She’s more than just a little justified; she’s CMT nominated. In addition to earning Grammy Awards and nominations for her original music, Musgraves snagged recognition at the 2022 CMT Awards — a fan-voted awards show for country music videos and television performances.
That was for her single “Justified” off of the 2021 release, Star-Crossed. The music video earned millions of YouTube views, and praise from fans worldwide.
Musgraves is nominated in the Best Female Music Video category along with Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Tenille Arts, Mickey Guyton, and Gabby Barrett. Miranda Lambert is also up for Female Video of the Year, marking yet another nomination in this category for the “Mama’s Broken Heart” vocalist.
“Justified” wouldn’t be the only Musgraves music video from her Star-Crossed era. In fact, this singer released Star-Crossed: The Film in 2021, complete with a three-act structured “tragedy” available exclusively on Paramount+. Some songs and corresponding Star-Crossed clips debuted on YouTube, including the “Simple Times” video.
“Yeah, this record is inspired largely by some major life changes, but also it’s following me chronologically over the last probably two-and-a-half, three years since Golden Hour came out,” Musgraves said during an interview with NPR. “It’s kind of picking up where I left off there.”
