Chanteuse
Country US née Kacey Lee Musgraves, le 21 Août 1988 à Sulphur Springs (Texas).
At the
outset of her career, Kacey Musgraves bent country tradition to her will,
writing songs that evoked the sound of classic country but were infused with
progressive ideas that reflected her millennial perspective. "Merry Go Round"
and "Follow Your Hits," the big singles from her 2013 major-label debut, Same
Trailer Different Park, crystallized this gift and helped establish Musgraves as
a major voice in country music: she was the rare country singer who could cross
over to a rock audience without playing pop. By the end of the decade, she
expanded her musical horizons so they mirrored her expansive lyrical stance, a
shift showcased on her 2018 album, Golden Hour.
Born and raised in the East Texas town of Golden, Kacey Musgraves began writing
songs when she was just eight years old, not long after she picked up a mandolin.
By 12, she knew how to play guitar and began to write her own songs, teaming
with Alina Tatum as Texas Two Bits for a self-released album called Little Bit
of Texas in 2000. Throughout her adolescence, she'd write, sing, and play,
performing at local festivals on occasion and releasing a series of independent
albums -- Movin' On (2002), Wanted: One Good Cowboy(2003), and Kacey Musgraves (2007)
-- along the way.
After graduating high school, Musgraves moved to Austin, where she would sing on
songwriting demos while working on music of her own. She also took a stab at the
televised musical competition Nashville Star, appearing on the fifth installment
of the CMT series; she was eliminated four weeks into the season, placing
seventh overall. Her appearance, along with her independent recordings,
eventually attracted the attention of major labels, and she signed with Mercury
Nashville in 2012. By the end of the year, she had supported Lady
Antebellum on tour and released a debut single, "Merry Go Round." In March
2013, "Merry Go Round" peaked at number ten on Billboard's Country Airplay chart,
setting up the release of her full-length debut, Same Trailer Different Park --
which also arrived that March -- quite nicely.
Produced by Shane McAnally, Luke Laird, and Musgraves, Same Trailer Different
Park debuted at number two on Billboard's Top 200, earned positive reviews, and
spawned two additional hit singles, "Blowin' Smoke" and "Follow Your Arrow," on
its way to a gold certification. The album also snagged the Academy of Country
Music Award for Album of the Year. The success of Same Trailer Different Park helped
position Musgraves as one of the hottest stars in country music, raising
expectations for her second album, Pageant Material. Arriving in June of 2013,
the album debuted at three on the Top 200 but the record stalled out on the
country charts; its lead single, "Biscuits," peaked at 41 on the Country Airplay
chart, and "Dime Store Cowgirl" never made that chart.
Musgraves released the cheerfully retro A Very Kacey Christmas in October 2016,
then set to work on her third album of original material in 2017. Produced
by Daniel Tashian and Ian
Fitchuk, 2018's Golden
Hour boasted a sleek, modern sheen that sounded more contemporary than
either of its predecessors, capturing fans in the pop and indie realms. The
critically acclaimed crossover set went on to top numerous year-end lists and,
in early 2019, won Album of the Year at the 61st Grammy Awards. In addition to
that top honor, she also won for Best Country Album, Best Country Song ("Space
Cowboy"), and Best Country Solo Performance ("Butterflies"). In the wake of her
wins, "Rainbow" was pulled as the fifth single from Golden
Hour; it made it to 33 on Country Airplay and 98 on the Billboard Hot 100.
At the end of 2019, Musgraves celebrated
the holiday season with The
Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show, a tongue-in-cheek television special for
Amazon Prime that also had its audio track released as an album. As an album, The
Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show peaked at 120 on Billboard.
During 2020, Musgraves indulged
in a number of cameos, appearing on American
Head by the Flaming
Lips and on Shape
& Destroy, the second album by her husband Ruston
Kelly. The pair fell in love during the creation of Golden
Hour and married in October 2017. By the time Shape
& Destroy saw release in August 2020, the couple filed for divorce. Musgraves chronicled
the dissolution of their marriage on Star-Crossed,
the followup to Golden
Hour. Released on September 10, 2021, Star-Crossed found Musgraves reuniting
with Ian
Fitchuk and Daniel
Tashian, the co-producers of Golden
Hour, for a contemplative, atmospheric record that expanded upon the
genre-bending aesthetic of her Grammy-winning breakthrough.
