She won the Grammy for best album of the year beating out so many chart toppers. Well deserved and about time She has been underrated and ignored way too long by the CMA, AMA and Nashville. I hardly ever hear any of her songs on the country radio and that's a shame

[@cowsrock0810]

Shes NEVER on the radio. It's an absolute travesty.

[@geetraldinha]

Any reason why they ignored her?

[@alyssarrie]

@@geetraldinha kaceys sadly been basically blacklisted from country radio ever since she released "follow your arrow" years ago, the song didn't sit well with the genres mostly conservative audience. it was never official, but yeah, no station ever really gave her a chance after that. after years of no support from country radio, she still stayed true to her morals, herself, and her artistic integrity, and continued standing up for LGBTQ+ rights in a genre that basically crucified her for it. such a shame they never really supported her because shes an absolute angel and so so talented! golden hour completely changed my life last year and im so happy she won aoty!

[@geetraldinha]

@@alyssarrie How about now? Have those radios played her Golden Hour album? Thanks for the info. Tbh, I just found her through a tweet from a music account before Grammy. So I started to listen to her album and I like it. I don't think I ever listen her songs on the radios in my country too.

[@KaMafo28]

It's magic! I can't even imagine actually hearing it in person... I think I would cry from how pure her voice is.

[@mattcatsahoo9608]

Yes, Some people use electronics to make their voice sound like that, and sound terrible when their live, But she sounds AMAZING when live.

[@scottk1525]

Because she's lip syncing. You can tell because even when she drops the mic to her waist, you can hear the inhales as if it's right at her mouth, like at 1:01

Such a beautiful song and soul. This is my favorite song off of the album. The first time listening through the song, I bawled. I was driving back from Palm Springs and drove past a sign that said "Welcome to Rainbow", which I had no idea was a real place. I played it after three more times after that. You are my favorite artist and I hope you win a Grammy with this album.

I didn’t completely understand the lyrics when the album came out, but when I saw her live I just started bawling my eyes out. I finally understood it. And Kacey looked at me while she sang the song, as if to tell ME that it’ll all be alright. I’ll never forget it. Love you Kacey 💖🦋💖🦋

kingcharlesXIII ya maybe she did after it was already been written and put out. It’s a good pr move. Feels good to hear for people, makes her more fans and makes it look like she stands up for a minority group.. all around win for her to dedicate it to the gays. Especially during LGBT month which is when she did it. But was she thinking about gays when writing it? Doubt it.
