Kacey Musgraves Discusses Her Humble Beginnings With Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon recently launched her first unscripted series, Shine On With Reesewhich highlights women who have created their own unique paths to success, and on Monday (August 20), PEOPLE shared a peek into her candid conversation with Kacey Musgraves.

During their chat, the Golden Hour singer talks about her career's humble beginnings — before winning two Grammys, touring with Harry Styles and headlining her own extensive tours — when she was peddling her demo all over Nashville.

“My little sister took my photo and my mom helped me put this little demo CD together and I had a really chubby face,” the country star recalls. “I just took it around to all these publishing companies and I was like, ‘Hey, I’m a new voice in town. If you need a demo singer, I need the cash. I can sing my own harmonies and also these are songs I wrote.’ So I was killing two birds with one stone.”

It took the now 29-year-old five years to get her bearings and pay her dues in the Music City, but it all paid off.

“I was a songwriter first before being an artist so about a year after being in town was when I got to write for a job. And then I wrote for three years every single day with different people,” she explains. “It is very intimidating but also because it’s so intimidating and because there are so many people that are in line wanting to do what you want to do, you have no excuse not to be unique and as good as you can be."
