- Hi, AD.
I'm Kacey Musgraves.
Welcome to my home here in Nashville.
Come on in.
[chill music]
This is my fun little entryway.
There's a lot of little tchotchkes and things here
that mean a lot to me.
With this house I've tried to really embrace
a minimalistic style,
and that's hard for me
'cause I like to collect things as I go
that remind me of a place I was in or whatever.
So, this kind of area is dedicated to
the collections of things.
I've got a lot of my crystals here.
I really love that you can own a piece of the Earth
that's millions of years old.
When I zoom out that kind of blows my mind.
And a lot of the stuff I found just at antique stores,
estate sales.
That's one of my favorite things to do
is to get up on a Saturday with the early birds
and, you know, try to find some bargains at estate sales.
I've got some cool pictures here.
This is my grandmother and her dad in Dallas in the forties.
Looks like she's a little sassy about something.
Here's my grandpa.
Look how cute.
My sister's a photographer.
She had a family project where she made us
all pick our favorite colors.
Pop's favorite color is yellow,
so he obliged us by letting us dress him up like this.
He was like, "This is ridiculous."
But I think he secretly loved it.
Some fan art that I really love that someone made of me
that they just cut pieces paper,
and I was like, "That doesn't even really look like me,
but I just kind of like it."
Pepper, come here.
This is Pepper.
She's a rescue.
She's a pound puppy, and she's batshit crazy.
[chill music]
This is the art room that I admittedly don't use enough.
I'm gone a lot,
and then, you know, whenever I'm here
I don't always have the energy to be creative again,
but whenever I do, I really love this room.
It's got the most amazing natural light.
This jade plant I'm really proud of.
She's from a tree that was about 95 years old,
and she's happy in this corner,
and I'm like, "Hope you stay that way."
This is my craft space.
Lately I have been interested in clay work, pottery wheel.
I'm kind of honestly really jazzed about that.
I had a pottery class last night.
That's my new favorite thing.
I really love macaws.
My grandmother, she had lots of macaws, parrots.
My mom grew up with a monkey at one point.
My mom had six brothers, a half sister, a monkey.
They had a pet skunk at one point.
Macaws have been a reoccurring kind of a spiritual thing
that has come up in really random
kind of serendipitous ways for me,
and so someone told me that I really think a lot of them.
They were like, "Keep macaw feathers around you."
So, I do.
I've got a framed joint from Willie Nelson.
That's gonna stay there unless I need to break it
in case of emergency.
[quirky music]
This room is one of my favorites in the house.
The color, it's called dead salmon,
which is kind of a vibe I guess,
but I wanted everything to be the same color of the ceiling.
I love a monochromatic moment.
This was one of the original things that was in the house.
I really love this fixture a lot.
This is probably the most musical room of the house.
It's where I kind of feel most inspired
to kind of pick up my guitar,
or kind of work on a song idea,
and actually I just got this guitar that I wanna show you.
It's from the 1860s and it's a little Martin.
It's very lightweight.
If you hear that rolling around in there,
there was a rattlesnake tail in there whenever I got it,
and it was apparently an old superstitious thing
with musicians where they'd put that in there
and they thought that it would bring them song luck,
so I'm leaving it in.
[acoustic guitar music]
Oh God, it's really outta tune.
It's really out of tune
But it's a good guitar for finger picking,
and this is really lightweight,
but it's also kind of comical
because it came in this coffin case is what they call it.
It's so thread bear it's like,
you could look at it wrong and it would fall apart.
So, I need to figure that out.
But I think for now this guitar
is probably just gonna stay in this room.
These shelves are so fun.
I found this set of books at an estate sale, which I loved.
This is one, a record that I love a lot,
Mercedes Sosa sang this version of "Gracias a la Vida"
which I covered on my last album.
Yeah, I heard the song and I was floored,
and anyways, someone gave me this.
Hey, remember these?
They're just really fun.
Then they kind of makes me angry
and then I have a to walk away.
This is my mom.
This is a really great picture of her that I had blown up.
She was probably about 18 or 19 in this picture
and just full of her Texan Leo sass.
I took piano lessons back in the day whenever I was little,
but I would always get in trouble for playing by ear
and not just actually learning how to read the music.
Actually wrote "Camera Roll" on this piano.
It has a really warm, kind of unique sound.
If I have kind of a song idea,
I'll kinda toy around mostly in this room,
and I actually have had a bunch of new ideas lately,
so after you guys leave, I might play around with some.
[funky music]
This is my kitchen.
I love this kitchen so much
'cause of all the natural light, the big windows,
and my favorite part of maybe the whole house
is my plant wall,
which plagues me and excites me at the same time.
But it's just so pretty,
and I think that these little babies
get a lot of natural love.
Okay, so my current favorite plant
is this little baby bonsai right here.
My boyfriend give this to me for Christmas.
