We do too, Kacey.
- Golden Hour was meant to be an “emo country” album.
In addition to wanting to make 2018’s Golden Hour the emo/country crossover of a lifetime, she also says that girls who are also in their “emo phase” should channel their energy and not just get rid of it. “I went through this little phase when I was like 14 and 15, and I was really angry, and I just got all my emotions out in song, and I chopped my hair off,” she says. “I kind of want to bring it back a little bit.”
- She went through a scene phase in high school.
The flat-ironed, side-swept bangs say it all.
