Kacey Musgraves’ Mom Grew Up With a Monkey and Pet Skunk

Any fan of Kacey Musgraves knows she isn’t the most traditional country artist. In fact, she doesn’t even like to label herself that way. From her eyebrow-raising song lyrics to her outspoken support of progressive causes, this is one woman who isn’t afraid to make a fuss. And as it turns out, Kacey Musgraves had a pretty great upbringing — and so did her mom. 

In several recent interviews, Kacey Musgraves talked about her mom and childhood and told some interesting stories, including how her mother’s family used to house some rather non-traditional pets.