It's a cherry blossom,
so whenever it matures
and I can eventually shape it like a bonsai,
which I know nothing about,
and it actually really stresses me out,
it's supposed to bloom
and look just like an actual cherry blossom, but just mini.
Seems like it's happy.
I don't know.
I'm just gonna pray for it,
put it on my prayer list
And I actually joined a bonsai society here in Nashville.
I haven't been to a meeting yet,
but I'm really hoping that it's me
and just like a bunch of old people.
I'm really hoping,
so I'll let you know how that goes.
This was one of my latest little sets,
kind of raw edge ceramic.
And then here's another little hand built piece
that I just did.
There's my signature.
I think I love clay work
because, well, first off you're working with
Earth material and I feel grounded afterwards,
working, getting my hands dirty.
It's also really meditative and kind of hypnotic.
I don't know.
There's really no right or wrong.
You don't have to be good.
Even the mistakes look really great.
[Pepper barks]
Excuse me.
So yeah, that's been a really fun outlet for me.
This lighting fixture was originally in my bedroom upstairs,
but I thought it would be really cool down here,
and there's actually kind of another recurring theme here
with orbs.
I was going through a big life change,
and orbs were kind of a symbol for me,
maybe full circle.
When I'm home I cook.
One of my boyfriend and I's favorite thing to do together
is to run into Whole Foods,
get all the yummy ingredients, pop a bottle of wine,
put on some music,
and just have fun together in the kitchen.
So, this is a really, really great space for that.
[funky music]
Watch your steps.
I love a sunken living room a lot.
This house was very different when I moved in,
but I instantly felt drawn to it.
There's a lot of craziness in my life,
so I really wanted a really serene space to come home to
that felt kinda like honestly, a spa,
and a place where I could find room for my thoughts.
I do love modern architecture and lines,
but I get wary sometimes with modernity being,
is that the word,
being sterile and kind of cold feeling,
so it was really important for me to have
a lot of different textures
maybe of the same tones.
Sexture as I call it.
This is interesting.
This was found at a French antique store.
It's a hornet's nest that was actually built around a basket
and it kind of terrifies the shit outta me at night.
I like it because it's Earth texture.
It almost looks like a woman's bodice or something,
but at night it's scary,
so sometimes I take it down,
so I don't look at it.
[upbeat music]
Let's go in here.
[curtain track rattles]
It's kinda fun.
I found this travertine table on,
I think it was either Chairish or 1stDibs,
which I get in trouble on.
That and Zillow,
I'm like, "Why am I on here again?
Like, I'm just," no,
but I found this table and I knew I loved that.
And then this pop of yellow was really fun too.
[chill music]
Let me show you guys my little watering hole, my bar area.
Here's another thing I made.
I sculpted this in this class that I did
with all these old ladies.
This was summer before last.
The object of the class was take a four legged animal,
it can be any animal.
Okay, I'm feeling some camel energy right now.
And then, actually not that long ago on tour,
I was at a antique store.
This really super old man had this really cool store,
and this was in there, and it really caught my eye,
and he said that it was popular for English artists
in the 1800s to travel to Africa
and paint the scenes that they saw.
And I'm a sucker for a gradient.
So I was like,
"I want you."
And it made friends with my camel here.
I haven't named this camel yet,
but what am I doing?
Nadine, her name's Nadine.
[funky music]
I love this guest room so much.
My favorite part is this bed.
It's from the 1800s and it's French.
I just think the detail work is so beautiful on it.
It's so feminine,
and I think it's a nice juxtaposition to kind of
all the other stuff in the house.
It kind of leans mid-century or a little bit more modern.
Definitely an eclectic grouping of style.
You can't really put your finger on,
but I kinda like it like that.
Here's Karen again
I don't know how Karen got two features in this house.
I'm guessing this is late seventies,
probably really early eighties,
and if you'll notice in this picture,
this was when Coca-Cola was still a three liter,
and had a metal screw cap,
so I think that's like a fun timestamp to the photo.
[chill music]
This bathroom is basically exactly how it was
whenever I moved in,
and what's interesting,
if you'll notice all the nude sketches
kinda from floor ceiling,
in the house that I was in previous to this,
an idea that I had for a bathroom in that house
was to do floor ceiling nude sketches
as I was collecting them at estate sales and stuff.
Well, long story short,
I moved into this house and it was already here.
And I was like, "That's kind of interesting."
Just the serendipitous idea,
so I left it like this.
They're all done by this artist named Hazel King.
She's passed away now,
but I just think it's such a cool idea for wallpaper.
Oh, there's a little spider there,
which is my worst nightmare.
Where'd it go?
Oh, my God.
If you see it on me, you better tell me.
[quirky music]
I really love this plant.
I'm reading that they kind of need full sun,
so I might have to move him soon,
but I just really love kind of the Dr. Seuss meets Japan
nature of this tree.
It's a French Blue Scotch Pine,
if I'm remembering right.
I'm just praying for it.
This mirror is all made of bone.
