Kacey Musgraves (CMA 2013 Song) OC: …is unreal. :45
“It’s really crazy to think that I’m competing against myself in the category for Song of the Year. How lucky can you get? I mean, some people don’t even get have the chance to have one song heard or cut, let alone two. It’s like a huge perspective for me. I mean, just as a songwriter I feel like I’m able to achieve the best of both worlds with having a song that I wrote and got to sing and perform on the radio, and then another artist, a girl that I grew up with 10 miles down the road. So, it’s really unreal to have that up there and the songs – both of them – were written with some of my best friends in town. To be able to share that and to be recognized for the words that came out of my brain, it’s just like, is unreal.”
