For her debut album, SameTrailer, Different Park, Musgraves wrote songs that were true to herself.

newcomer Musgraves tiedTaylor Swift and Lorde for the most nominations received by a woman that year! She was so excited she announced it onstage to her fans in the audience. “They found out along with me and so did my band, and we got to celebrate together,” Musgraves says of the special moment. “It was awesome!” The awesomeness didn’t stop there. When it was time for the awards show, Musgraves made the trip to L.A. along with co-writers McAnally and Osborne. They were all proud just to be nominated, and Musgraves knew no matter what happened, she had been true to herself, penning songs for a debut album that was meaningful to her, even if they made her an outsider in country music. When she saw where she was sitting for the pre-broadcast awards show, she was even less sure she would win. She and her team were way in the back, almost by the door!
