On Sunday, February 2, Kacey Musgraves was one of the early 2025 Grammy Award winners.
“The Architect” won Best Country Song during the non-broadcast pre-show before the televised ceremony, and the country-turned-pop star used the occasion to deliver a passionate speech.
“I did not expect that!” Musgraves exclaimed as she stepped onto the stage in a white tank top and a long, glittering skirt.
She praised her supporters and professional team, referring to them as the “best in the world.”
“There’s much darkness in this world right now, and it just feels so good to be able to fight some of that darkness through song,” she stated. It’s a true honor. Thank you.
