Kacey Musgraves' Museum Exhibit Allows Her Time to Reflect

Associated Press

   NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - Kacey Musgraves' career has been moving and
   changing fast over the last couple of years, leaving little time for
   reflection until she saw her life chronicled behind museum glass.
   Musgraves is the subject of a [1]new exhibit at the Country Music Hall
   of Fame and Museum that opens Tuesday and runs through June 2020. The
   exhibit follows the critically acclaimed "Golden Hour" in 2018 that
   earned Musgraves four Grammys this year including country album of the
   year and album of the year, beating fellow nominees Drake, Cardi B and
   Brandi Carlile.
   "I think a lot of people that night were like, 'Who is this girl?'"
   Musgraves said. "Which is a funny conundrum to be winning album of the
   year, and to have people saying, `Who are you?' But in a way, I kind of
   love that."
   The exhibit called "Kacey Musgraves: All of the Colors" comes as the
   30-year-old Texas singer has blossomed into a cross-genre star whose
   emotional and clever lyrics and inventive style, blending country with
   electronic, disco and spacey pop sounds has earned her plenty of new
   fans.
   "Too often I can just speed onto the next thing without really soaking
   in what just happened," Musgraves told The Associated Press after
   seeing her memorabilia on display for the first time Monday evening.
   ``It really did hit me in an emotional way and I didn't think it
   would.''

   The exhibit starts with photos of Musgraves as a child performer
   singing and yodeling classic Western songs and dressed in jeans and
   cowboy hats, through her early years in Nashville as a songwriter
   penning songs with Miranda Lambert and to her Grammy-winning
   major-label debut album in 2013, "Same Trailer, Different Park." Early
   in her career, Musgraves established herself as a unique artist willing
   to challenge radio programmers with songs like "Merry Go `Round" --
   which won a Grammy award for best country song in 2014 -- and "Follow
   Your Arrow," song of the year winner at the 2014 Country Music
   Association Awards.
