Kacey Musgraves is lifting the curtain on the East Texas house that helped make her who she is — and it’s full of unexpected details that fed into her new record, Middle of Nowhere, due May 1. Read on to discover the full story!
The 37-year-old Grammy winner showed PEOPLE an immersive Zillow listing of the pink bungalow her family has owned for about a century. Ancestors settled the land around 1909 and built a farmhouse that later burned in 2014; Musgraves purchased the smaller dwelling beside it, keeping the property in the family and even painting it pink to honor her late grandmother. A giant Texas flag on the front-porch ceiling and other heirlooms make the place feel almost sacred to her.
