Kacey Musgraves

Another alum of Nashville Star, Kacey Lee Musgraves, was on the show with three albums already under her belt. She placed seventh on the show. However, it was a few more years before she was signed with Mercury Nashville Records. Musgraves has become popular thanks to the fact that her music doesn’t avoid controversial topics. In 2016, she and Rustin Kelly were engaged. Thanks to her breaking of the mould, she has non-country fans too.

Another legacy entry, Kris Kristofferson, is a major country star from the 1970s. He wasn’t just a star in his own right but also wrote most of the Grammy-winning songs of 1972. He likes to reminisce about his time hanging out with singers like Johnny Cash. Although he has a tour planned, it’s been complicated by health issues. This is understandable, seeing as he is 80 years old. We wish him health and continued success.
