Kacey Musgraves, who walked away with four Grammys, has often been neglected by country radio.
Women won the 61st annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, especially country songstress Kacey Musgraves as she walked away with the coveted Album of the Year award. However, will the singer’s big win boost her chances of her latest album receiving more radio play?
Musgraves, 30, won four Grammys on Sunday for her third record Golden Hour. She received Best Country Album, Best Country Solo Performance for “Butterflies” and Best Country Song for “Space Cowboy” alongside Album of the Year. Despite scoring the night’s biggest awards, Golden Hour —as well as her previous albums Same Trailer Different Park and Pageant Material —hasn’t received much support from country radio.
After concluding her Album of the Year speech, Musgraves spoke with reporters backstage about whether winning top honors will increase her chances of radio play.
“To me, radio isn’t necessarily the mark of what makes good music,” Musgraves said, according to Fox News . “That’s not what I had in mind when I was making this album. It’s been really amazing and incredible to see it do some really wild, gratifying, unbelievable things—going further than I ever thought that it could.
