Due to popular demand, the show was opened up to 360 and additional tickets have been released. The tour, which kicked off in Amsterdam last October, has taken Kacey around the globe, playing the biggest venues of her career in North America, the U.K., Europe, Japan, China, New Zealand, and Australia.

Golden Hour, Kacey’s #1 third studio album, was released in March 2018 to overwhelming critical acclaim. Pitchfork called the album Kacey’s “most accessible record and her most ambitious, a magnetic comfortable culmination of her pop and country instincts,” Vogue declared, “her mesmerizing blend of emotional directness and swirling pop melodies, old-school musicianship and new-school production, is a cross-genre triumph that feels so right for now,” and The Associated Press proclaimed, “’Golden Hour’ will put a smile on your face, and live inside your heart.” Golden Hour was named Apple Music’s Album of the Year, and was recognized as one of the best albums of 2018 by outlets across all genres, including NPR, Time, The Associated Press, GQ, Rolling Stone, Variety, Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, Pitchfork, Complex, Stereogum, and American Songwriter, among many others. The album earned Kacey four GRAMMY Awards for Album of The Year and Best Country Album, Best Country Solo Performance for “Butterflies,” and Best Country Song for “Space Cowboy,” and Kacey became the third artist ever to take home Album of the Year at the GRAMMY Awards, Country Music Association Awards, and Academy of Country Music Awards. Following Golden Hour’s massive success, Kacey was honored at both Billboard’s Women in Music event and Variety’s Power of Women event, and she celebrated the opening of her exhibit, All of the Colors, at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

Throughout 2018 and 2019, Kacey has toured Golden Hour extensively, both as a headliner in her own right and supporting Little Big Town and Harry Styles. She became the first-ever female country artist to play Coachella, performed at Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 in South Africa, and she continued to play major festivals including Austin City Limits, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Governors Ball, and Newport Folk Festival, among others. Her electric live shows have garnered rave reviews, with NPR observing, “Kacey Musgraves is magnetic – there are no two ways about it. It’s not just that she can sing like a bird and write like a bard. It’s the calm charisma that a person who knows who she is and wishes the same for others can’t help but exude,” and Variety predicting, “it’s hard to imagine that within the next couple of years Kacey Musgraves won’t be one of the biggest stars in music.”

Kacey Musgraves had a chance for reflection, emotion and gratitude when her exhibit, All the Colors, opened at Nashville’s Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The display features detention slips from school, song lyrics, baby photos, senior yearbook, outfits, light up boots and so much more of her storied life and career.

For the Golden, Texas native, it was emotional going through the items featured in the exhibit.

“I’m very proud of my story and where I am right now,” says Kacey. “Something that I try really hard to work at is being present in the moment, and there’s so many beautiful things happening all the time, and I don’t think that a human really knows how to do that, how to be good at that. So, I didn’t think it would make me super-emotional – iI think it takes a lot for me to do that – but to see everything laid out in a physical sense, a timeline, it really healthy and beautiful thing for me because there’s so much that you forget and you just, I’m somebody who gets really excited about what’s in front of me and then I check it off and I move on to the next thing. It’s fun for me to do that, but there’s a lot that gets lost in the blur of all of the busyness, and but there’s a lot to be celebrated and a lot to be remembered. So, it’s actually really beautiful and really gratifying, and I’m really grateful for the opportunity to share those things.”

The exhibit runs through June 7th, 2020, and in support of the exhibition, she will participate in a conversation at the CMHOF Saturday (July 6th).
