The Untold Truth Of Country Star Kacey Musgraves 

I don't think you can compare her to Lana Del Ray. Unless you are comparing styles in fashion. She reminds me more of a modern Dolly Parton. She is so creative.

"not your grandma's country star" Have you ever listened to Dolly Parton ? She tackled labour rights, women's issues, and various other social issues in her music. As did a hell of a lot of other classic country musicians. Folsom Prison Blues? Sixteen Tons? Johnny Paycheck? We haven't seen mainstream Country/Western artists do this in a couple of generations. She is EXACTLY your grandma's country star.

I had the opportunity to see her live in concert when she opened for Harry Styles. I’ve listened to her music ever since. I’m a late fan but I’ve supported her ever since then. She’s amazing

I’m a long time fan of Kacey (6 years) and it isn’t a “new” genre she’s doing - it’s called outlaw country. Like Willie Nelson, she just goes against the mold and sings about things that aren’t usually touched upon in country music.

"Grandma cried when I pierced my nose" 😊

Here's the thing. Old country back in the day was songs about issues of the day. Kacey also sings about issues of the day. Maybe Country Radio is the one that changed things by demanding that true country is about singing about issues of the past which is not original country. Just a thought.

Merry Go Round and Dime Store Cowgirl are my favorites. Love Golden Hour too 💜

Just saw her in concert a week ago! 🖤 LOVE UU SPACEY KACY!!

I love Kacy! Her voice is so sweet and touching! Her album “Pageant Material” did not get enough recognition!

To be an original is a good thing. That's what made Dolly great, it's what made Willie great, it made Taylor great. Keep being your original self.

I'm so glad she didn't give her Arrow song away to Katy Perry. I loved so much shooting a bow and arrow as a kid and it took me back some years to see her shoot, walk over and fetch her arrow in the Follow Your Arrow Official Video. I always had a bow and arrow as a kid and still have one to this day albeit way more powerful than the 25lb recurved bow I used to shoot. When she shot that arrow it felt like cupid shot me strait in the heart and I saw fireworks bursting into shimmering hearts and slowly fading!

Discovered her when she performed "High Horse" on the Ellen Show. Her style captivated me and I have been listening to her ever since

i did a music video to one of her songs, also obsessed with space cowboy. i’m so happy she’s getting recognition she’s earned!!!

kacey is amazing. love that she's not scared to say that everyone deserves equality. country music has not been kind referring to LGBT issues and people.

Voice of an angel!! I seen her perform at red rocks with John Prine. She's unbelievable!!

I have loved her since hearing merry go round because it makes me think of my home time and I love all of her music

our yee hawin' queen! the recognition she deserves!!!!!

Someone, finally setting country music afire again.

Hong Kong fan here!! I hope I can be bold and true to myself just like Kacey. She is a very unique and talented artist who really deserves more credit!!

Kacey you have come along way. The music business sucks. But yet you made it. That is awesome. Cheers James.

She’s so cool I wish I had found her earlier!

I love her so much been here since the beginning

Its not really a new genre. Its outlaw country which intentionally goes against the nashville mainstream sound. Its not a new thing for radio to refuse to play an artist that doesn't fit the majority of the audiences views. I've loved her since Same Trailer and I love that she is being more appreciated but she's stuck in the middle of having views of a crowd that doesn't listen to country. Yes, she should be more recognized, but people need to be more open minded.

Love Kacey! She is unique and her voice is incredible!!

She gets a fair share of airtime on SiriusXM the highway love her music and can’t wait to hear more

Been here since the very beginning and couldn’t be happier that she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves.

The SNL live version of, Slow Burn, is so epic! It stirs so many feelings for me. And being a Black man from Chicago, I just felt that I could relate in many ways. I'm glad she persisted in following her passion. And since Blacks are responsible for a lot of country music, I highly appreciate Kacey's willingness to make sure folks don't try to claim what isn't just theirs but everyone's!

