Kacey Musgraves will release her fourth album, Golden Hour, early next year.
She says the album is a bit "trippy" with songs inspired by The Bee Gees, Neil Young and Sade.
Marrying Ruston Kelly in October has brought out another side of Kacey and she recorded the album in the studio at Sheryl Crow's farm.
Christmas at the house of Walker Hayes is simple.
He has six kids and another one on the way, so lots of gifts could get expensive. So, they usually get one big gift that everyone can enjoy.
But the best gift of all for the Hayes family is getting to spend time with the extended family.
Walker says, "We love going and seeing the inlaws, my parents, just watching them with the kids. That's my favorite, getting my kids around my parents and my siblings and just kind of letting them all be together and standing back and watching."
Walker's new album, boom, is available now.
