The dreamy classic, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” by Kacey Musgraves and Lana Del Rey has been released. These two divas collaborate in a melodic holiday classic that is sure to make you feel more festive this season. The song is definitely beautiful as these two talented female artists put a new spin on this traditional song. The recording was performed live from the Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show. The audience claps wildly as Musgraves and Del Rey celebrate each other before the song concludes.

Kacey Musgraves spent over a year creating the show working with a production crew to bring fans the spirit of Christmas. The show has been featured on Amazon Prime on November 29 and in a clip her crew says they created an eccentric and magical show. One crew member says the base of it was like Wes Anderson meets Gucci. The show features artists like Fred Armisen, Camila Cabello, Troye Sivan, Kendall Jenner, Zooey Deschanel, Lana Del Rey and others. Earlier this month, Musgraves performed a song from the special, “Glittery,” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Musgraves will take part in the upcoming Lollapalooza Chile set to take place at O’Higgins Park on March 27-29, 2020 in Santiago, Chile. Other performers at the festival will include Travis Scott, Guns N’ Roses, Lana Del Rey, The Strokes, Gwen Stefani, Vampire Weekend, Cage The Elephant, James Blake, The Lumineers, Charli XCX and so many others. In March 2018, Musgraves released “Butterflies”, along with “Space Cowboy” and “High Horse” all three songs from the album, Golden Hour which is her seventh studio album released through label Mercury Records.

The song “Butterflies” was described by Musgraves as a song that “Represents those feelings that you have when you’re first meeting somebody and you fall in love. This was the first song actually that I wrote after meeting my now-husband, so it was about three weeks after I met him. I was all in. I was like, ‘This is my person.’”

Musgraves also played The Governor’s Ball in the summer of 2019 along with various artists. The Governors Ball which is in its ninth consecutive year took place on Friday, May 31 through Sunday, June 2 with performances at Randall’s Island Park. Some of the artists, including Musgraves were Tyler, the Creator, Florence + the Machine, The Strokes, SZA, The 1975, Brockhampton, Jorja Smith, Vince Staples, Blood Orange, Playboy Carti, Mitski and Noname plus many more.

Kelly Tucker: Originally from Los Angeles, I grew up listening to all types of music. My first concert was Aerosmith with Skid Row, then moved on to concerts with Metallica, Lollapalooza, Guns N’ Roses, Soundgarden and more. One of my favorite shows of all time was when I was in college and someone took me to see the Allman Brothers play. I also scalped a ticket to see Pearl Jam and the amazing Eddie Vedder sing his heart out. My professional career started in 2000 at Nielsen Business Media where I was an assistant in a sales department and later got promoted to advertising account executive. When the recession hit in 2008 and the magazine was sold, I took a job at a call center and later got promoted to assistant to the CEO and COO of a global company. In 2017, I took a position at a pharmaceutical agency, and now currently responsible for coordinating meeting logistics for physicians and pharma reps throughout the United States. In my spare time, I work at Peace4Kids a non-profit in South Los Angeles and write screenplays in hopes to make a breakthrough.
