Kacey Musgraves gives the middle finger to the Grammy Committee for "snubbing" her

Almost a week after the Grammy Committee deemed her new album "Star-Crossed" as ineligible for the country music category, Kacey Musgraves shared some old photos on her Instagram stories. The photos included a picture of herself as a child, as well as snapshots showing her with country music icons, such as Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Ronnie Milsap, George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, Leann Womack and others. The series ended with a picture of Musgraves holding up two middle fingers.
Musgraves tagged each of the artists in her pics, and asked them directly in the captions, with messages such as "Aint that right @lorettalynnoffical?" and "Whatchu think @shaniatwain?" as well as "And what about you @dollyparton," and "Can't not ask @reba."
Only Pam Tillis, Loretta Lynn, and Brooks & Dunn reposted the stories.
This also follows recent accusations of plagiarism:
- Artist Karman Verdi pointed out the identical similarities between one of his photographs and Kacey's performance of "Camera Roll" on SNL
- Fans of the short film Marriage Material accused her of ripping off its ideas for her Good Wife music video
- Kacey was accused of unoriginality for copying the character Jenny from Forest Gump while playing the guitar nude on SNL
Poll What do you think?
