Kacey Musgraves isn't a new name in country music and at just 24 the Texas-born singer-songwriter has a handful of albums to her name.
But it's her latest on a major label, Same Trailer Different Park, that's helped her cross that notorious country-pop divide, earning her two awards at this year's Grammys.
It's about now that the penny should drop for all those New Zealanders glued to the TV screens that day in late January watching Lorde. Remember the singer wearing cowboy boots covered in fairy-light rhinestones? That was Musgraves.
Her performance of Follow Your Arrow is far more worthy of remembering than the sparkly boots, as is the song Merry Go 'Round for which she won Best Country Song. A clever play on words about small-town United States, it's the tune that proved to be the game-changer for Musgraves
