Kacey Musgraves (Katy Perry songs) OC: …be incredible. :37
“I don’t know if I can say that there’s one song in particular that I’m excited to sing. I mean, whether it’s ‘Last Friday Night’ or ‘Roar’ or even ‘I Kissed a Girl’ or, I mean, I love ‘Teenage Dream.’ I think it’s probably one of the best pop songs I’ve ever heard. It gives me this almost melancholy feeling. I don’t think it’s supposed to, but it does, and it’s so good. I’m so excited to be able to just do what I do on it, and maybe throw a little bit of country on it, and just to hear Katy sing any of my songs, but I know in particular she loves ‘Merry Go Round.’ It’s going to be incredible.”
