Interview by Holly Gleason
Kacey Musgraves is wearing a black sleeveless jumpsuit embroidered with flowers at the waist. Her hair is back-combed into a retro free-fall tumble, eyes cat-eyed and kohled to perfect ’60s perfection. Having won Grammys, CMA and ACM awards for her folk-hard country Same Trailer, Different Park, all eyes are on the Golden, Texas-raised singer/songwriter and her wildly acclaimed new set, Pageant Material.
With her clear-eyed commentary on hypocrisy, small-town dynamics and being true to oneself, she is a refreshing—if somewhat outsider voice in today’s Nashville. She’s toured with Katy Perry, Kenny Chesney, Willie Nelson and Allison Krauss, proving the universality of true songs delivered from a place of pure intent.
