The "Kacey Musgraves: All of the Colors" exhibit opened at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville today (7/2).

Last night, Musgraves toured the Country Music Hall of Fame, including her new exhibit.

She said, "To be given my own space in a building that is full of such rich history is something I don’t take lightly. I didn’t think it would make me super emotional but to see everything laid out in a physical sense…in a physical timeline from birth to today...it’s a really nostalgic and beautiful feeling for me because there’s so much that you forget."

Musgraves continued, "I’m somebody that gets really focused and excited about what’s right in front of me, and then I check it off and move on to the next thing. There’s a lot that gets lost in the blur of all the busyness, but there’s a lot to be celebrated and a lot to be remembered so...it’s really a special moment.”

Some of the items in the new exhibit are a tip jar used by Musgraves and Tatum when they performed as yodeling duo Texas Two Bits, a detention notice received for “continuous classroom disruption” during high school, a manuscript for “Fallin’,” a song written by Musgraves with Miranda Lambert, a multi-frilled Giambattista Valli Haute Couture ball gown worn by Musgraves to the 2019 Academy Awards and more.

The exhibit runs till June 7, 2020.
