Facts

[@Riomojo]

Slow Burn is one of the best songs made in the past 20 years

[@CarolineHirons01]

If not ‘the’ best.

[@kendraheathscott13]

period

[@JenniferBrigitteOpticalVortex]

Golden Hour is masterpiece. Happy and Sad is my favorite song

[@alejandro3858]

golden hour is one of my favorite albums of all time for me and i don’t even like country

[@seanflynncontact]

Yes

[@jellyrcw12]

I love her. Every single album. Slow burn, merry go round, blowing smoke, justified, hook up scene, late to the party, etc. All absolute hits.

[@maxhydekyle2425]

Kacey deserves to be one of the most famous musicians in the world. She basically got blacklisted by the country music industry just because her music mentioned weed and supported gay people. Her voice is beautiful, her personality is incredible, and her songs are truly unique.

[@sunshine3914]

Country music would have anyways just because she’s Indy.

[@redbarchetta8782]

Laughable considering how many 'down home folks' smoke weed. Guess they really hate Willy Nelson.

[@dancingonmy0wn]

It's OK. Country fans will have what they deserve zzz. They gave us Kacey for us. she is already an lgtb icon. we love her, she won a grammy for AOTY and her concerts are always full of people. She doesn´t need country

[@lucgrillet5972]

!!!!!!!

[@maxhydekyle2425]

@@dancingonmy0wn She doesn't need country, country needs her. Don't lump all country fans together into the "bro country, 9/11 rah rah, git me a truck and a girl" type of fans. She was blacklisted by the radio stations and despite that she's still been very successful, so it's safe to say that country music fans want her kind of music. Country gets a bad rep these days because, ever since 9/11, it's all been very shallow, patriotic, and mostly meaningless music that rises to the top. The thing is, country music used to be very progressive, rebellious, and accepting of everyone. Hopefully country will go back to that over the next decade. Kacey should've been the voice of country for the 2010's and, had she been, we would've seen a new wave of country.

[@delrey874]

She's got a Grammy, but she's still underrated.

[@rickyricardo113]

*six Grammies

[@mrnarias3554]

@@rickyricardo113 really??? 6??? Wow amazing!!

[@fdpcompdm]

Why do people like you care so much about being underrated!?? Seriously who cares!? Thank God she is, so sick of overrated "artists" like beyonce and taylor swift. The amount of saturation some artists receive on media and radio it's truly disgusting

[@mrnarias3554]

[@concinnus]

Grammies aren't a rating of artistry, though. They only codify popularity, which has no correlation with artistry. Randomly, this gal is actually good, though.

[@Flore-162]

Love the fact that she's always a bit shy on TV shows, yet she's so talented and charismatic. God, she's such a Leo.

[@Freesingskills19]

she has it all. beauty, talent, personality, humor...

[@shaunlunney7551]

Mushrooms are a great experience as long as done responsibly and in a group of good people. Changes your perspective on things and lets you think in non patterned ways. Helping with PTSD and Depression as well! Glad Kacey came and out and said it helped her create. Exploration and Moderation is the key to life!

Take them all the time in Joshua Tree. Helped me so much with depression and PTSD

Kacey’s music gets me through my work days 🥲

[@Tyler.21]

She's such an incredible person! Can't wait to experience this new album and movie!!!

[@rgwak]

I remember being at a house party on the lake, and we all took mushrooms. For 4 hours we sat there listening to music and joking around, when someone realized the same CD was on repeat the whole time. And then we debated if that were true for another 40 minutes before someone had the courage to check. Oops! 😛

[@flakeyjay]

Such a lovely lady and so down to earth.. Wish her gramps all the best and her album!

[@tiffanymendoza9329]

The new album Star Crossed is simply delicious to my ears!!! I'm here for it!!

[@selfdiscardedkingofruin7291]

I absolutely love her and her music. And I'm a Metalhead.

[@joeytocd]

Same here! Kacey's music checks every box for me. 🤘🏻

[@emnew7463]

I love all music, metal included. It’s so easy to love her & respect her talent. She’s amazing

Been a fan of hers from the very beginning. Bravo Kacey!

oh man I REALLY wanted her to perform something from the album. it's amazing. october can't come any sooner.

[@laislchaves]

She is fantastic! Absolutely love her.

[@taylorharrison2649]

It was actually her live performance of 'Late To the Party' on The Colbert Report that I was finally hooked as a fan. I love that she keeps making more appearances on Colbert over the years 💖

[@AyaDori]

love her and the new album! such a refreshing artist these days

[@LauraLemleyLucas]

I liked her earlier stuff much better. It just felt old school country. But she is amazingly talented no matter what she is doing.

[@MaterialWhirl]

I miss her earlier work, too. Her first album is always my favorite.

[@vincentbrk]

I love how beautifully she speaks. Very calming to the ears. Wonderful voice.

[@jimkammerer8028]

BEAUTIFUL PERSON AND AWESOME VOICE.

[@cathieludemann5879]

I was first introduced to Kacey when she was the opening act at a Kenny Chesney concert. She's come a long way since then. Great to see you, Kacey!

[@maxhydekyle2425]

I remember seeing her play at Mud Fest in Lubbock like 8 years ago when I was in college. Her and the Josh Abbott Band are good friends. So they sang their song "Oh Tonight" at Mud Fest. I think Kacey actually played during the halftime show at the Tech-UT game too.

[@cathieludemann5879]

For anyone wondering, the concert was during the tour of 2013. Eric Church performed just before Kenny. Great night!

[@daveandamyenglishschool3486]

just discovered her on Glastonbury '22. Brilliant!

[@Steve.Dennis]

Was just talking about Golden Hour yesterday and how much I love “Butterflies” and the songs about her marriage and how happy she is. And now I see no wedding ring and read that she got divorced after a short marriage. Great.

[@melliethemortician]

Yes, the new album talks about that heartbreak and how they basically fell apart. They tried to make it work but couldnt, Golden Hour was an album about how truly happy she was in her marriage and how it was going great but Star Crossed is about them falling apart and the struggle that they just couldnt fix.

[@Junosmom2828]

@SteveDennis yes she acknowledges that in depth during this interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYeQqIlsdttjjLM She definitely went through high highs and low lows We can appreciate both albums!

[@davidbryant4210]

[@JohnnyBitcoin]

How her ex let this woman go is beyond me!!!

[@codycregger229]

She’s different man, special. But idk something feels a little pushed or unnatural about some her new stuff. Might be completely wrong maybe just a little to popish for me. I liked her in that kinda outlaw category with Brandi Carlie, Bonnie raitt etc.
