MY YEEHAW QUEEN!! golden hour album of the year. bye

[@joshuabradley4487]

Oh shit you called it

[@fembertambunan2325]

She did it

[@daviddennie294]

I really think that beneath that "aw shucks" cowgirl persona (well, plus a smidgen of profanity), she's some kind of genius.

[@carolinerussell9556]

Damn straight. If you dig into her pre-Merry Go Round days, there was a resolution passed in the Texas house when she was 18 detailing her accomplishments as a yodeler and songwriter.

[@annode]

Great voice yes, likes to trip yes, genius writes her own music no.

[@daveshephard1937]

@@annode Kacey has indeed written many of her own songs, lyrics and music from way back when she was little, infact it was her first homework from her guitar teacher to go home and write a song every time, regardless of how good or bad it was great upbringing to her writing skills i would say

[@annode]

@@daveshephard1937 OK, we can believe in fairies if we want to. But why are the male writing collaborators winning the writing awards for her songs?

[@Shannonsense]

I do not like country, but I loveee Kacey. Modern, but has a little twang and I feel I relate to. I grew up in the country too. Love her style and her "rebellion" beliefs. She is just different with a beautiful voice.

[@carmengracepuentes7953]

yes I lover. since she came out :) I love country, older and mostly 90s country and 2000s actually good pop country

[@bowiehs]

she better win album of the year.

[@mohamadfirdausbinmat2577]

I think the competition in the category would be Kacey vs Brandi. Brandi's By the Way I Love You is such a great album as well. I'd listened to the other albums in the category but nuhh they're good and okay but not really impactful to me. I hope she wins 😭 Golden Hour is just the soundtrack of my life this year 🙌🙌🙌

[@mr.non-existent8137]

If you're talking about the scammys she probably won't cause they never make the deserving ones win. Like last year, it should've been Damn. or Melodrama but they chose 24k Magic. Kacey is one of like the only 2 artists that actually deserved the AOTY nomination. EDIT: I WAS WRONG AND I AM HAPPY ABOUT IT. CONGRATS KACEY👏

[@dorkiecookie]

Mr. Non-existent how about Janelle Monae? her album was great

[@AnthonyCayne]

I think janelle should win, but I still really want Kacey to.

I'll never leave my "anti-country phase" but I make an exception for her. She's everything a singer songwriter should be

[@jeffolefson9415]

I have had the opportunity to see Kacey Perform about 5 times now and she is always spot on perfect. Her voice is amazing and she really could sing any genre of music and be successful. Her last Album is not my favorite which is not to say it is not very good I just love her first two.

[@daveshephard1937]

Absolute adorable genius. What a wonderful human being and greatest ever talent.

[@annode]

Curious, why do you feel she is a genius?

[@daveshephard1937]

@@annode most obvious answer to that is, her unique song writing talent apart from anything else

[@annode]

@@daveshephard1937 OK, I see your logic. I love her look and the sonically fundamental tonality of her voice. But I wonder besides that, what she contributes to her songs. I know she writes her words. I know she has a 'camp' of songwriters and players. I know on the 'Golden Hour' album she plays acoustic guitar only in 3 tracks. It's common for female artists to have a writing camp who do all the music writing...but I also feel Kacey may also create at least some of the song 's basic chords along with the lyrics to give to the writing camp. I'm looking for the truth, but so far is elusive. I noticed when she was speaking to Elton John (see YT vid) she was mostly interested in lyrics writer Bernie Taupin. This was a strong clue. What do you say? Are you sure she writes her own music? If so how much? And if not, can she still be a genius?

[@daveshephard1937]

@@annode she does obviously use co writers, like many artists do, but can assure you she writes many herself, and always has done in the 20 years i have known her. Add to that, she is a very accomplished guitarist sings with the voice of an Angel, as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, and has stage presence that is very endearing. I might be biased but i say she has it all certainly enough to be a genius.

[@nomdeplume2213]

They're words. Cmon, grow up. Theyre just sounds. Saying fuck doesn't kill anyone. Blows my mind ppl are so uptight about cussing. Its been statistically proven that the more intelligent and talented a person is the more likely they are to cuss. Because theyre smart enough to understand theyre just words. Do you know that "puss: means kisses in Swedish? Might be slang for vagina here but it means something totally different in another language. People, give words meaning. Fuck means something entirely different in Swahili, so should they not say it because what you assume it means in your own language? Its so immature to me. its like that 5 yr old in grade school that tattles every time someone says butt or hell 😅 for fucks sake, grow up...
