Kacey Musgraves has released “Rainbow,” which she performed on Sunday night’s GRAMMY Awards. Kacey co-wrote the melodic tune with Shane McAnally and Natalie Hemby and appears on her acclaimed album, Golden Hour.
“The song ‘Rainbow’ was actually written a handful of years ago as sort of a little bit of a memo to myself. I think we can all get stuck in a mindset that things are never gonna improve or you can easily focus on kind of the bad parts of whatever you’re going through and not really realize that if you pulled your head above the water you’d see that the sun is actually shining and that everything’s actually okay,” she says. “I think one of the reasons that people may relate to the song a lot is because, though it was written to myself, I think that it can take the shape of like whatever someone’s going through – whether it’s coming out and not having the support or just any kind of a situation that they don’t feel like they may make it through.”
She also dropped the video for the song tonight. She premiered a clip of the video during E!’s Red Carpet special prior to the GRAMMY Awards.
Kacey won four GRAMMY Awards, including Best Album and Best Country Album (Golden Hour), Best Country Song for “Space Cowboy” with co-writers Luke Laird and Shane McAnally and Best Country Solo Performance for “Butterflies.”
