Kacey Musgraves’ new album, Pageant Material, is set for release next Tuesday (June 23rd), and one of the songs featured is “Dime Store Cowgirl,” which Kacey co-wrote with Shane McAnally and Luke Laird. The title originates from a real experience Kacey had as a young pre-teen performer back in Texas, but talks about the many career moments she’s had over the last two years.

“I had this title saved for a while. It’s something that someone said to me a long time ago. I was probably 11 or 12, and this stage mom, this certain stage mom of this girl I used to sing with, well, we would wear these really Western outfits and she would like to wear hers down real low, and I like to cock my hat back, my cowboy hat, kind of retro-like, which I still think is really cute today,” says Kacey. “And I was like doing my own thing, and this stage mom came over and she was like, right before we went on stage, she was like, ‘Don’t wear your hat like that! You’re gonna look like some dime store cowgirl.’ So, there’s a song now.”

Kacey will perform a few tracks from her new album when she hits the stage Thursday night in Aspen, Colorado.
