Change, though it can be painful, is an essential part of life — and for Kacey Musgraves, it was also an essential part of making a Grammy-award winning album. In a 2018 interview with SPIN, Musgraves detailed the year-plus she spent making her third studio album, Golden Hour, saying, "Last year was the year of change for me. You can't imagine how many things changed for me. Business management, booking agency, band members, tour manager... new producers, new songwriters. Almost every single thing changed."
However, the changes in Musgraves' life weren't purely professional. The songstress also experienced a major shake up in her personal life when she split from her boyfriend Misa Arriaga — who also happened to be her (now ex) bandmate. "I was in a weird place personally," Musgraves revealed to SPIN. I was getting out of a long relationship, I didn't have a lot of self-confidence. I didn't feel great about myself, so I needed time to figure it out again."
