Kacey Musgraves Hologram On Jimmy Kimmel Live

Musgrave’s enormous hair was trending on Twitter throughout the awards, something Jimmy Kimmel informed the singer when she appeared – in hologram form – on Jimmy Kimmel Live following the awards show.

“It’s full of secrets,” Musgraves jokingly told Kimmel as he pretended to stroke her hair.

Musgraves also revealed to Kimmel that she was forced to perform her duet with Lynn without her underwear after a slight wardrobe malfunction. “Right before I performed, my panties totally came off. They were the stick-on kind…I had to rip them off – my whole band saw me – and I had to throw ‘em to the side, and then out she comes,” Musgraves said.

On the red carpet, Musgraves revealed that she considers herself a big fan of the ‘big hair’ look, saying, “I’m such a fan of the ‘60s – hair and makeup, aesthetically, all of that. And I’m from Texas, totally big hair. I might as well be waving the Texas flag,” she told People on the red carpet.

On Thursday, Musgraves defended her flair for big hair on Twitter and Instagram, posting a photo of fellow big-hair fan Dolly Parton, and a quote from the country singer that reads “If anyone tells you your hair is too big, get rid of them. You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life.”
