Wins Four Grammy Awards,
Including ‘Album Of The Year’
Releases Stunning New Music
Video For ‘Rainbow’
In tandem with her
breath-taking performance of new single ‘Rainbow’ on the 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards, Kacey has shared the song’s official
music video. Directed by Hannah Lux Davies (Ariana Grande, ‘Thank U, Next’),
the cinematic visual is a heartfelt message of hope for anyone facing
adversity, echoing the song’s lyrics that “it’ll all be alright.” Kacey has
been a vocal LGBTQ+ ally since her career began and has worked to make country
music a more queer-friendly space.
The 61st Annual Grammy Awards (2018)
It has been a monumental year
for critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter Kacey
Musgraves, who took home four GRAMMY Awards including the top prize, ‘Album
of The Year’ and ‘Best Country Album’ for her No.1 third studio album ‘Golden
Hour’, ‘Best Country Solo Performance’ for ‘Butterflies’, and ‘Best Country
Song’ for ‘Space Cowboy’. People predicted that “Kacey Musgraves just might be
the GRAMMY Awards’ golden girl this year,” and Kacey has now made history as
the first female solo artist to win ‘Best Country Album’ twice. These wins
bring Kacey’s career total up to six.

Upon ‘Golden Hour’s release,
GQ declared the track “arguably the best song she’s ever recorded,” describing
it as “an emotional wallop that’ll knock you sideways if you’re not prepared,”
and Noisey pronounced it “a stunner, which makes majesty out of familiar
balladry.”
The
Tennessean observes, “in terms of audience, ‘Golden Hour’ has
launched Musgraves into her own orbit. Its sophisticated, synthesized take on
country-pop has clicked with all sorts of listeners.” These listeners include
fans of both Harry Styles and Little Big Town, whom Kacey joined on tour, as
well as global audiences from her headlining Oh, What a World: Tour dates to
Stagecoach, C2C: Country to Country Festival in the U.K., Fuji Rocks in Japan,
and Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 in South Africa. Kacey is currently on
the North American leg of her Oh, What a World: Tour, recently adding 17 new shows
in response to overwhelming demand.
