I don't think you can compare her to Lana Del Ray. Unless you are comparing styles in fashion. She reminds me more of a modern Dolly Parton. She is so creative.

"not your grandma's country star"

Have you ever listened to Dolly Parton ? She tackled labour rights, women's issues, and various other social issues in her music. As did a hell of a lot of other classic country musicians. Folsom Prison Blues? Sixteen Tons? Johnny Paycheck? We haven't seen mainstream Country/Western artists do this in a couple of generations.

She is EXACTLY your grandma's country star.

I had the opportunity to see her live in concert when she opened for Harry Styles. I’ve listened to her music ever since. I’m a late fan but I’ve supported her ever since then. She’s amazing

I’m a long time fan of Kacey (6 years) and it isn’t a “new” genre she’s doing - it’s called outlaw country. Like Willie Nelson, she just goes against the mold and sings about things that aren’t usually touched upon in country music.

[L.Scott_Music]

Here's the thing.  Old country back in the day was songs about issues of the day.  Kacey also sings about issues of the day.  Maybe Country Radio is the one that changed things by demanding that true country is about singing about issues of the past which is not original country.  Just a thought.

[JEMCochran]

To be an original is a good thing. That's what made Dolly great, it's what made Willie great, it made Taylor great. Keep being your original self.

kacey is amazing. love that she's not scared to say that everyone deserves equality. country music has not been kind referring to LGBT issues and people.

I love Kacy! Her voice is so sweet and touching! Her album “Pageant Material” did not get enough recognition!

[RC-Heli]

I'm so glad she didn't give her Arrow song away to Katy Perry. I loved so much shooting a bow and arrow as a kid and it took me back some years to see her shoot, walk over and fetch her arrow in the Follow Your Arrow Official Video. I always had a bow and arrow as a kid and still have one to this day albeit way more powerful than the 25lb recurved bow I used to shoot.
When she shot that arrow it felt like cupid shot me strait in the heart and I saw fireworks bursting into shimmering hearts and slowly fading!

[iwastubed]

Discovered her when she performed "High Horse" on the Ellen Show. Her style captivated me and I have been listening to her ever since

our yee hawin' queen! the recognition she

[JenniferRosaie]

Its not really a new genre. Its outlaw country which intentionally goes against the nashville mainstream sound. Its not a new thing for radio to refuse to play an artist that doesn't fit the majority of the audiences views. I've loved her since Same Trailer and I love that she is being more appreciated but she's stuck in the middle of having views of a crowd that doesn't listen to country. Yes, she should be more recognized, but people need to be more open minded.

[kenzienettleton]

Been here since the very beginning and couldn’t be happier that she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves.

[mackenzieesslin]

Merry Go Round and Dime Store Cowgirl are my favorites. Love Golden Hour too 💜

[iPodchik]

Nobody better EVER compare her to Taylor Swift or so help me you will have yeed your last haw

[simplysarx]
