After dropping her “Space Cowboy” video earlier this week, Kacey Musgraves wasted no time giving us her “Butterflies” video on May 4. Shot in Mexico City by “Space Cowboy” director Courtney Phillips, the “Butterflies” video flutters with the thrill of falling in love.

Both tunes are featured on Kacey’s new studio album, Golden Hour, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart after being released on March 30. Kacey became the first solo female artist to top the chart since Jessie James Decker in November 2017.

The new 13-song offering follows Kacey’s 2013 debut album, Same Trailer Different Park, and her 2015 sophomore album, Pageant Material, both of which hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. Kacey co-wrote every track on Golden Hour, and she co-produced the new album with Ian Fitchuk and Daniel Tashian.

“I had a different mindset this time, which was feeling rather than thinking—leading heart first,” says Kacey.
