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.
