Kacey Musgraves has just been announced as a presenter for this year’s Oscars. Fresh from winning four GRAMMY Awards, including Album of the Year for Golden Hour, she’ll join previously announced presenters Gary Oldman, Allison Janney, Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell, Chris Evans, Brie Larson, Daniel Craig, Tina Fey, Whoopi Goldberg, Jennifer Lopez, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Charlize Theron, Angela Bassett, Chadwick Boseman, Emilia Clarke, Samuel L. Jackson, Melissa McCarthy, Jason Momoa and Sarah Paulson, among others.

The 91st Academy Awards will be handed out live from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday (February 24th) at 8pm ET/5pm PT on ABC. The Oscars will also be televised live in more than 225 countries and territories worldwide.

Kacey, who has hit the airwaves with her new single, “Rainbow,” from her Grammy-winning album, takes her Oh, What a World Tour to Portland, Oregon on Monday (February 18th) and Seattle on Tuesday (February 19th).

It has been a monumental year for critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves, who took home four GRAMMY Awards including Album of The Year and Best Country Album for her #1 third studio album Golden Hour, Best Country Solo Performance for “Butterflies,” and Best Country Song for “Space Cowboy.” People predicted that “Kacey Musgraves just might be the GRAMMY Awards’ golden girl this year,” and Kacey has now made history as the first female solo artist to win Best Country Album twice. These wins bring Kacey’s career total up to six.

In tandem with her breathtaking performance of new single “Rainbow” on the 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards, Kacey has shared the song’s official video. The cinematic visual is a heartfelt message of hope for anyone facing adversity, echoing the song’s lyrics that “it’ll all be alright.” Upon Golden Hour’s release, GQ declared the track “arguably the best song she’s ever recorded,” describing it as “an emotional wallop that’ll knock you sideways if you’re not prepared,” and Noisey pronounced it “a stunner, which makes majesty out of familiar balladry.” The single has been serviced simultaneously to AC, Hot AC, Triple A and Country radio. Listen to and watch “Rainbow” here: http://strm.to/Rainbow.

Golden Hour has received overwhelming praise and support since its release in March 2018, and Variety notes, “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 made her debut on Saturday Night Live with “High Horse” and “Slow Burn,” and made additional high-profile TV appearances surrounding Golden Hour’s release, including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, TODAY, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and Jimmy Kimmel Live! Golden Hour, which earned Kacey her third #1 debut on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, was named Apple Music’s Global Album of the Year, and has been celebrated as one of the best albums of 2018 by outlets across the board including NPR, The Associated Press, Time, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Pitchfork, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, Complex, Consequence of Sound, USA Today, Noisey, Stereogum, People, and Vulture, among others. The album continues to break boundaries, historically winning Album of the Year at the CMA Awards, with Kacey becoming the first female to win the category in 4 years and only the sixth female to do so in the show’s 52-year history. This April, Kacey will become the first-ever female country artist to play Coachella.

Kacey is currently on the North American leg of her Oh, What a World: Tour, recently adding 17 new shows in response to overwhelming demand see full list of dates at  http://www.kaceymusgraves.com/tour.

Kacey Musgraves has released “Rainbow,” which she performed on Sunday night’s GRAMMY Awards.  Kacey co-wrote the melodic tune with Shane McAnally and Natalie Hemby and appears on her acclaimed album, Golden Hour.

“The song ‘Rainbow’ was actually written a handful of years ago as sort of a little bit of a memo to myself. I think we can all get stuck in a mindset that things are never gonna improve or you can easily focus on kind of the bad parts of whatever you’re going through and not really realize that if you pulled your head above the water you’d see that the sun is actually shining and that everything’s actually okay,” she says. “I think one of the reasons that people may relate to the song a lot is because, though it was written to myself, I think that it can take the shape of like whatever someone’s going through – whether it’s coming out and not having the support or just any kind of a situation that they don’t feel like they may make it through.”

She also dropped the video for the song tonight. She premiered a clip of the video during E!’s Red Carpet special prior to the GRAMMY Awards.

Kacey won four GRAMMY Awards, including Best Album and Best Country Album (Golden Hour), Best Country Song for “Space Cowboy” with co-writers Luke Laird and Shane McAnally and Best Country Solo Performance for “Butterflies.”

Kacey Musgraves is having a “golden” night at this year’s GRAMMY Awards. In addition to Best Country Song (“Space Cowboy”) and Best Country Solo Performance (“Butterflies”), Kacey also picked up the award for Best Country Song for Golden Hour.

“I never dreamed that this record would be met with such love, such warmth,” she said, accepting with co-producers Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk. “I love country music with everything that I am and I’ve very proud to get to share my version of that with the world.”

Kacey Musgraves has picked up TWO early GRAMMY Awards already. She won Best Country Song for “Space Cowboy” (co-writers Luke Laird and Shane McAnally) and Best Country Solo Performance for “Butterflies” – both of which are on her GRAMMY-nominated album, Golden Hour.

