Born on 21 August, 1988, young country star Kacy Musgraves is making her statement in the world and it’s nothing short of fantastic. She has been writing and singing songs from the tender age of 8 and she knows about the required devotion to make it in the music industry. Kacy started selling demos when she was 18 while signed to an independent record label called Triple Pop. Now Rolling Stone magazine has branded her as one of the “loudest symbols of young country musicians” and this is based on her ability to embrace change. 

Her first headlining tour was with Lady Antebellum in 2012 called “Owning the Night” and in the same year she recorded her solo debut at Mercury Records entitled “Merry Go Round”. One of the highlights in her blossoming career was the tour she recently finished with one of her heroes, Willie Nelson. Willie was so impressed with their collaboration that they decided to record a song together. It’s an old number Willie wrote in the 1960’s called “You sure this is where you want to be” and Kacy is very excited about the project. She said that it’s a song that still rings true after all these years and it never gets boring. 

In March last year Kacy released her solo album “Same Trailer Different Park” featuring the above mentioned single. Two more singles off the album started appearing on the charts, “Blowing Smoke” and “Follow your Arrow”. The latter song reached Rolling Stone Magazine’s Greatest Country Songs of All Time, placing at number 39. Alison Krauss, John Prine and Lee Ann Womack are some of the people who have had a great influence on her road into the music world and it doesn’t look like anything is going to stop this train anytime soon. [amzn_product_inline asin=’B00B6QXN6U’]

Now Kacy will be building more bridges by joining Katy Perry on her Prismatic tour this year. It has already kicked off in late June and they plan on hitting 46 cities, including some Canadian venues. Katy asked her fans to post videos on why their cities are great and from there she chose some regular venues and some new ones based on the videos of her fans. The tour will also feature other stars like Capital Cities and Tegan & Sara.

Katy is going to sing songs from her latest album, Prism, and she will be doing some old favorites. What should be interesting is the combination of the genres. Katy is known for her glamour and wildly entertaining shows while Kacy has a knack for writing lyrics that break the conventional boundaries. Katy is pure pop and Kacy is traditional country, so the fans are sure to be entertained. 

When Kacy was confronted about her outspoken lyrics by the media and critics, she simply replied that her lyrics aren’t controversial for her. It’s not her intention or passion to write something just for the sake of pushing buttons. She writes about things she finds relevant and she does it with an honest nature without a hidden agenda. These are the traits of musical legends and Kacy is on her way to becoming one.
