Kacey Musgraves Brings the Heat in Steamy “Mexico Honey” Music Video
Kacey Musgraves has released the music video for "Mexico Honey," a fan-favourite track from her latest album, Middle of Nowhere. The video follows Musgraves on a romance-tinged adventure with a mysterious man, featuring a car journey, an intimate hotel-room scene and a flirtatious club encounter, and includes a moment in which she appears nude with her back to the camera. The release continues to build interest around the album, which Musgraves has said draws heavily on Mexican musical and cultural influences.
Musgraves previously told MuchMusic that the song stemmed from a personal, almost "cosmic" experience that ended a creative dry spell. She has also spoken about how Middle of Nowhere blends country music with regional Mexican sounds and instrumentation, citing shared roots between mariachi and traditional Western music, particularly reflecting Texas's cultural heritage. With the album now out, Musgraves is preparing for a North American tour beginning in Chicago and taking in New York, Nashville, Austin and Los Angeles, before concluding with back-to-back shows in Seattle in October.

Explained simply
Kacey Musgraves is an American country music artist known for blending country with other musical styles. Her latest album, Middle of Nowhere, marks a significant creative turn as she has incorporated Mexican musical and cultural influences throughout its sound.
The album weaves together country music with regional Mexican styles, drawing on shared musical traditions between mariachi and Western music—a particularly meaningful blend given Musgraves's connection to Texas. According to the artist, the project stemmed from a personal experience that helped overcome a period of creative difficulty.
Country and Mexican musical traditions share roots in storytelling and instrumentation that have deep historical connections, particularly in Texas, where both traditions have long coexisted and influenced one another.
