I thought of The Chicks IMMEDIATELY when I saw that album cover... the same sentiment... why the ugly cover when you have such amazing promo pictures? lol

Also not a fan of the cover, but love the new song and especially the fact we are getting the album so quickly!

Okay... I'm gonna pretend that alternate target cover is the actual cover lol Based on this pic, it looks like the cover isn't different for Target (note the Target sticker, which is always on the actual cover). I'm guessing, if there are no bonus songs, that other pic is a poster insert, which Target Exclusives sometimes have instead. If you look at the Target page, there are no additional songs and it says “Target exclusive includes poster” so I think you’re right. The Vinyl looks to be an exclusive color though.

I'm actually excited for this. And I haven't been excited for a new release in a long time! That title track is soooooo damn good. But is it being sent to radio? Seems like it doesn't really fit that vibe. Country radio is country radio and probably will sleep on it and look like fools like they have on nearly all of her stuff. She demonstrated on the last one that she doesn't need them. Would it be nice? Of course. But I respect how Kacey doesn't go out of her way to kiss their ass so they'll spin her like other watered down "country" artists who have built their careers on radio hits.

Wasn't "Justified" coming too? Friday was the information the insider here shared. But not sure if that’s still accurate or not. It would make sense to release an actual single (and video) to tease more of the album and the film so I hope “justified” on Friday is still the plan.

I like this strategy. It’s clearly an ALBUM and meant to be consumed at once. The less people know ahead of time, the more headlines it will make it upon release.

I hate that album cover, but YESSSS to all the other stuff. I was shocked when I saw the announcement of this being a visual album. The trailer looks really cool (Symone! Victoria Pedretti!) and Star-crossed the song is a great introduction. It's not something I'm going to add to a playlist, but I'm sure it's going to translate amazingly to the full album experience. It's haunting and dark, which is exactly what I was expecting and it works perfectly to set the tone and kick off the whole story. Can't wait!
And also, I loooooove that the trailer ends with 'Fall apart september 10'. She knows her audience.

Alt cover reminds me of Margo Price's latest album cover.

Loving "Star Crossed"--sonically it's everything I would want from an intro to this album.

The visuals and star-crossed aren't serving me any kind of country - so I am definitely curious to hear what she's been cooking.

"Justified" is the lead radio single of the album, impacting AAA on 9/13.

That cover has a weird 80s teen slasher flick quality to me and I hope that font isn’t serious with the sword. Kacey knows subtext is better served with divorce albums. I love the elegantly desecrated altar photos though. I agree with all the interlude comments on song one so I’m eagerly preparing for Friday.

This is the press release in case any of you wanted to see and/or read it. It's interesting to see, though, that they're calling star-crossed as her fourth album instead of her fifth. KACEY MUSGRAVES RETURNS WITH HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FOURTH STUDIO ALBUM: star-crossed
ALBUM AND FILM OUT SEPTEMBER 10star-crossed: the film TO BE RELEASED EXCLUSIVELY ON PARAMOUNT+
"star-crossed," TITLE TRACK AND FILM TRAILER BOTH OUT NOW Six-time Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves will release her highly anticipated fourth studio album star-crossed on September 10 via Interscope Records / UMG Nashville. star-crossed: the film, directed by Bardia Zeinali, stars Musgraves and will be streamed exclusively via Paramount+ on the same day. The title track, written by Musgraves, Daniel Tashian, and Ian Fitchuk, along with the film's trailer are both out now. star-crossed is the first album of new material from Musgraves since releasing her groundbreaking and critically acclaimed album Golden Hour in 2018. Check out title track "star-crossed," here and check out star-crossed: the film trailer here. star-crossed, the album, found Musgraves collaborating once again with co-producers and writers Ian Fitchuk and Daniel Tashian and was recorded in Nashville, TN earlier this year in just under 3 weeks. The 15-song collection, structured as a modern-day tragedy in three acts, tells an extremely personal journey of heartache and healing and displays Musgraves continued growth as one of the finest singer-songwriters of our time. Pre-order the album here. star-crossed: the film takes the music from the studio to the screen with gorgeous visuals and a sense of heightened reality envisioned by Musgraves and Zeinali and shot by Academy Award-nominated cinematographer Matthew Libatique ( A Star Is Born, Black Swan). "We wanted it to feel cinematic and epic without compromising the heart and the emotion," Zeinali says, "to feel fantastical and heightened and tell her story through the lens of art and fashion." The 50-minute movie was filmed over a 10-day shoot in Los Angeles and features cameos from Emmy Award-winner Eugene Levy, Victoria Pedretti (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, You), singer-songwriter Princess Nokia, Symone (RuPaul's Drag Race winner) and comedian Megan Stalter. The global premiere of Kacey Musgraves' star-crossed: the film will exclusively debut on Paramount+ in the US, Latin America, Australia, the Nordics and Canada beginning on Friday, September 10. Fans outside of these markets can watch on MTV across its worldwide network of channels in nearly 180 regions. star-crossed: the film is presented by Interscope Films and is an Anonymous Content Production in association with UMG Nashville, Sandbox Entertainment and Golden Girl Productions. star-crossed track listing:1. "star-crossed" 2. "good wife" 3. "cherry blossom" 4. "simple times" 5. "if this was a movie.." 6. "justified" 7. "angel" 8. "breadwinner" 9. "camera roll" 10. "easier said" 11. "hookup scene" 12. "keep lookin' up" 13. "what doesn't kill me" 14. "there is a light" 15. "gracias a la vida"

Same Trailer Different Park (2013) Pageant Material (2015) Golden Hour (2018) star-crossed (2021)I'm aware of this, but as it was mentioned above, there's some debate if A Very Kacey Christmas should be considered as a studio album or not, hence of the conflict. I personally don't, but there are others who do.
