Kacey Musgraves Wins Album Of The Year | 2019 GRAMMYs Acceptance Speech

[@wolfstar675]

I'm definitely impressed she won without radio attention and any kind of hype whatsoever.

[@mafghul]

Golden Hour is probably the most critically acclaimed records of 2018 along with Janelle Monae's Dirty Computer and appeared in virtually every publication's year-end's best list. It's got quite a hype from mainstream music critics. But yeah the radio stations did her (and the rest of female country artists) dirty.

@@anthonyfregala, because she released a song called "Follow Your Arrow" a few years ago. The lyrics go "Make lots of noise, kiss lots of boys, or kiss lots of girls if that's something you're into. When the straight and narrow gets a little too straight roll up a joint, and follow your arrow wherever it points." Country radio is ran by conservatives that do not like that she stands up for LBGTQ rights or talks about cannabis. They basically blacklisted her. Here in the Bible Belt where I live (two hours from Nashville) I very rarely hear her played on the radio. But I keep her on in my car!

There is no one more deserving than her.

What a beautiful woman and Golden Hour has changed my life. Truly.

Having a song called "Rainbow" is her gentle equivalent of a middle finger to traditional country.

[@jakesullivan1459]

Ahhh .. Now it makes sense .. it was a pity award .. once you said LGBTQ+ it clicked …. just like Gaga did. Lady Gaga realized she doesn't have the great voice .. she copped with disco and Gay atmosphere and it worked ... now we all know Gaga doesn't really have a strong singing voice but still yells with her gay Monsters worshipping her. Makes sense. The gateway to Grammys is always through Gay people. Kacey supported gays and was crucified .. and just like that a regular country album is album of the year …. SMH …. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

[@470George]

As a big fan, I’m surprisingly okay with people going “WHO?” on her. Kacey has sadly been blacklisted by Country radio ever since she released her progressive song “Follow Your Arrow” years ago, which of course did not sit well with the genre’s mostly conservative folks. Not officially, but almost no Country radio would ever give her a chance. So I get every single comment saying who is she because she sadly has very little exposure. BUT. If you’re saying who and then following it by having never listened to her, and then saying someone else deserved it more, then you are just hating that she won. Plain and simple. Not even willing to give the album a chance but already committing to think somebody else is robbed is just plain hatred. Give Golden Hour a chance. It didn’t get the highest Metacritic score out of everything nominated for nothing.

[@Asergiobv]

Wow I had no idea she was blacklisted. I have to admit when she was singing I fast forward it but then she was singing with dolly and I rewind it back to listen to her. I finally listen to her album and yes she completely deserved every award. I hope people could be more open minded about other singers and realize that there’s so much good music out there. Just my opinion.

It’s very Country in spirit. Country isn’t necessarily a sound but a weight that it carries. Songs that tell stories, songs that are true, relatable and in a way, rebellious in nature that I would argue to say that they reflect themes of country music that we haven’t seen in many decades. It’s why she is held in such high regard with people like Dolly Parton, Willy Nelson. She is indeed country, regardless is it sounds poppy. Pop itself has changed over the last 50 years.

Once the nominations are in the recording academy members vote on said nominations. Look at Lemonade and 25, both were huge albums critically and commercially. Lemonade was more “artistic” and my personal choice to win, but Adele’s was more commercially successful which gave her a helping hand. For album of the year they look at everything.

@@princessG313 this is not the Billboard Awards. That's the criteria for them. The Grammy is about Artistic merit.

I still haven’t heard a single song from this album yet and sorry for not knowing who she was before tonight. Definitely have to check it out.

[@mingsun4799]

Update: I just checked it out. The butterfly song is infused with traditional Chinese music. Pretty creative. And it’s definitely not traditional country music either.

[@fikrisuryapratama97]

@@mingsun4799 please check Rainbow and Mother 😢😭

[@thuhfahafiz3601]

Check out her previous albums too!!

[@AriannaSimien]

Her other albums are pretty rad too.

[@k23239]

Thank you for being open to new music!

[@robertmcnickle308]

This speech makes me cry every time. This is my favorite album of all time and I am so glad that the Grammy's recognized its excellence and gave her time in the spotlight. This album deserves EVERY award.

[@Gustava10]

I randomly listened to her album on Spotify, and I was surprised how good the songs were so I saved the album on my playlist. Now I found out she won the Grammys and I'm so happy for that! 😄👏🏽

[@wilian.s2054]

So deserved, country song, solo performance , country album, and album of the year, she is amazing, who ? Kacey musgraves !!!

