The Grammy-winning singer recently opened up about spending much of her time at her new home in Mexico, where she’s found a slower pace of life and plenty of inspiration for her music.

Kacey Musgraves Reveals She’s Spending Most Of Her Time In Mexico After Finding A New Home There

The “Rainbow” singer recently posed for PEOPLE magazine, appearing on the cover of its upcoming November 23rd issue. While discussing her latest album, Middle of Nowhere, and the new chapter she’s entering both personally and professionally, the country star revealed that she’s been spending a significant amount of time in Mexico over the past year and a half.

In fact, the change of scenery has become such an important part of her life that the Texas native now considers Mexico home for much of the year. While living there, she learned more about the influence Mexican culture had on American country music, further inspiring her award-nominated seventh studio album. She explained that whenever she has time away from work, she typically heads south of the border, where she’s found a lifestyle that has completely changed her perspective and inspired her in more ways than one.

“Over a year and a half ago is when I started really spending a lot of time down there…and I’ve learned so much, and it’s just been really beautiful,” she said. “I think things move at a different pace down there. I live a really simple, beautiful life. I’m barefoot most of the time; I spend a lot of time outside. I have all my needs taken care of, I’ll say that.”

Fans Applaud Kacey's New Lifestyle Following Her Latest Political Comments About Donald Trump

The singer's latest revelations come after years of making headlines for being outspoken about her political beliefs, particularly when it comes to criticizing Donald Trump and his administration. Aside from some of her more recent political statements, back in 2020, the "Follow Your Arrow" vocalist made waves when she publicly called out people planning to vote for Trump.

 

"If you love an LGBTQ+ person and you're planning on voting for Donald Trump in November, that's an act of violence against them," she shared in a social media post.

 

Fans and other social media users were quick to celebrate the country star's latest update about her life in Mexico. Many seemed thrilled to see the singer embracing a slower, happier lifestyle.

 

"Mexico changed my life too and deserves so much more respect," commented an Instagram user.

 

"You are so great!" wrote a fan. "Thank you for all you have done to fight injustice and suffering."

 

"Yes, you are so right!" echoed another. "That's why I love country music, because of my Hispanic heritage!"

 

"Mexican music is what inspired country music," a user wrote.

 

"She's living my dream life," added another.