I love that she has self confidence and finds her way to what is true for her and makes her happy ...Her talents are off the charts ...One day one of her songs is going to blow up like happy did for pharrell and the whole world will know her then ...Wait and see she's that good ... Meanwhile I'm a big fan !!!

Nobody better EVER compare her to Taylor Swift or so help me you will have yeed your last haw

She’s COUNTRY. Not like the rest of these pop girls that wear boots from time to time... Keep it up Kacey 😍🤘🏻

Thank you Kacey for creating an opening for me to appreciate and enjoy this type of country music whereas before, I was put off simply because I thought it represented something repressive and exclusive. I often feel like I wish I could travel and get to know Americans from the middle of the country but felt that I would be ostracized or even hurt somehow. I am now a believer in the power of transcendence through music! I can now add country music to my list of genres I like! And now to open up to the other ones I've closed myself off to........

I respect her talent and control of her career. But I like the earlier philosophical songs better than this newer stuff with all the edges smoothed.

Never heard of her,but I’ll give her a listen.😊

Hey that's a pretty dope shot at 3:50, I wonder who shot it .

I first discovered her on Austin City Limits in 2018 singing Golden Hour . She's one of my favorite artists . How can you NOT like her ?

I think she's adorable, she's a little different,she's a great songwriter, everything isn't peaches and cream in life

SHES AWSOME!!!! wow how did I just find her

I myself am from the same East Texas environment that is not only lost in time but lost in itself. When I say lost I mean a respitory therapist still blows smoke up the asses of drowning victims. She is the breath of fresh air this stale environment needs, but many within this enviroment are scared to death of anyone, woman or man, who can present a new concept in thinking and living. I served with many heroes while in the Marines, now in the enviroment of East Texas lost in time, she is the hero of both the present and the future East Texans for she is idealistic in an otherwise stagnant enviroment lost in its own memories of grandeur. She has the type of faith so many here in the bible belt fear. She has faith in herself, her abilities, and the message within the words of her music. Bible thumpers and verse laden people here will say Only thru faith in the Lord can one believe in themselves. She has proven by having faith in oneself the God believes in you. She is a Rolex from a sun dial enviroment.

Follow Your Arrow might be iconic, but Merry Go 'Round is waaaaaaay better

She's an amazing human 💕

Kacey should never be compared to anyone, Kacey is one of a kind, the greatest of all time. The music scene will never see the likes of this talent ever again.

I'm a Club DJ, Casey Musgraves is the ONLY Country artist I mix in, ever. THANK YOU, CASEY!!!!

A big breath of fresh air.

Ok, I've changed my mind about her. You go GIRL!! Be controversial!!!! You have a gift.

"Certain kinds of people will always have an issue with my music. But that's fine, it's OK. I don't want to be the McDonald's of music. If you were everybody's cup of tea, you'd probably be boring." Now that is inspiration right there. Top class!

I heard Slow Burn and was blown away.

I love her!

She is just absolutely beautiful with a wonderful voice.

Well, I'm a new fan and I love her. Honestly is where music lives.

My favorite female country singer ❤️

I saw her opening up for harry styles ! She’s amazing

I Love This Girl !! Who is she?? Great songs. I hope I see her around...WooHoo

i just heard of her couple weeks ago; obvi she's a big deal. She looks like Paris Hilton

So underrated! LOVE HER!❤️

I'm reading the comments with a country accent in my head

Having a viewpoint and sticking to it despite backlash is something I respect. Whether its pissing off conservatives or liberals. Most people panic and apologize. I see that as weakness

Such an icon!

They're just scared she's gonna run wild all over OLD Country!!!!! LOL I love it.

Keep doin, what you’re doing girl! The world is a better place with you in it! 💕

I guess it's time to check out some of her music.

I honestly didn't know about Kacey until she covered Selena Quintanilla in Houston.

The identity of _traditional_ country music was never been restricted to blue-collar white folks. The genre has roots in blues and old-time as well various styles of folk music. The problem is that commercialized modern country forgot its eclectic roots and started playing almost exclusively to a very narrow audience. That ended up backfiring, as now a lot of artists feel the need to infuse country with other genres in order to make it interesting and marketable.