I found this at an antique market as well,
along with these two yellow stools.
So this is a extremely old.
It's, I wanna say, Moroccan or Persian.
This is another first dibs find.
It's from the seventies.
It's a Murano.
Again, an orb it's kind of pulling in the yellow.
I really love that one.
This is such a fun little tchotchke right here.
Edie Parker, they make really fun smoking accessories,
like tabletop lighters,
and they're super heavy,
and there's also an ashtray that fits on there,
but they did this for me,
put my initials on it,
but it's like,
[lighter clicks]
it's kind of fun.
[synth music]
Here we are in my bedroom.
I feel like I spend most of my time in here.
This is my favorite place to be.
I was in love with the shelves,
but this room was really dark green.
I've totally changed it.
This piece of selenite is so freaking heavy and so big.
I've got some coral, some more quartz and stuff up there.
This headboard is really fun.
It was custom made for this space.
It's freaking massive,
and it's kind of that boucle sheerling type texture.
This painting is one of my favorite things.
Lucia Lopez was a Cuban artist in the fifties and sixties.
She did a lot of really amazing kind of cubism,
but I really loved the actual sketch mixed with that frame.
It's not something that I feel like
you'd normally see together,
and I really loved the juxtaposition of that kind of
feminine frame with abrupt sketch or whatever.
This is the chair I never sit in.
It's highly uncomfortable, but it is really cool.
This is another antique store find,
and I kind of just pile clothes on it, to be honest.
This is a commission that I had done by Christian Georgie.
She's one of my favorite artists.
She paints on linen, which I think is really cool,
and I think one of the things
she's probably really known for is female forms,
nudes and stuff like that.
But she also does abstract landscapes
with really pretty washed out colors,
and it's been really cool to see her
over the last six months or a year
start getting a lot of notoriety and recognition
that she deserves
'cause I just feel like she's so talented.
So, she did this piece for me,
and I think I really wanted a pop of color
and happiness amongst kinda all the neutrality in the space,
and there's another orb,
and that was by accident.
My sconces, we built some of those
into this headboard over here too.
[upbeat music]
Here's my bathroom.
This is another one of my favorite spaces.
It feels so serene.
I feel like I'm in a spa and I really love it.
This is the first house I've ever
put my creative kind of mind into,
and it's the first time I've ever been able to
express myself in a home sense,
so it was really fun for me,
but this bathroom is totally different.
I just try to keep things really minimal.
I love,
[water rushes]
the knobs being just like,
I guess their quartz maybe.
And the sconces kind of just being,
again, just super, super minimal.
This is where I kind of sit and do my makeup.
This was another antique find, an old mirror.
I just love the bowl shape of this.
I'd say decently frequently
I take a good Epsom salt bath or something,
but mostly I just kind of try to run by the window
and hope nobody's peeping.
It's just a nice, fun little area where I dress,
and pick out my perfume,
and I look at sweet little mementos from my life.
[cool music]
So, this is fun.
This is the upstairs nap zone.
This is where you get really comfy.
I really like the checker board,
and my favorite part of this room is this curved window.
It's also so beautiful in the spring
when everything is blooming,
but this table was here when I moved here,
and I love it so much,
so I've just added some really fun things.
And this has a really cool story.
This poster,
it's from the original "Romeo and Juliet" from 1968.
A friend, she did all my album design
and stuff for "Star-Crossed",
which is very influenced by kind of that classic
love gone wrong Shakespearean tale,
so she gave it to me for my birthday and I had it framed,
and it has its little moment right here.
[cool music]
Got a couple guest rooms up here.
I really love this one a lot.
It's just kind of a big mix of things I found.
I got this from Pottery Barn years ago,
and then this was an antique find.
This is another 1800s painting.
There's a sister that goes to it too.
And this is the other upstairs guest room.
I love this desk in this room so much.
I'm a big fan of Marfa, Texas.
If you haven't been, you gotta go.
It's way out in the desert.
But the Prada Marfa print is one of my favorites.
And then we have Cher on roller skates.
This was a present from my manager, Jason.
It's signed by Douglas Kirkland.
There's not that many of these photographs,
and it's from 1979,
but it's, [bleep] Cher on roller skates.
What's not to love?
[upbeat music]
So, this is my home gym.
Yeah, I got a little treadmill, some weights.
I'm really lucky and thankful that I have
this space to come use.
I kind of started putting it together
during the pandemic when gyms were closing,
so my favorite part is being able to come in here
and jump into the sauna and sweat my ass off,
sweat all my sins out.
[chill music]
This is my little outdoor space.
Well, I guess you wouldn't call little.
There's a lot of Magnolia trees out here.
I've got some lights strung up.
I have a pool back here and it's a really fun space.
[energetic music]
Thank you, AD.
This has been such a blast,
but I'm gonna put my sweatpants back on
and order some Postmates,
so y'all need to leave now.
Bye.
Thanks.
