A Country Music singer from Golden, Texas, Kacey Lee Musgraves (born August 21, 1988) was first exposed to the world in 2007 when she placed seventh on season five of Nashville Star.Although she had been recording since 2002, she did not get her breakout until she appeared on Josh Abbott Band's 2011 single "Oh, Tonight". After that, she signed with Mercury and released her album Same Trailer Different Park, which has produced three country singles: "Merry Go 'Round", "Blowin' Smoke", and "Follow Your Arrow". She also co-wrote and sang backing vocals on Miranda Lambert's "Mama's Broken Heart", and has written songs for the Nashville soundtrack. In 2014, she won the Grammy Award for Best Country Song ("Merry Go 'Round") and Best Country Album for Same Trailer Different Park. Her second album, Pageant Material, was released in 2015.Her third album, Golden Hour, was released in 2018 to great critical success. It won her the 2019 Grammy for Best Album (along with three other awards), making her the first country artist to win the top prize of the night since Taylor Swift won for Fearless in 2010. In 2019, she contributed a song entitled “All Is Found” to the Frozen II soundtrack. Her fourth album, star-crossed , was released in September of 2021.She was married to fellow country artist Ruston Kelly from 2017 to 2020.

Darker and Edgier

comment
Darker and Edgier: Her music, in general, is quite edgy compared to most other country music. See the lyrics for "Follow Your Arrow" for details - MANY people in the notoriously conservative country music community wanted her burned at stake for writing such a blatantly liberal song. "Back On The Map" is this compared to most of her songs. The Signature Style mentioned below is replaced by a sad, somber tone as the singer reflects on her regrets and wishes for a better future. star-crossed is her darkest album yet, especially compared to Golden Hour.

Vaporwave
 Kacey Musgraves (Music) / int_34a48e7c
comment
Vaporwave: Although the song itself is not an example, the lyric video for "High Horse" uses very vaporwave-inspired graphics. Moreover, "Oh, What A World" off the same album does exhibit some vaporwave influences in its use of synthetic vocals. Finally, some of her official social-media accounts (e.g. her official YouTube) render her name as "K A C E Y M U S G R A V E S", suggesting she has more than a passing familiarity with the style.

Downer Ending
 Kacey Musgraves (Music) / int_4e3d253b
comment
Downer Ending: Same Trailer, Different Park ends with "It Is What It Is," a somber number about a couple who is no longer sure that they still love each other but are staying together, possibly out of boredom with their lives. Pageant Material ends with a very depressing Willie Nelson duet about a loved one who has given up on life and now spends his days at a bar populated by depressed and bitter has-beens.

Break Up Song: "Dandelion" is about her new partner who leave her heartbroken just like her previous one. "It Is What It Is" is about a couple who didn't love each other anymore but stay together because they don't have any better options. "Space Cowboy" is about a woman who let her boyfriend go because they don't love each other anymore. Most of star-crossed is about her divorce.

Deconstruction: "Merry Go 'Round" is a deconstruction of the myriad country songs celebrating small town life. Not only the people in the town experience crushing Small Town Boredom, the lifestyle actively stifles their potential that compel them to keep looking for distraction from their boredom and can't seem to escape.

comment
Silly Love Songs: "Butterflies," "Love is a Wild Thing," "Velvet Elvis," and "Golden Hour" off Golden Hour, no doubt inspired by Kacey's then-recent marriage. "Golden Hour" in particular is sufficiently soppy as to work well as as a slow dance at a wedding. (Which isn't a bad thing, to be honest.)

comment
Saved for the Sequel: “Rainbow” was written in 2012 for Same Trailer Different Park but didn’t make the cut. It was her grandmother’s favorite song that happened to be the last one finished before she passed away. She even sang the song at the funeral so she didn’t want to put it on Pageant Material because of its recency. The song finally found its way onto Golden Hour.

Take That!: "Good Ol' Boys Club" is a take-that against the tight corporate mentality of Nashville, including the line "another gear in a big machine", an obvious jab at Big Machine Records, a large independent country music label.

Decon-Recon Switch: "Space Cowboy" is written from the perspective of the girlfriend who let her own lover goes using the imagery the old Western The Drifter cowboys riding off to the sunset. Said imagery is portrayed in a bittersweet manner: On one hand, the relationship between them is over and they likely will never see each other again... but both of them no longer love each other and is moving on with their lives.
