While country music has certainly grown since the time of the song\u2019s release, the song broke boundaries within its genre, promoting queerness and originality with the lyrics <strong>\u201cSo, make lots of noise \/\/ Kiss lots of boys \/\/ Or kiss lots of girls \/\/ If that\u2019s something you\u2019re into \/\/ When the straight and narrow \/\/ Gets a little too straight \/\/ Roll up a joint, or don\u2019t \/\/ Just follow your arrow \/\/ Wherever it points, yeah.\u201d<\/strong> The song is an anthem for being yourself and blocking out the judgment because let\u2019s be honest, we\u2019d all be better off if we just followed our arrow.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/4CLPNURPcKztF9RRdcWLGP?si=NneL7_psRYCJnt0hv2Lgog[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<b>\u201cDime Store Cowgirl\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether you\u2019re from Musgrave\u2019s home state of Texas or not, this song has the unique ability to make you miss home. Throughout the song, Musgraves details the places she\u2019s been and the experiences she\u2019s had, but at the end of the day she sings <strong>\u201c\u2018Cause I\u2019m still the girl from Golden \/\/ Had to get away so I could grow \/\/ But it don\u2019t matter where I\u2019m goin\u2019 \/\/ I\u2019ll still call my hometown home.\u201d<\/strong> The song is fun, catchy, upbeat, and nostalgic.

Musgraves sings about growing up in the south and the beauty pageants she was subjected to as a child. But instead of singing their praises, Musgraves sings <strong>\u201cI ain\u2019t pageant material \/\/ I\u2019m always higher than my hair \/\/ And it ain\u2019t that I don\u2019t care about world peace \/\/ But I don\u2019t see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage.\u201d<\/strong> Something that makes Musgraves such a unique artist is that she\u2019s completely unapologetic, standing her ground and sharing her opinions while recognizing that it\u2019s ok to disagree. This song is quirky, out of the box, and downright hilarious. Paired with its twangy accompaniment, \u201cPageant Material\u201d is everything Musgraves represents with her music and more.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/0tVtxY5EotWzEafJhyCAhf?si=oCkyd3guQZ-4fb5GFZaRZA[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<b>\u201cHappy &amp; Sad\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Off her Grammy award-winning album, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Golden Hour, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHappy &amp; Sad\u201d is one of those rare songs that perfectly explains a feeling you have never been able to put into words.
