Kacey Musgraves is easily on her way to the top of country music. After just releasing her albumSame Trailer, Different Park, a hit song "Merry Go 'Round," and writing songs with the likes of country superstar Miranda Lambert, she's just getting started. 

She tells iHeartRadio about her song "Merry Go' Round," "It's a song that was started by kind of growing up in a conservative environment in Texas and it's just about getting outside of like what you know and what you've like grown up around to get a different perspective. Because a lot of people don't ever and they just kind of end up settling because they're scared to fail. So they don't leave what they are totally comfortable with.

Favorite Thing About Being from Texas:

"The food. The barbecue’s so good, beer. There is so many different reasons for liking Texas.

So in one state [you] have like every kind of climate. Its pretty crazy."

Favorite Thing to do in Nashville:

Favorite Hometown Hangout:

"Oh gosh, that would be my parents' back porch. With all their rocking chairs and all the dogs and the lake. In my home town, there's really nowhere to hang out unless I'm at my parents' [house]. There's no bars. It's like a dry county, so there's nothing like that."

Favorite Animal:

"My three legged dog that I have. It’s a girl and she got hit a few years ago out in front of my house, and luckily it didn't do anything more than basically paralyze her right front leg.

"Paris is amazing."

Favorite Drink to Get the Night Started:

"If not red wine then I go for grapefruit vodka. Well any flavored vodka too. On the bus, in the rider, we get sprite zero a lot, so I do cherry vodka and sprite zero. It's low calorie, but it taste basically like a snow cone."

Favorite Thing You've Ever Received From a Fan/Favorite Fan Moment:

"My sister put together this birthday video for my birthday last year and she got literally everybody that I know to put in a little birthday message. But my fans in the UK, they kind of did the same thing and did a birthday message and posted on YouTube. It was the sweetest, it made me cry. It was the sweetest thing ever, just all these fans, people I've never met, just being so sweet and made me little signs. It was just crazy. I was alone in my hotel room on my birthday and just to have that, people giving me messages from across the world that I have never met, just giving me love, I'm just like are you serious? It was crazy."
