Kacey Musgraves Is Queen Of The Grammys With Her 'Really Crazy' Album Of The Year Win

It's Kacey Musgraves's golden hour at the Grammys.


Immediately after earning three awards earlier in the evening on Sunday (February 10), the nation superstar took house the night's top honor: Album of the Year. Her radiant Golden Hour bested some formidable competition that included Drake's massive Scorpion, Cardi B's breakout Invasion of Privacy, and the Kendrick Lamar-curated Black Panther: The Album.


Musgraves seemed more shocked than anyone as she took the stage, admitting, "It was unthinkable to even be in a category with such gigantic albums. Really perfect works of art. It's really crazy, however I'm very thankful."


She continued, "And I know that winning this doesn't make my album better than anyone else's in that category. They're all so good and life is pretty tumultuous now for all of us. ... And I feel that, because of that, art is really thriving and it's been really pretty to be able to see that. Thank you for championing mine."


Earlier in the evening, Musgraves gave a beautifully simple efficiency of her Golden Hour ballad "Rainbow," then joined Katy Perry in a tribute to Dolly Parton alongside the legend herself. She also took house the awards for Best Nation Album, Best Nation Solo Efficiency for "Butterflies," and Best Nation Song for "Space Cowboy." It was a show largely dominated by girls, and Musgraves was queen of it all.
