Two-time Grammy Award-winner Kacey
Musgraves performed at Saturday's GLAAD Media Awards in New York
City.
Musgraves is the first country music
star to perform at the annual event, now in its 25th year.
The 25-year-old Musgraves performed her
hit single Follow Your Arrow, in which she encourages fans to
“love who you love.”
“I am so proud to be here
representing country music and I just want to [say] cheers [to]
everybody in this room that follows their arrow,” Musgraves told
the crowd before performing. (The video is embedded on this page.

Musgraves' gay-inclusive single riled
Christian conservative pastor Kevin Swanson, who claimed earlier this
month that she would have faced a lynch mob for performing Follow
Your Arrow in a country bar any time between the 1880s and the
1960s.
