new tunes to enjoy on her anniversary trip.
