Having to work that much harder to overcome all of those unfortunate and archaic deficits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And overcome, she has. Musgraves is nominated four Grammy awards this year, which means that she could go home with trophies for album of the year and best country album for <em>Golden Hour<\/em>, best country solo performance for \u201cButterflies\u201d and best country song for \u201cSpace Cowboy.\u201d <em>Golden Hour<\/em> also won the CMA Award for album of the year in late 2018.<\/p>\n<p>All of that without any consistent support from country radio.<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\">Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oBM_Tz88XKg?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oBM_Tz88XKg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p>About a year ago, when Musgraves was on the verge of releasing <em>Golden Hour<\/em>, she\u2019d told me that she intended to make it an album about all the ways you can love and all the ways you can live in a relationship. \u201cI wanted it to be a well-rounded album,\u201d she\u2019d said. \u201cSo it\u2019s just songs about life through my lens, I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also her most personal album she\u2019s ever made. \u201cAlso \u2014 so much great music was released this year. I really believe that art is thriving. Being nominated alongside great albums that garner way larger sales numbers and radio play is extra special for me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt lets me know that hard work does pay off, and also that people just want to connect to music that makes them feel something regardless of what genre it\u2019s labeled under.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also had some advice for her younger self. \u201cStop. Tweezing. Your. Eyebrows,\u201d she said, probably as a joke but also very sage advice.<\/p>\n<p>The 61st <em>Grammy Awards<\/em> will be broadcast live from Los Angeles on Sunday (Feb. 10) at 7 p.m. CT on CBS.<\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\">Alison makes her living loving country music.