So freaking beautiful

Loooooooove her and her music ❤️

The Queen! ❤️👑🍃❤️

I love her! She's so down to earth

Love my queen

BEAUTIFUL SONG FAN ERWIN FROM GERMANY.

Being true to who she is, that's what makes her the creative singer and songwriter she is as well as an all around great person. In a world of cookie cutter crap it is so refreshing to listen to her unique music.

Very talented girl!

Love me some Kacey Musgraves!

She’s literally perfect

Big fan of Musgraves. I love that she does her own thing. Thst is what makes her special.

i love Kacey so much. her voice is so simple and classic from country music nowadays.

She’s incredible. Top of the females in country in my humble opinion.

I LOOOOOVE HER WOW

Gorgeous and artsy, her husband is one lucky man

She's gorgeous

She like most of us is somewhat an enigma. Or a mix, if you will? She's so captivating I can't help but fall head over heals for her and wanting all the success she can attain. That said, it is a very important fact that all music is hypnotic causing us to attribute way too much power to its enticements and the good feelings it inspires. It also cause us to attribute way too much adoration and intelligence to the talent and beauty. I do give her credit for seeing threw most of all this herself for the most part. It is that very trait and her seeing threw all this that allows here to both possess and to come fresh to her unspoiled down homeyness and fresh to each song. You go Girl. But there are some definite dangers: Drugs, or any mind altering substances are dead end mistresses that entices all of us with it's lies. And one last danger. The music business is run by money grubbers who will literally run her into the ground with rigorous night after night scheduling until she drops if she lets them. Yes, this industry is a slow burn until one is just burned out and thrown to the ash heap the public never see. Yes, I'm a real fan of yours Kacey, but be super cautious about perils of drugs and the greedy money grubbers. P. S. It was not until I came to my very own knowledge of who Jesus really is (not someone else's version) that I got the answers I'm espousing here.

Omg I'm crying

Terrific review of Kacey Musgraves. The only portion of this video incorrect about Musgraves, is that she can not be considered anywhere near Taylor Swift. Musgraves is clearly, more talented and honorable in her humility. Musgraves appears as a sleek brown haired angel, to the liking of a modern Crystal Gale and the mystery of June Carter Cash. She is a truly talented woman who clearly is country with a bit a glitz. Enjoyable and relevant mix of songs that are spiritual and even Godly.

I love the song she did with Brooks and Dunn neon moon!

She stands behind her work & isn’t afraid to go against the grain! Reminds me of someone I really love...Christina Aguilera.

She is one of the few modern "Country" singers I like, but it ain't Country music. It doesn't fit in any genre as far as I'm concerned. I just like it.

A top artist, a top human, never stop playing your music Kacey

❤❤❤

💖💖💖

Most succesful crossover country artist in history of the genre is not Taylor Swift...it´s Shania Twain!

Buy and listen to Golden Hour. Prozac in an album. She is amazing.

She is Classy, fun, & beautiful, w/great voice,& great talent, WOW love her!!!

She was "on the scene" long before 2013.. she had a duet with Josh abbbot in 2009. Which i sang to on a daily basis when it came out haha and i dont even care for country music much.

i usually hate country music, but her album is amazing

Just had a friend who recommended Rainbow for me. So grateful 💗 True talent not technology! Please Kasey keep your head up and listen to your grandmother 💪

love her

Wow

This is my mother

my baby queen

Don’t change a thing Kasey!

I. LOVE. HER. 💕

I’m not trying to hate on this channel I actually enjoy their content and I feel it’s well informed, however, if you don’t know all your fact about something, don’t make a informative video about it. Country is more than the stereotypical stuff you think of. It was really the drive for America’s storytelling and a push for creativity. Don’t act like it’s all twang about beer. It’s more than that! Kacey Is just taking the initiative to carry on our roots to a younger audience. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
