She looks unrecognizable – in a good way!
Country singer Kacey Musgraves took home four Grammys back in February and now, she might be taking home best dressed at the exclusive Met Gala!
The Met Gala is the annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. Every year, the theme is interpreted by celebrities and designers to create iconic and sometime infamous looks…and this year did not disappoint! The theme this year is Camp: Notes on Fashion.
A professor from Tufts University explained that “camp” basically “makes profane the things that are sacred”
At the #MetGala tonight, "camp" is on display.
What exactly is camp? https://t.co/tYxWN3FVWr

The “Rainbow” singer finished her Twitter teases with a photo of a Barbie doll, leaving fans wondering…is she channeling Barbie?!

The short answer is: YES!
Moments after her last tweet, she stepped out looking identical to the Barbie doll she had just posted. Wearing a gorgeous blonde wing, Musgraves rocked a skin-tight pink ensemble with high slit, silver stilletos, complete with a pink hairdryer purse.
Fans immediately began freaking out over how stunning she looked! She also ditched her signature dark locks for a much lighter hue, and everyone was loving it. Check out some reactions below.
