“It’s been a very long process, but I got really inspired by it,” Musgraves said at the New York premiere of The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show. “In my mind, I pictured this Wes Anderson-meets-Gucci-meets-Cher-meets-a live theater production.”

“What if we create a Christmas old-school TV special, à la the Judy Garland Show or The [Sonny and] Cher Show?” Musgraves continued. “Where there’s freeform, comedy bits, pretty sets, little vignettes, and the music flows throughout with a live band.”

From this collection, the most popular song is Musgraves’ song “Glittery,” which features Troye Sivan. On Spotify, this track has over 30 million plays. The YouTube music video has almost a million views, with Musgraves later performing this song live on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
