Kacey Musgraves Switched Up Her Signature Hair Color and Looks Incredible
The country singer looks totally different.

Think of Kacey Musgraves, and you'll think of her long, shiny, jet-black hair. The star has maintained her signature dark look for nearly five years—until now: The 31-year-old singer just traded in her dark strands for a lighter summery shade. Musgraves posted a series of selfies to her Instagram Story to give fans a peek at her new look. The star showed off her freshly dyed and highlighted soft brown layers and face-framing bangs with the caption, "Lighten up buttercup."
The soft brown shade complements Musgraves' hazel-brown eyes. Her hair transformation came courtesy by her longtime hairstylist Giovanni Delgado: "@giovannidelgado-El Maestro del Estilo," Musgraves captioned another selfie (which translates to "The Master of Style"). Along with her new hair, Musgraves lightened her brows to match the soft brown 'do.
If you've been keeping up with Musgraves throughout her career, you may recall that she has had a similar light brown highlighted look back in the early 2010s:
This new look is absolutely stunning on the artist—we can't wait to see more photos.
