Ahead of the performance, Baker and Torres, whose real name is Mackenzie Scott, sat down with Kosta to discuss the album and to describe the inspiration behind their nudie suits, which were made by Union Western.
'Julien and I have been friends for a while and when the pandemic lockdown occurred I texted her, kind of out of the blue, because I'd been thinking about making a country record for while,' Scott explained of the collaboration. 'But I didn't want to do it alone. And Julien was the first person I thought of because she's from Tennessee. I'm from Georgia. It just made sense.'
The pair also talked about how the album is being labeled 'queer country.' 'I'm certainly proud of that,' Scott said. 'We're queer. But if it were up to me it would just be country.'
Baker and Torres will hit the road in support of Send a Prayer My Way on April 23 at the National in Richmond, Virginia. Their North American tour will continue through May 12 at the Admiral in Omaha, Nebraska. The duo also have a bunch of festival dates scheduled before and after the run, including sets at Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, Tennessee in late March, as well as Zootown Music Festival in Missoula, Montana in July.

Trisha Paytas Pushes Back on Reincarnation Conspiracies: ‘My Baby Is Just a Baby'
Trisha Paytas probably feels like a passenger on Ozzy Osbourne's 'Crazy Train' as the internet continues to push conspiracies that her newborn baby, Aquaman, is the musician reincarnated. 'My baby is just a baby y'all,' the social media figure captioned a TikTok post where she played the song with the aside, 'What plays in my head 12 days postpartum and the internet won't stop with the reincarnation conspiracies.' Paytas gave birth on July 12, but didn't make the grand reveal online until July 22. Within hours of her announcement, news broke that Osbourne had died at the age of 76. Suddenly, there was a collective sense of déjà vu. As her comment section filled with people joking 'Welcome back, Ozzy,' it called to mind the fervor around her daughter Malibu, who was born the same day that Queen Elizabeth II died in 2022. The reincarnation jokes had reincarnated themselves.

'The fact that my pregnancy got ruined by trolling — now, I guess, it's kind of funny and karmatic. But it just made me so upset.' In a follow-up TikTok, Paytas added: 'I know reincarnation theories about my babies are just a meme, it's just what the internet does, but I'm not gonna lie — being 12 days postpartum sometimes make you feel a little cookoo. I'm like, wait, why does the internet keep wanting to put souls into my baby? First of all, reincarnation is only one soul into one baby, if you believe in that. Second of all, you guys, I don't know much about reincarnation, I just know that the soul has to be passed along.' She admits that the Queen Elizabeth II jokes were 'kind of funny,' though she found the Pope Francis theories (she was pregnant with Aquaman when he died) less comedic. But more than anything, she said, 'It makes me sad, it makes me feel like I did something wrong.' The Osbourne jokes are even more uncomfortable for her. 'Ozzy has real family, he is such an icon,' she said. 'It's more real. Ozzy's more real. There's real people involved and I don't know if they would love being tied to [him] being reincarnated. They just lost him. And then everyone else passing away, it's not my uterus doing it.'

Although the tour had been hinted as in support of previously-titled album, Lasso, Del Rey later announced that it would be renamed The Right Person Will Stay. After the singer said it would release May 21, she shared with fans earlier this year that the LP will not 'come on time' and would get another name change. Del Rey has since made her debut at the 2025 Stagecoach festival in Indio, California, (and made an appearance during Jelly Roll's headlining set for a rendition of 'Save Me') and released two songs, 'Henry, Come On' and 'Bluebird,' from her upcoming, untitled 10th album. Meanwhile, Rae is bringing her debut album on the road and announced in June that the Addison tour will make stops across North America, Europe, and Australia as the her first headlining run set to begin in Dublin on Aug. 26.