Kacey will perform twice during tonight’s show, including during a tribute for the MusiCares Person of the Year, Dolly Parton.

Kacey has previously won Best Country Song for “Merry Go ‘Round” and Best Country Album for Same Trailer Different Park.

Kacey Musgraves goes into Sunday night’s GRAMMY Awards with four nominations, including overall Album of the Year and Best Country Album for Golden Hour. Her song “Butterflies” picks up a nomination for Best Country Solo Performance, while “Space Cowboy” earns a nod for Best Country Song.

Kacey is proud her album received nominations because she says it means “everything” to her. “It’s a very personal album. I’d say probably more personal than all of my other ones at this point,” she says. “So, to be nominated this year for this many awards. I mean, any award, it’s really special to me, especially when you take a step back and look at the people I’m nominated alongside; lots of records that have sold a lot more than mine. If you’re looking at radio play, people that have been on the charts for a long time and have gotten a lot of air time. It just makes me feel like to be in a category with people and works of art like that, it makes me feel like all of our hard work is paying off and that these days people just want to connect to songs that they relate to and that they think is good, and it really doesn’t matter what genre it comes from or where they might hear it, if it connects, it connects.”

Kacey will perform a couple of times on Sunday night’s awards show, including during a tribute to the MusiCares Person of the Year, Dolly Parton, alongside Katy Perry, Little Big Town and Maren Morris. She’s really looking forward to watching and participating in the show.

“TV performances are a whole nother ballgame. They can be nerve-wracking, but they can also be very fun, and ultimately, I just try to find my center within all of that, find my calm. I’m getting to perform songs that I really, truly love and feel comfortable singing. So, I feel like I don’t really have anything to feel nervous about. Mostly I’m just excited, and of course there’s the glam and the wardrobe and the fact that my husband [Ruston Kelly] will get to be there sitting with me and hanging out with me. So, I’m just really going to try to find the fun of it all and not get too worried about the outcome and just ultimately just be myself and have a good time.”

In addition to attending the GRAMMY Awards, Kacey is headlining her own Oh, What a World Tour, which heads to Phoenix February 13th, followed by a two-night stand in Los Angeles February 14th and 15th.

Kacey Musgraves and Little Big Town will pay tribute to the legendary Dolly Parton, who is this year’s MusiCares Person of the Year. They’ll perform some of her biggest hits along with Maren Morris and Katy Perry during Sunday night’s GRAMMY Awards. The Country Music Hall of Famer will also sing new music from her Netflix film, Dumplin’. This is Dolly’s first GRAMMY performance since 2001.

The 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards will be broadcast live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 10th at 8pm ET/5pm PT on CBS.

Due to overwhelming demand, multiple GRAMMY award-winning singer/songwriter Kacey Musgraves has added 17 new North American shows to her sold-out Oh, What a World: Tour. Following her previously announced tour dates, Kacey will hit the summer festival circuit, becoming the first-ever female country artist to play Coachella, and will then launch the second North American leg of her tour on August 24th at Vina Robles Amphitheatre in Paso Robles, CA. These new dates, produced by Live Nation, will include returns to major cities such as Phoenix, Philadelphia, Boston, and Toronto, and will make stops in Santa Fe, Charlotte, and New Orleans, among others (see below for full list of tour dates). Artist pre-sale for these new tour dates begins today at 12pm ET, with tickets going on sale to the general public beginning February 8th at 10am local time at http://www.kaceymusgraves.com/tour.

Over the past year, Kacey has toured extensively in support of Golden Hour to massive critical reception, with NPR aptly summarizing, “Kacey Musgraves is magnetic – there are no two ways about it.” One month into the sold-out North American leg of her Oh, What a World: Tour, Kacey has dazzled press and fans alike. Billboard declared, “leaving the packed theatre would have anyone convinced: Musgraves isn’t just breaking country’s rules, but re-writing them,” Rolling Stone observed, “with each successive record, culminating in the velvety and confident Golden Hour, Musgraves has expanded both her sonics and her fan base,” and Variety enthused, “considering her gradual but inexorable rise over the past five years; considering the accessibility, intelligence, humor, positivity and wide appeal of her songs; considering the praise heaped upon her by critics (not to mention her two GRAMMY wins and the four nominations for her latest album, “Golden Hour“); and considering, most of all, the rapturous response she receives from her fans, it’s hard to imagine that within the next couple of years Kacey Musgraves won’t be one of the biggest stars in music.”

On February 10th, Kacey will perform at the 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards in celebration of her four nominations for Album of the Year and Best Country Album, Best Country Solo Performance for “Butterflies,” and Best Country Song for “Space Cowboy.”

Golden Hour has been named Apple Music’s Global Album of the Year, and has been hailed as of the best albums of 2018 by everyone from NPR, Time, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Pitchfork, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, Complex, Consequence of Sound, USA Today, Noisey, People, and Vulture, among others. Stereogum proclaims, “again and again, the album makes the incredible feel as natural as breathing,” and The Associated Press assures, “Golden Hour will put a smile on your face, and live inside of your heart.”
