50 free Kacey Musgraves trivia questions with answers — music quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Kacey Musgraves trivia quiz covers the East Texas girl who won yodelling championships, sang the national anthem at the Winter Olympics as a teenager, played Hannah Montana at birthday parties to pay rent, and then rewrote what mainstream country was allowed to talk about. The easy questions cover the landmarks: her hometown, her debut single, the album that swept its four Grammy categories, and the Zach Bryan duet that gave her a Hot 100 No. 1. From there the quiz moves through Pageant Material, the Christmas records, Star-Crossed and Deeper Well. The harder half is for the fans who own the Triple Pop EP: the guitar teacher she shared with Miranda Lambert, the duo Texas Two Bits, the season of Nashville Star, the Frozen II end-credits song, the Flaming Lips collaboration, the Met Gala Barbie look and 2026's Middle of Nowhere. Nothing here quotes a lyric; the questions are about the woman, the records and the stories. Every answer was checked against Kacey Musgraves' encyclopaedia entry before publishing.
