Kacey Musgraves’ Golden Year
KACEY MUSGRAVES IS TAKING A much-needed break. The past year has been a whirlwind for the genre-bending musician, one that took her on an international tour and saw a coveted Grammy Album of the Year win for her fourth studio album, Golden Hour. Musgraves has proven her worth in a variety of genres. She’s considered country by some, pop by others and can house her talents in the singer/songwriter category any day.
Musgraves seemingly hasn’t had a moment to breathe since the album was released in March 2018. She picks up the phone with a cheer in her voice, relevant to the topic at hand. Throughout our conversation, she talks about her love of reinventing Christmas music, writing songs and the polarizing reaction that hooked fans of a multitude of genres to the soothing, otherworldly. She’s spoken about it all hundreds of times, I can assume. Still, a wave of genuine gratitude is audible in everything she says.
