It
has been a monumental year for critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter
Kacey Musgraves, who took home four GRAMMY Awards including
Album of The Year and Best Country Album for her #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.
In tandem with her breathtaking performance of new single “Rainbow”
on the 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards, Kacey has shared the song’s
official video. The cinematic visual is a heartfelt message
of hope for anyone facing adversity, echoing the song’s lyrics
that “it’ll all be alright.” 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 single has been serviced simultaneously to AC,
Hot AC, Triple A and Country radio. Listen to and watch “Rainbow”

Golden
Hour has received overwhelming praise and support since
its release in March 2018, and Variety notes,
“it’s hard to imagine that within the next couple of years Kacey
Musgraves won’t be one of the biggest stars in music.” Kacey
made her debut on Saturday Night Live with “High
Horse” and “Slow Burn,” and made additional high-profile TV
appearances surrounding Golden Hour’s release, including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, TODAY,
The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Late Late
Show with James Corden,and
Jimmy Kimmel Live! Golden Hour, which earned Kacey her
third #1 debut on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, was
named Apple Music’s Global Album of the Year,
and has been celebrated as one of the best albums of 2018 by
outlets across the board including NPR,
The Associated Press, Time, Rolling Stone,
Billboard, Pitchfork, Entertainment Weekly,
Esquire, Complex, Consequence of Sound,
USA Today, Noisey,
Stereogum, People,and Vulture, among others. The album continues
to break boundaries, historically winning Album of the Year
at the CMA Awards, with Kacey becoming the first female
to win the category in 4 years and only the sixth female to
do so in the show’s 52-year history. This April, Kacey will
become the first-ever female country artist to play Coachella.
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. Tickets are available now via http://www.kaceymusgraves.com/tour.
