The song is from her fifth studio record
Kacey Musgraves reveals the music video for “The Architect” from her critically acclaimed album Deeper Well. “The Architect” music video is an earthy and majestic ode to the wonders of nature and perfectly complements the widely admired track.
Recently, the country star gave an incredible solo acoustic performance of her song “The Architect” at the 2024 CMAs. The track also received two nominations out of her total of five Grammy nods for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance. The idyllic and folkloric song was derived from Musgraves’ exploration of life’s unknowns and her contemplation about whether life is driven by a higher power or if there is a blueprint for its course, particularly in a world marked by unrest and disorder. During her recent performance at the Grammy Museum, Musgraves said she wrote this song with her friends Shane McAnally and Josh Osbourne in Nashville “around the time or a couple of weeks after the insane Covenant School Shooting that happened there, and the community was just reeling and it felt just so off and scary. And you know, we got together to write a song, and we even felt guilty just being able to meet up and write a song and get to do something so pleasant as that when something so crazy had just happened. It sparked this very real conversation about life and how it’s really confusing how there’s so much suffering– there’s also so much beauty at the same time, so it’s this great weird duality of being a human, especially in these modern times.”
Kacey has also been nominated for five 2025 Grammy Awards including Best Country Album for Deeper Well, Best Country Song for “The Architect,” Best Country Solo Performance for “The Architect,” Best Americana Performance for “Don’t Do Me Good” with Madi Diaz, and Best Engineered Album Non-Classical for Deeper Well. Musgraves is the only artist ever to receive a Grammy Award for Best Country Album, Best Country Song, Best Country Solo Performance and Best Country Duo or Group Performance. She is also the third artist to ever take home Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards, Country Music Association Awards and Academy of Country Music Awards. In addition to her seven Country Music Association Awards, Kacey has won seven Grammy Awards and four Academy of Country Music Awards.
Kacey is currently on the North American leg of her Deeper Into The Well World Tour. The tour kicked off on September 4th in State College, PA, and will run through December 7th, ending in Nashville with two sold-out shows at Bridgestone Arena.
