She appeared on 'Nashville Star'
Musgraves appeared on the show and placed seventh. She was already a success in her own right before participating, having released three albums.
She's appearing on the Season 47 debut to promote her new album
Musgraves is promoting her newest album Star-Crossed. It's her fifth studio album and explores her divorce.
She performed on SNL before
Musgraves last appeared on the show in 2018. At the time, she was promoting her fourth studio album Golden Hour.
She's newly divorced
Musgraves blames the COVID-19 pandemic for her marital downfall. She married Ruston Kelly in 2017 before divorcing in 2020. Despite gushing over him previously publicly, she says she was "dying on the inside." She told Elle Magazine amid their split: "I come from a family full of long marriages…It was hard to not feel like I was in some ways a failure," Musgraves said. But she added that "there's nothing more shameful than staying somewhere where you don't fit anymore."
Holiday tunes are her thing
In 2016, she released her first festive album A Very Kacey Christmas. The album features eight traditional Christmas songs and four originals with features from Willie Nelson, The Quebe Sisters and Leon Bridges. An Amazon Prime Video special, The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show, followed in 2019.
She's won several big awards
Musgraves is a big deal in not just country music and the awards that she's garnered proves such. She has won six Grammy Awards, including one in the coveted category for Album of the Year in 2018, seven Country Music Association Awards, and three Academy of Country Music Awards to name a few.
