KACEY MUSGRAVES IS SUGAR AND SPICE AND ALL THAT IS DISNEY NICE.
Kacey Musgraves covered “A Spoonful of Sugar” for the forthcoming We Love Disney collection, available October 30th. “It’s kind of this really fun western swing, like very Disney,” she tells SPIN magazine. “There’s bird whistling and it’s so fun. It was one of the funnest things. I do love getting outside of my world and stepping into a challenge like that, especially if it is like a whimsical, larger-than-life kind of thing.”
“They’re the type of songs that are just engrained in you since you were a kid and you can’t help but associate them with nothing but fun,” adds Kacey. “There’s something very classic about those songs. They weren’t written to appease today’s generation or the next one. They’re just the songs.”
Gwen Stefani, Ariana Grande and Jason Derulo, among others, are also featured on the soundtrack due out later this month.
Kacey is currently on the airwaves with “Dime Store Cowgirl” and on the road with her country and Western Rhinestone Revue.
In other notes, Kacey is featured in the new issue of Country Living magazine listing some of her favorite things, including her three-legged dog, Pearl, her favorite Thanksgiving side dish (sweet potato casserole) and her favorite ride.

KACEY MUSGRAVES PARTNERS WITH LUCCHESE BOOTS.
EL PASO—Lucchese, the legendary Western brand renowned for its handmade bootmaking process, today announced a partnership with Texas-native, Grammy-winning country artist, Kacey Musgraves.Together, they collaborated to introduce “Kacey for Lucchese,” a dynamic new collection of boots inspired by Kacey’s life and experiences over the past couple of years both musically and personally.
“I’ve had so much fun designing my boot line for Lucchese. As a native Texan (and a boot wearer!) this brand means something special to me and this opportunity was a dream come true. Every detail on each boot in this line represents sentiments and pieces of me and my career. I hope y’all will wear them as proudly as I will!” With shared Texas roots and a mutual dedication to artistry, authenticity and craft, collaborating on a new Kacey-inspired boot line was a natural fit.“Working with Kacey is like listening to her music – it’s motivating and fun,” said Doug Kindy, President of Lucchese. “The collection celebrates her adventurous and confident spirit and unites it with the heart and soul of the Lucchese brand.” The line includes a unique range of four different Western designs that capture Kacey’s exciting, youthful essence without straying from Lucchese’s traditional, time-honored craftsmanship. Much like the performer who inspired the boots and the bootmaker who crafted them, the “Kacey for Lucchese” collection makes a lasting statement that stands out.Launching in time for the holidays, the collection features boots expected to retail from approximately $300 to $450. Product will be available at all Lucchese stores (Houston, San Antonio, Santa Fe and Nashville), on Lucchese.com and through additional retail distribution to be announced in the coming weeks.