[@Wiley_Coyote]

The funny thing being that the album is BARELY Country, and Kacey Musgraves isn't all that "Red State" friendly, since she's weed smokin, LGBTQ supporting, etc etc. She won this not because of a groundswell of country music loving music conservatism, but DESPITE that, since she's pretty much the opposite of those people.

[@DJ-lq6kt]

Dirty Computer and Golden Hour were the only true worthy nominees of this award,, truly masterpieces

[@ryux7063]

Black panther soundtrack?

[@nourmallysalty]

the black panther soundtrack and H.E.R’s H.E.R exist

[@XxQueenChristinaxX]

The album was good but I didn’t expect it to win. She didn’t either.

[@mike856ms]

And you know how she felt? STFU. Oh BTW, it's called being humble acting.

[@Wiley_Coyote]

@@mike856ms why jump down someone's throat about that? Geez.

[@jj9533]

She looked shocked!! 😆 i honestly thought H.E.R would win but Kacey deserves it too. It is a beautiful album.

[@digantkaushik2389]

Are you kidding me? Her only competition was Janelle Monae. This was a well deserved grammy. Her album is pure gold.

[@johnsemdavid7142]

Wth!? She deserves it though

[@yudisaputra3273]

For you who dont know who this girl is, she won best country album in Grammy 2014. Guess who other nominess are, Blake Shelton and Taylor Swift for Red

[@frederickfranchi6408]

That was a pretty good year for real country music those two albums we're very strong and may have won any of the year!!!😎😃✌

[@tonyniu]

Still listening to Golden Hour, and of course Deeper Well! She never misses!

[@sherimmari9845]

Love you Kacey! Congratulations! You're finally getting the recognition you deserve!

[@klipper2713]

Who???

[@itsyeboiblayt7472]

WHO?!

[@jeffreyfrias2484]

2010.. Taylor Swift 2019.. Kacey Musgraves And it's all about COUNTRY..

[@deniserodas6848]

Jeffrey Frias 2010s started with Country and ended with Country in AOTY.

[@troyarrington5492]

What?

[@Wiley_Coyote]

Or not. Golden Hour is barely Country. It's country styling placed over Pop/Folk. And her beliefs and message are very different from most country music. She's an icon, and this is such a great album, because it's not trapped in a little box marked "country".

[@CountryCowboy008]

Taylor was NEVER a Country. She's pure pop covered in country music wrapper so that she won't be labeled as another generic pop star who can't sing to save her life.

[@MateoGomez-xs6kj]

@@CountryCowboy008 HAHAHAHAH haters gonna hate, you don't know NOTHING about Taylor Swift, get out

[@hoophopop6588]

she definitely deserved this award, im so happy the Grammy's gave the recognition it deserves. its been quite a while since a country album won 'Album Of The Year' ♥

[@mitsu9314]

A friend would play this album in her car everyday and I got addicted to it .I’ve been listening to this album for over a year now I love it

[@user-tm7dq1pj8c]

Golden Hour is EVERYTHING

[@scottreading6544]

This was deserved. It’s an album that will stand the test of time, and I make sure I share it with everyone I know. It deserves to be heard. I’m so happy she won all 4 of her nominations. Absolutely brilliant. You go girl!

[@ledhicks]

I always thought awards are stupid, but it'll be less stupid if it goes to deserving ones. So proud Kacey won and her magnum opus (so far) got recognized.

[@laurmauer119]

Ron Swanson???

[@vincentbrk]

One of the most well deserved award in history of academy. She really killed it, every song makes me feel amazing and I could never pick a favorite. What a work of art.

[@sailorearthvwcthewhitepear6188]

You know the album is good when the artist doesn’t have to defend him or herself. Kacey can hold her head up high. This album is flawless. Diamonds don’t need a spotlight to be beautiful.

[@r0mann_z0lanskii47]

i just listened barely to her music and omg she deserved this. her voice and songs are beautiful

[@deniserodas6848]

Good for her winning AOTY, she had the best album out of the 8 nominees. Haven’t been this excited for an album winning in this category since Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories.

[@rosavictory7010]

Better than Black Panther? Hell No!

[@bastianl9163]

YESSS!!! Grammys got it RIGHT!!!!!!

