Warner Chappell Music (WCM) Nashville has extended its global publishing deal with Kacey Musgraves, the eight-time GRAMMY-winning artist known for redefining country music with her genre-crossing sound and sharp songwriting.
“Warner Chappell has been a wonderful longstanding home for my songs and I’m so grateful for the continuation into a future I’m so excited about,” Musgraves said in a statement.

The renewed agreement follows a milestone year for Musgraves. Her latest album, Deeper Well (2024), became her fifth consecutive No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart. It features the GRAMMY-winning single “The Architect,” which earned Best Country Song at the 2025 awards. She was also honored with the Songwriter Icon Award at the National Music Publishers’ Association’s annual meeting.
Phil May, General Manager of WCM Nashville, reflected on Musgraves’ long-standing relationship with the company.
“Kacey has been a valuable part of our Warner Chappell family here in Nashville for a long time, and we’re proud to continue championing her artistry and songs,” he said. “She joined WCM shortly after I did, and I was fortunate to be a part of her first deal with us. It’s been an honor to watch her career growth over the years, and we’re very excited to see what the future holds for her as she continues to raise the bar as both a songwriter and artist.”
WCM Co-Chair and CEO Guy Moot and Co-Chair and COO Carianne Marshall added: “Kacey is an exceptionally gifted songwriter who has been a powerful voice in country music from the start, and we’re looking forward to helping shape this next chapter.”
A Texas native, Musgraves began songwriting at age eight. Her breakthrough came with 2013’s Same Trailer Different Park. She has since won every GRAMMY country category and continues to be recognized as one of the most influential voices in modern country music.
