Grammys 2025: Kacey Musgraves’ Reaction to Beyoncé's Win Clarified

Published February 4, 2025

The 2025 Grammy Awards sparked some conversation regarding Kacey Musgraves and her reaction to losing the Best Country Album award to Beyoncé for her album Cowboy Carter on February 2. Following the event, a video showing Musgraves' reaction went viral, leading many fans to question whether she was upset about the loss.

To address the growing speculation, Kacey's representative made a statement on February 3, emphasizing that the narrative suggesting any hostility was completely false. The statement noted, "It’s a sensationalistic false narrative meant to pit two talented female artists against each other. There was simply no scowl or expression made."

Before Kacey's clarification, online conversations fueled rumors of discontent. Social media users expressed their thoughts, with comments like, "Is Kacey Musgraves mad that Beyoncé won? She sure looks it," and "Why Kacey Musgraves got on a stank look?"

Despite these unfounded claims, Kacey has previously spoken positively about Beyoncé's influence in the country music scene. In a March 2024 interview with The Cut, Kacey stated her belief that there is plenty of room for different artists in the genre. She expressed her enthusiasm, saying, "The more the f--king merrier. I don’t really care. It doesn’t affect what I’m doing. It’s just fun to watch."

At the 2025 Grammys, while Kacey Musgraves may have lost in the Best Country Album category, her song The Architect won the award for Best Country Song. This recognition highlights her contribution to the genre, despite the heated competition.
