The Untold Truth Of Country Star Kacey Musgraves

Since bursting onto the scene in 2013, Kacey Musgraves has been making waves in the country music industry with her impeccable songwriting ability and refusal to conform to mainstream country music norms. Here's everything you need to know about the woman redefining an entire genre. Kacey Musgraves is one of music's brightest stars, but she's far from an overnight success. The country crooner has been working toward her many accomplishments in the music industry for most of her life, including performing every weekend in her regional opry circuit with a live country band when she was only eight years old. At the age of 12, Musgraves began taking guitar lessons from a local teacher and musician named John DeFoore, calling the experience one of the most important things that ever happened to her. According to Musgraves, DeFoore would push her to write a new song every week - and while the singer insists her first songs were "pretty bad," she says DeFoore's homework gave her a new appreciation for the creative process.
