Kacey Musgraves decided to skip the 2015 CMT Awards to perform for the first time ever the song “Family Is Family” on Late Night With Seth Meyers.
“Family Is Family” is from her much anticipated upcoming album Pageant Material. The song is a classic Musgraves tune with honest lyrics like “you get what you get” when it comes to your family.
“Family is family, in church or in prison / You get what you get, and you don’t get to pick ‘em / They might smoke like chimneys but give you their kidneys / Yeah, friends come in handy, but family is family,” she sings in the chorus.

The song rings true in classic country style as Kacey continues to channel icons like Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton.
“Pageant Material was really inspired by a lot of the classic records and artists I love: Glen Campbell, Jim Croce, Bobbie Gentry, Marty Robbins, Roger Miller, Charley Pride,” she says.
”Records that set an even tone throughout are ones that I usually gravitate towards.”
Pageant Material is set for release on June 23. The album is available for pre-order via iTunes, Amazon and MyPlayDirect.com.
