If you’re itching to know where the singer got her start, we have the answer.
Here’s a look at the stunning transformation of Kacey Musgraves.
When she got bored, Musgraves said her mom always had a solution.
As she explained toBillboard, her rural upbringing got her excited about creating art from a young age.
Like other children her age, she was immersed in ’90s music and culture.
That’s definitely a win!
Like a true young country star, she was always decked out in “boots and rhinestones.”
Musgraves recalled how her whole family supported her musician ambitions.
Later, her grandmother even paid for her first self-released album.
Hey, it takes a village!
As a teenager, Musgraves helped out in the shop in her spare time.
Still, her parents' shop gave her a lasting appreciation for small business owners.
As Musgraves recalled, DeFoore thought the place was “full of spirits.”
As Musgraves explained toThe Guardian, DeFoore’s teaching technique was different for every student.
Apparently, his unorthodox method consisted of asking Musgraves to write a song between each class.
He would instruct her to tape her songs and listen closely to her chord choices and question them.
As Musgraves explained toVanity Fair,living in Austin on her own helped her to grow up.
Musgraves went on to explain that she then moved to Nashville where she pursued her singing career in earnest.
“I jumped right in,” Musgraves explained.
She continued, saying, “I didn’t have a backup plan; I was super fearless.”
It was during this period that she self-released three albums in an effort to get her career going.
Apparently, these were her cowboy hat, fringed jacket days.
Musgraves continued, saying, “I was very young and figuring myself out musically and personally.”
The show was about the country music industry in Nashville.
It was on this show that Musgraves met her future husband, fellow singer-songwriter Ruston Kelly.
Musgraves went on to explain that the happy relationship that followed actually inspired her to be even more creative.
It sounds like Musgraves truly found her match in Kelly.
Musgraves explained that she thinks the label is a little misplaced.
Countless articles refer to her “rebellious spirit” or her “rebel twang.”
In 2020,Teen Voguespoke to Musgraves' stylist, Erica Cloud.
Cloud explained that she was brought onto the team to help Musgraves change directions stylistically with her 2018 album.
Cloud explained that because the album had such a different sound, a different look was required.
We have to say, Musgraves' makeover definitely has our approval!
AsGlamournoted, her previous album was filled with witticisms and wordplay.
Apparently, “she was looking to change things up.”
She told the magazine, “I was craving something different.
If a painter used the exact same medium every time, they would probably get so bored.”
She went on to explain to the magazine how changes in her life made her rethink her musical style.
When she was writing the album, she hadjust met her husband.
“I started to see the world in a more fond, pretty light,” she explained.
Plus, she was nearing her thirtieth birthday, which made her contemplate her future in more depth.
It’s no wonder the album has such a thoughtful, sun-kissed feel!
