Kacey Musgraves has always been an LGBTQ+ ally and she’s making sure all her fans feel like her current “Star-Crossed” tour is a safe space to have fun.

“I just feel like one thing that I’ve been really happy about is that people feel like they’re invited to a party that they may not have felt invited to before,” she shared on Amazon Music’s “Country Heat Weekly.” And while she says she’s happy to see country music “widening in a lot of different ways,” she knows there’s still a “long way to go.”

“For me, it’s not just about inclusivity in the LGBTQ community, but I’m so glad that there are more country artists of color or songwriters of color,” she says. “I feel like there’s hopefully a widening of even song matter,” noting, “What we’re singing about, what the songs sound like, just diversity across the board.”

And while Kacey knows, “there’s always gonna be people that are close-minded in any institution or genre,” she says, “I think it’s really cool to be alive in a time where things are being pushed forward…even if it’s in a small way.”
