It aint rainin anymore, its hard to breathe when all we know.
Because I love the genre so much, I felt, Well fine, maybe I’ll just have an all-gay audience.” When it rain it pours but you didnt even notice. “It’s crazy that a certain kind of a person could feel excluded from a genre that’s so real - or supposed to be so real. Oh my god, you’re invited to my party,” Musgraves said at the New Yorker Festival last year. “What I think it is - someone told me this recently and it broke my heart - they said, I’ve grown up loving country music and I grew up gay in a small town, and country music has always felt like a big party that I wasn’t invited to. Musgraves, a rare voice of LGBTQ acceptance in country music, said the genre’s non-inclusive environment has left her “pissed”: If you like Rainbow, you might also like I Can Change by. The video ends in an uplifting mood with the family united, holding hands. Rainbow is a Country song by Kacey Musgraves, released on March 30th 2018 in the album Golden Hour. As one of the only voices of LGBTQ acceptance in country music, the scene symbolizes the role Musgraves’ accepting music may play in countless rural homes. The song’s themes of self-acceptance come across as especially supportive as she takes a seat at the family dinner table and gazes lovingly at the young man, who appear especially worn out by his parents’ argument over his identity. The video’s visibly queer character puts on lipstick and endures a tense parental conflict, presumably about his sexuality, as Kacey sings uplifting lyrics like, “If you could see what I see, you'd be blinded by the colors.” Kacey, singing from an Eden-like rainbow-filled oasis, is accompanied by scenes of a young gay man and other outcasts to complement the song’s themes of self-acceptance. While it comes as no surprise that Musgraves, a known supporter of the LGBTQ community and frequent purveyor of rainbow imagery, would make some reference to queer people in a song titled “Rainbow,” the visuals of her new video comes across as an especially touching tribute to gay fans of country music. The country singer followed up her massive Grammys night - where she took home four awards, including Album of the Year for Golden Hour - by releasing a new video for the ballad, which she also performed at last night’s ceremony. The special - hosted by late-night TV’s Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon - also featured Paul McCartney ( who performed the Beatles’ “Lady Madonna”) the Rolling Stones, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder, Celine Dion, Usher, Eddie Vedder, Chris Martin, J Balvin, John Legend, Camila Cabello, Shawn Mendes, Pharrell Williams, Sam Smith, Billie Joe Armstrong, LL Cool J and many more.Gay icon and Grammy Award winner Kacey Musgraves gives a nod to her sizable LGBTQ fanbase in her new music video for "Rainbow." “I’ve also been loving seeing everyone’s rainbows in the window, it inspired me to sing this song for you,” Musgraves added.

In the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic, children worldwide have been placing drawings of rainbows in their home’s front windows to spread happiness and hope through this difficult time. “I just want to say a sincere thank you to all the people out there who are risking their lives to get everyone through this crazy time,” Musgraves said before to her performance. Kacey Musgraves performed a solo piano rendition of her Golden Hour ballad “Rainbow” during Global Citizen’s One World: Together at Home special to raise money for COVID-19 relief.
