I used to love, and I still do, Lee Ann Womack. And Alison Krauss. I mean, how many Grammys does she have? She's just remained solid and true and great, and I respect that. Kacey Musgraves alisonanngrammy Change image and share on social
I'm thrilled that country music fans like my stuff, but so do a lot of people outside of country music, people who just love music. My goal is more to reach music lovers than to appeal to a genre. I love country music, and I'm proud to represent it, but I don't obsess over it as a category. Kacey Musgraves appealcategorycountry share on social
I love words. They're fun. I don't think any word can just be filler. There's no room for it. It's like a puzzle. Every song can be written a million times. How can you say it differently? Kacey Musgraves differentlyfillerfun Change image and share on social
Lee Ann Womack is from near where I grew up in East Texas, so I've always looked up to her. I sang a lot of Dolly Parton as a kid and a lot of traditional western swing, like Patsy Cline and Roy Rogers. Kacey Musgraves annclinedolly share on social
In the beginning, I wrote OK songs, but they didn't have a unique perspective. Kacey Musgraves beginperspectivesong Change image and share on social
Too many people focus on writing what they think they should write, what should be in a song, what radio would want. Kacey Musgraves focuspeopleradio Change image and share on social
I didn't necessarily grow up in a trailer park, but there is a brief part of that in my life. So I can make fun of it a little bit. I'm not too much of an outsider, where I'm just making fun of someone. Kacey Musgraves bitefungrow share on social
I needed to really pursue music and learn what I needed to learn on my own by getting in and doing it, not by reading a book about it. Kacey Musgraves booklearnmusic Change image and share on social
I love vintage cowboy boots, and some days I'm into platform stilettos encrusted in jewels. It's really all over the place. Kacey Musgraves bootcowboyday Change image and share on social
I love Lee Ann Womack and John Prine. That's kind of my ideal cross point. If I can sing it like Lee Ann would and say it like John would, then I feel like I've gotten somewhere. Kacey Musgraves anncrossfeel Change image and share on social
