Kacey Musgraves has been everywhere since winning Album of the Year for Golden Hour at the 2019 Grammy Awards  and now she will be at the Country Music Hall of Fame in a special exhibit.

Kacey will be the subject of an exhibit opening July 3. The Country music Hall of Fame said of Musgraves, "She has created a sound that is rooted in traditional style country music, but also draws on new influences. Her love of witty wordplay and her willingness to tackle what some may see as taboo subject matter have endeared her to like-minded artists such as John Prine and Loretta Lynn. This exhibit will trace her musical journey, which began in the 1990s in her East Texas hometown, Golden."

“I absolutely adore the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum,” said Kacey, “and it’s a privilege to have them curate an exhibit that will showcase pieces from moments all the way back to my childhood that are very special to me.”

Musgraves is currently playing a three-night sold out stint at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, with the final show tomorrow night.

Also announced by the Country Music Hall of Fame are exhibits celebrating Keith Whitley and Brooks & Dunn.
