Kacey Musgraves - Star Crossed (September 10, 2021) Album • Page 12

What a dork

 

“Plain clothes” at the 2014 Grammys.

 

Also I know this isn't the point there but poor people can wear sparkles, too. I've known plenty of girls who did.

 

Charge your phone! This is giving me anxiety.

 

Me too! I was on a flight watching tenet. Drained me good. I’m back to 100 this morning

 

don't tell Christopher Nolan

 

If it wasn’t for this performance I would’ve never listened to her. Or any country music for that matter. I absolutely detested country music until I saw this performance that night

 

It was an awesome performance.

 

She already “ditched plain clothing” mid-way through her debuts cycle. Lol

 

Definitely gonna try to go. I know it'll be like $20 and not included in A List but still

 

She was in full country kitsch mode for both of those first two albums.

 

got tickets to see the movie in LA!!!

 

threw on both released songs today during a drive and they both really grew on me reallllllllly fast, I can tell this album is gonna be something very special

 

Have I complained in here yet that her candle smells like an old church lady yet

 

aw i love her candle. gonna light it right now

 

We’re close enough to the release that I can talk about it right? It’s simultaneously what I was afraid she would make but sticks the landing. It opens the songwriting and sonic lanes for her that she obviously wanted to go down but doesn’t sacrifice what got her there. I can absolutely see this being someone’s favorite Kacey Musgraves album.

 

Kacey Musgraves: star-crossed

 

Anyone know if the movie will be out at midnight east coast, local time, or what? It's Paramount+ I dunno what they usually do for premiere timing

 

Also it's wild that most of us are gonna listen to this tomorrow, seems so quick!!!

 

Oh wait it's gonna be on Paramount+?! Gonna watch it for sure

 

Yeah "on release day" so definitely Friday, I just dunno if that means like... 9pm for me tomorrow night on west coast or if it's midnight

 

Now I want to know what you were afraid she would do. I know what I was afraid of, so I’m curious if we are coming from the same place on that.

 

Trying to decide if I want the Target exclusive or what the record store I go to will have.

 

I was afraid she would embrace modern sonics and lean far into being a more mainstream pop figure. “High Horse” was a fun song but it felt like a costume to me. Was afraid that the whole album would feel like that if she followed those impulses.

This is that but also… it isn’t? She’s doing all kinds of things, stacking it with ideas when what I prefer from her is Pageant Material era tight songwriting. But in some ways I find it a more natural fit for her personality than Golden Hour. It’s a bit overwrought, and I don’t love how she talks about her marriage (but like… it’s her marriage, who the heck am I to talk?) as a fan of her and her ex-husband’s music. But there are a ton of sad songs on here and she’s so good at that… she’s still a really great communicator and someone who you want to root for.

Idk I’ve had it like a week and wanted to spin it a few times daily so that’s a good sign. Excited to figure out how to articulate my thoughts alongside everybody else. I think folks here will like it but still wish she made a different record.

I am not particularly looking forward to this film though. I’ve had the treatment for months and I’m not sure I’d even watch it if my fiancé didn’t want to see it.