[@annabel7896]

Hoping Janelle Monáe was going to win but congrats to her ;)

[@SecondTheScene]

She had to win, the album is epic

[@StreetDisciple86]

One if the best speeches I've ever heard and the most deserving artist at the time and they cut her short! If you haven't heard the album, it's a must have and sounds incredible on vinyl with an acoustic setting!

[@MajerliActually]

I was very surprised she won album of the year this particular year. I had never heard of her. But after listening to golden hour I was floored. That album is an absolute masterpiece. She was so deserving of it all.

[@KJC0913]

I saw a lot of people hating on this when they hadn't heard of her because she isn't in their usual genre and didn't listen to the album at all. I am definitely not usually a country fan but this album speaks to my soul. Every single song touched me and listening to Golden Hour is seriously a form of therapy. This couldn't be more deserved. Kacey is what country music needs in the 21st century.

[@mariembentena5039]

Please Grammys keep doing this!!!highlighting GOOD MUSIC...Love u Kacey!

[@kayschneids]

Why did y'all cut off all artists except Cardi B? The people wanna know.

[@warofmankind]

Cardi b didn't write ONE SONG

[@jeanbeme3539]

Why did they cut off Drake? The people wanna know.

[@theresewilliams7232]

They only brought her for clout.

[@sonicroll3000]

They cut her off too

Cardi B will sue for discrimination

[@dominiclugo]

she really did deserve that grammy. i found her after golden hour came out, and i’ve been obsessed with her ever since.

[@chasegran1]

I just watched this 3 times. It's just so beautiful to see how truly humble she is, she is genuinely surprised!!

[@lilacwinter8774]

I went and heard her album and OMG SHE DESERVES IT

[@johnyamawaki2424]

I don't watch very often the grammys and I certainly didn't knew her when she won the biggest award of the night so after what 6 or 7 months later I'm so obsessed with "golder hor" and it's so life changing, so different, so beautiful so many things in a single album that I'm so happy she got it, bc she truly deserved it.

[@andresmendoza8569]

It isn't a surprise, she's very talent and her album is a Masterpiece

[@thegreatsongtraveler]

She’s truly one of a kind. I’m late to the realization of Kacey Musgraves’ music but I’m really digging it. The subject matter she chooses to sing about is so refreshing and accepting and chill compared the the typical Texas tropes.

[@RafidW9]

this is so weird because ever since I heard this album in the beginning of the year I wanted this album to win album of the year and I never imagined it will do so. very very proud of Kacey. much deserving.

[@EddValdez]

She sounded so humble. Incredible album. I think she deserved it

[@groovy366]

some people are so disrespectful and hateful just because drake, post, and all the other big artists didn’t win. well too bad, golden hour is truly a work of art, and it absolutely deserved the win. so back off.

[@maxpowers6318]

What's Golden Hour?

[@itsyeboiblayt7472]

Here because I recently discovered her music & omg she did that. So honest & well deserved.

Never heard of her before the Grammys (I'm from France) but now I love her! She sings like an angel and i'm already obsessed with Butterflies❤️

[@whit350z2]

The only album I actually bought a physical copy of because I loved it that much so happy for her....and for the haters saying she knew she didn’t deserve it ...NO it’s called being humble ...y’all should try it

[@CaterinaG333]

Always knew of her but I would have never consider myself a big fan until I HEARD THIS ALBUM. Watched the Grammys, saw that she won, was surprised and decided to give the album a listen. It is THAT GOOD folks. I’m hooked. Have it on replay during my walks. Such a great message in every song. My favorite “High Horse”. We all do have the one person haha. Listen to her fans, give the album an ear. I’m glad so did.

[@nahcmo]

I'm a bit embarrassed to not even have heard of Kacey Musgraves before the Grammys this year... Her performance of Rainbow was like, wow. But it wasn't until I watched her set at Coachella this year that I started listening to Golden Hour. I don't listen to country music but this album is so, so good and I can see why it won over such big names for AOTY.

[@es7168]

Needed to rewatch to remind myself sometimes they pick the right winner

[@mbv22311]

i heard she won back in 2019 and didnt know about her and decided to listen, i heard it over a bus ride while studying abroad and since then it rlly changed me and its one of my faves

[@tawhalerobertson1015]

Yes, I also noticed when Alicia gave her the award, there was such warmth and joy in her eyes for Casey, it's nice that there are women who are not jealous (it means that Alicia is doing well in her family and in her art). And the award is truly deserved this singer has a gentle voice, gentle soul and undeniable talent. I love her songs and her team. Be happy girl!
