Attempting to place singer extraordinaire Kacey Musgraves in a box, category, genre or place a label on her for that matter, is extremely hard to do.
Next to impossible.
Categorically speaking, she shines all over the music map.
Is she country, new age, urban contemporary or rock and roll? It depends upon the song, concert or album. You judge for yourself.
That in part is what makes her so fascinating.
Though she is originally from Texas, and since we are as well, we can really relate to the Country Music side of her hit machine inventory. If you love to hear Country Music with a sense of humor, you’ll love her smash hit, Follow Your Arrow.
Check out the video on YouTube, while it lasts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ8xqyoZXCc
We’re still searching for a handle.
Possibly a Texas Russian Doll.
Russian Dolls are a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside another.
A set consists of a wooden figure, which separates at the middle, top from bottom, to reveal a smaller figure of the same sort inside, which has, in turn, another figure inside of it, and so on.
See what we mean. Just when you think you’ve seen all of her, she surprises you with another version.
Both Kacey and the dolls.
We’ll make an attempt to define her a little.
Kacey Musgraves is a popular American singer and songwriter.
She has won six Grammy Awards (including Album of the Year in 2019), seven Country Music Association Awards, and three Academy of Country Music Awards.
Musgraves self-released three solo albums and one as Texas Two Bits, before appearing on the fifth season of the USA Network‘s singing competition Nashville Star in 2007, where she placed seventh. Musgraves also released a Christmas-themed album, A Very Kacey Christmas, in 2016.
Her fourth studio album Golden Hour (2018) was released to widespread critical acclaim and won all four of its nominated Grammy Award categories, including Album of the Year and Best Country Album.
The album’s first two singles, “Space Cowboy” and “Butterflies“, won the Grammy Award for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance respectively.
Now, before you dance and slap your thighs in blue jeans, watch her performance on Stephen Colbert’s Late Night show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tysawIMg9c
She sings her hit Breadwinner with a very Urban Contemporary feel.
Go to YouTube and look up her artistic videos. Lots of style, creativity and no labels.
The team at pollstar.com appears to agree. They summarize, “Musgraves, who won the all-genre 2019 Album of the Year Grammy for Golden Hour, as well as Best Country Album, isn’t kidding. Old people, little kids, LGBTQ+ fans, girls’ night out groups, country fans, alternative musicos, and college kids swirl together to hear songs from the life of the pride of Golden, Texas – the little girl who grew up to sell out Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, setting the female attendance record.”
Now for some big news.
Musgraves’ fifth studio album, Star-Crossed, was released in September 2021.
Check it out on her website https://www.kaceymusgraves.com/
It is associated with a great cause that you should know about and possibly be a part of.
Chipotle Premieres “A Future Begins” – A Short Film Featuring New Music From Kacey Musgraves

Chipotle is also calling on its community of supporters to join the brand in supporting efforts to influence the 2023 Farm Bill with a goal of helping transition one million acres of farmland to the next generation of farmers
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Nov. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) today unveiled a new film called “A Future Begins” created by Observatory, a sequel to Chipotle’s award-winning 2011 film “Back to the Start” featuring Willie Nelson’s cover of Coldplay’s “The Scientist.” “A Future Begins” premieres new music from GRAMMY AWARD®-winning singer/songwriter Kacey Musgraves who reimagined Coldplay’s “Fix You,” as the score to the film.
“A Future Begins” can be viewed in its entirety here: https://youtu.be/HnwzRmqbWwE.
Coldplay’s 2005 classic “Fix You” reimagined by Kacey Musgraves is available to stream or buy on all digital platforms now: https://Kacey.lnk.to/fixyou.
At a time where Americans are coming together for the holidays, Chipotle has unveiled a new stop motion animation, based on the true story of a Chipotle farmer, that champions a family farm’s remarkable revival. The production begins by depicting a farming family sending their child off to college. While the family battles to keep their farm intact, ultimately putting their land up for sale, the child struggles to discover his calling away at school. After a moment passes where his true duty becomes clear, the child returns to save the family farm by introducing new technology and sustainable growing techniques, which are inspired by current Chipotle suppliers and partners.
The Bigger Picture
The emotionally charged, short film creatively shines a light on the enormous challenges facing the U.S. farming industry today. Over the last five years, U.S. agriculture lost over 40 times more farmers than it gained*, challenging the future of small and midsized farms throughout the country. Chipotle, which sources more local produce than any other national restaurant brand, is committed to Cultivating a Better World by sourcing meat that is raised without sub-therapeutic antibiotics and growth hormones and supporting farms that treat their animals humanely and prioritize environmentally friendly farming practices.
“I truly believe in supporting family run businesses. I come from a family of small business owners myself where I’m from down in Texas,” said Musgraves. “I know that the American farm has faced a huge range of challenges over the last decade that threaten its survival, and the future of farming depends on supporting that next generation of young farmers. To be able to reimagine such a classic song while supporting an amazing cause with Chipotle really means a lot to me.”
In addition to creating “A Future Begins,” Chipotle is supporting farmers with the following initiatives.
Chipotle and the 2023 Farm Bill
The biggest barrier to entry for many aspiring young farmers is access to land. In the last decade alone, the U.S. has lost more than 20 million acres of farmland, a trend that continues at an average rate of 2 million acres per year**. As a response to this development, Chipotle is supporting the National Young Farmers Coalition and its movement to advocate for policy change in the 2023 Farm Bill that would facilitate equitable access to up to one million acres of land for the next generation of farmers.
To join the campaign and impact the 2023 Farm Bill, guests can visit: www.chipotle.com/farmers. Adding your name will help the National Young Farmers Coalition advocate for Congress to invest $2.5 billion toward securing access to up to one million acres for young farmers.
Through the brand’s real change feature, guests can also support the National Young Farmers Coalition by rounding up their order total to the next highest dollar amount on the Chipotle app or Chipotle.com through the end of November.
This program is in addition to Chipotle’s larger commitment of $5 million over the next five years to support the future of farming. Chipotle is helping farmers under the age of 40 who meet its Food with Integrity standards secure long-term contracts. In partnership with the National Young Farmers Coalition, the brand is also allocating money to fund an annual Seed Grant program, which will assist young farmers who are starting or building their farms.
“‘Back to the Start’ was an iconic moment in advertising almost a decade ago, serving as the brand’s first-ever national TV ad,” said Chris Brandt, Chief Marketing Officer at Chipotle. “While Chipotle’s values remain unchanged, the urgency behind our efforts to revitalize farming has only intensified. ‘A Future Begins’ opens the next chapter in our mission to make real change for the future of real food.”
Carhartt Collaboration
To commemorate the premiere of “A Future Begins,” Chipotle teamed up with Carhartt, America’s premium workwear brand, for a pair of exclusive launches. The partnership highlights Chipotle and Carhartt’s shared commitment to the future of farming.
- Limited Edition Pieces
- Chipotle and Carhartt will be dropping a handful of limited edition pieces, including a custom apron, jacket, hat, and a variety of patches highlighting Chipotle’s mission to support the next generation of farmers. The line is scheduled to drop on November 19 at 9am PT/12pm ET on chipotlegoods.com. Profits from sales of these items will be donated to initiatives focused on supporting young farmers and making apparel and food more sustainable.
- Shop the Look
- Using some of its classic pieces, Carhartt has created four shoppable looks inspired by characters featured in “A Future Begins.” Fans can shop the looks now by visiting: www.carhartt.com/chipotle.
