Inspirations and music style

Musgraves singing in January 2016

Musgraves said that Alison Krauss is one of her career role models. Musgraves also said her favorite singer is John Prine. She also said Lee Ann Womack is one of her childhood inspirations.

Musgraves said albums by Glen Campbell, Bobbie Gentry, Marty Robbins, Charley Pride, Roger Miller, and Jim Croce were inspirations for some of her albums. In an interview with Rolling Stone, she said that Ray Price, Julie Miller, and Loretta Lynn inspired her music making. In a Billboard interview, Musgraves said that she is a Dolly Parton fan and was inspired by her activism.

Some non-country musical inspirations that Musgraves mentioned were Cher, Selena, Ryan Adams, Cake, Neil Young, Weezer, Imogen Heap, Bee Gees, Sade, and Electric Light Orchestra.

Her music has been seen as progressive, which was seen as different from the usual conservative themes in country music. Her music has focused on accepting LGBT people, safe sex, recreational marijuana use, and questioning religious beliefs. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Musgraves talked about criticism she had for her progressive lyrics, saying "I think throwing the rebel card out there is really cheap. The things I'm singing about are not controversial to me, I don't push buttons to push buttons. I talk about things that have made an impression on me that a lot of people everywhere are going through."

In August 2026, Musgraves asked her fans at a concert in Chicago to donate to the non-profit Young Center for Immigrant Children's Rights as her "birthday gift" to support immigrant children whose parents have been deported. Many conservatives and supporters of President Donald Trump did not like this and criticized Musgraves.

Personal life

Musgraves lives in Nashville, Tennessee. She owns a horse named Nava.

In 2014, Musgraves said she dated bandmate Misa Arriaga for many years after they first became friends and worked together.

Musgraves met Ruston Kelly in March 2016 in Nashville. In May 2016, they had a songwriting date, and they began dating shortly after. Musgraves said that the song "Butterflies" from her album Golden Hour is about her relationship with Kelly. On December 24, 2016, Musgraves and Kelly were engaged. They married on October 14, 2017 in Tennessee. The couple divorced in 2020.

From 2021 to 2023, Musgraves was in a relationship with Cole Schafer, a poet.

In June 2025, Musgraves was taken to a hospital after falling and breaking a rib while on vacation in Mexico. This caused Musgraves to cancel a show later in the month and another in September.
