I'm definitely impressed she won without radio attention and any kind of hype whatsoever.

[pennywise]

She was feeling Happy & Sad at the same time

[JoshuaEliLewis]

I was so pissed watching this on and then I actually listened to the album and I was she truly deserved this award her album hit me in a different way

[George]

As a big fan, I’m surprisingly okay with people going “WHO?” on her. Kacey has sadly been blacklisted by Country radio ever since she released her progressive song “Follow Your Arrow” years ago, which of course did not sit well with the genre’s mostly conservative folks. Not officially, but almost no Country radio would ever give her a chance. So I get every single comment saying who is she because she sadly has very little exposure. BUT. If you’re saying who and then following it by having never listened to her, and then saying someone else deserved it more, then you are just hating that she won. Plain and simple. Not even willing to give the album a chance but already committing to think somebody else is robbed is just plain hatred.

Give Golden Hour a chance. It didn’t get the highest Metacritic score out of everything nominated for nothing.

[Karlsteins]

Wait, grammy picking a deserved winner? How surprising.

[giratina]

She won Album of the Year on both the Grammys and the CMAs and has one of THE critically acclaimed albums of the year with literaly no support from country or even pop radio, if that isn't pure talent then I don't know what is

[LennonTheBunny]

What's up with the Grammy's cutting everyones speech short? Let people have their moment.

[buchntu]

Wait did the Grammys just pick the RIGHT winner? How new and refreshing lol

[wolfobsessive]

I absolutely love how Alecia Keys handed her the award and said, "This is yours. You get to do this." It was so sweet and genuine, and so was Kacey Musgraves

[emilxiv]

I just downloaded the album on iTunes and spent 50 minutes to give a full listen of it. I gotta say, this is the best country album and one of the best albums I've listened to in years. The world needs more albums like this. Well deserved, Kacey!

[jockmaraisasmr]

There is no one more deserving than her. After years of no support from country radio and still going against the grain, standing up for LGBTQ+ rights in a field that basically crucified her for it, she stayed true to her morals and her artistic integrity and it’s all paying off. What a beautiful woman and Golden Hour has changed my life. Truly.

[Rekko]

This must be the best acceptance speech ever. Kacey sound honest and she is only supporting for other nominees, not trying to trash anyone. Also her voice tells she is moved and even surprised for this all. She is not trying to be funny or collect points. It is also my choice for Album of the Year, so finally we got a choice which is truly amazing.

[fishheadnoodle]

Please, for those who have not heard of her and/or the album, please please take time to listen to this album. It's contemporary so don't worry about it being a traditional country album. It's a masterpiece! I'm soooo happy for Kacey!

[jordannow]

This is so bittersweet knowing she’s divorced and the next album is about her husband and her falling out of love or whatever.
feel so sad for her. But I’m so proud.

[rosierubyjane]

y’all who aren’t familiar with country don’t know how big this is 😭 this is the first country album to have won album of the year since Taylor Swift in 2010! and for a male dominated genre, only females (Kacey, Taylor, Dixie Chicks) have won with country albums in this century 👏🏻 Kacey, the torch has been passed to you. thank you for bringing more recognition to country music

[tomsup]

This might be the first time ever that my favorite album of the year was the same as the Grammy’s.

[MichaelR]

At first I was like who?, then I listen to 3 songs, and yeah she deserve it. Apple Music also have her as number one as well.

[arthurbenedict]

at first, i was like "who the heck is this artist?" but then after i listened to the album, i was like "omg this album is so good!". it's good to say that she really deserved the award so much.

[lordewheresthealbum]

probably one of the most deserved wins of that night

[shwetlana]

Yes, this Album is incredible. Well deserved.
