GOLDEN HOUR follows the massive success of Kacey’s critically-acclaimed albums SAME TRAILER DIFFERENT PARK, PAGEANT MATERIAL and A VERY KACEY CHRISTMAS (Debut chart week Nov 19, 2016: #143 Billboard 200; #16 Country 4,765 copies sold; 8 week total 55,100 at Jan 3, 2017).

Both Same Trailer Different Park (released March 19, 2013; No.2 Billboard 200; #1 Top Country albums; debut sales 43,496 scanned GOLD at retail chart week April 11, 2015) and Pageant Material (released June 23, 2015; No.3  Billboard 200; #1 Top Country albums; debut sales 54,752 copies; by September 2016 the album had sold 179,400 copies) debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, with Kacey becoming the first solo female in 5 years to top the chart with a rookie release and only the seventh to do so in Nielsen SoundScan’s 22-year history.

In the UK PAGEANT MATERIAL made a debut on the Official Top 100 Chart at No.11 (7,284 sales; chart week July 4, 2015; 5-week Chart Run: 11-29-40-63-100)

Musgraves is not just an original but very catchy. Pageant Material is a master class in how to produce a commercial album. This is an extremely strong outing that will likely out-do all the achievements of its predecessor. I guarantee you'll be singing it’s a hi-i-i-i-gh time before very long! (4.5 STARS) Duncan Warwick Country Music People

This is an even better album than her last, with more consistency and variety (Billboard; 4.5 STARS)

This album is comprised of many strands; thoughts, emotions, ideas that are enacted both sonically and lyrically, and delivered with an expression and personality that is purely Kacey....it’s one of the most brilliant records I have ever heard...What’s a sophomore slump? - For The Country Record 

Kacey has won 2 Grammy Awards for Best Country Album and Best Country Song (“Merry Go ‘Round”), 2 CMA Awards for “New Artist of the Year” and “Song of the Year” (“Follow Your Arrow”), and an ACM Award for Album of the Year.

Kacey will tour extensively through 2018, kicking the year off with THE BREAKERS TOUR with Little Big Town and Midland. 
She’ll play the highly-coveted second slot at Stagecoach following Keith Urban on April 28th before joining Harry Styles as direct support on his major summer tour, including 2 nights each at New York City’s legendary Madison Square Garden and Los Angeles’ iconic The Forum.

In addition to her significant touring presence in the U.S., Kacey continues to break boundaries as one of the most successful country artists in Europe, selling out a headline show at London’s Royal Albert Hall during her last album and headlining this year’s C2C: Country to Country Festival at London’s famed O2 Arena, Dublin and Glasgow.
