“Oh, To Be That Mud” – Fans React To Kacey Musgraves Baring It All In “The Architect” Music Video Teaser
Baring it all.
It looks like Kacey Musgraves is going au naturel in the music video for her song "The Architect," which she shared a teaser of on her social media accounts a little while ago.
You see shots of some beautiful landscapes and nature, as well as several of Kacey sans clothing, covered completely in mud laying on the ground. I mean, she looks absolutely stunning, there's no arguing that:

“The Architect” was the immediate standout for me on Kacey’s Deeper Well album that was released in March, and was written by Kacey along with Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne, who are her co-writers on her hit single and all-around incredible song, “Merry Go ‘Round.”
It’s an absolute stunner, which finds Kacey tackling some deep subject matter in terms of the universe and how we all got here, where she marvels at simple creations. She questions whether everything in life was meticulously designed by God, wanting to see the “blueprints and plans” for everything because of how beautiful and confusing it can all be.
In the lyrics, she mentions being "shapeable clay," so I'm sure that's where the idea to lay in the mud came from:
"Sometimes I look in the mirror
And wish I could make a request
Could I pray it away? Am I shapeable clay
Or is this as good as it gets?"
And as you might expect, there's already tons of comments, mostly from women, actually, gawking at how amazing she looks in just the quick clip we've seen so far:
"HELLO??!?!!??"
"Oh to be that mud…."
"Her body tea."
"Mud is my favorite."
"All hail."
"Mossgrave’s final form…..mudgraves."
"OKAY WOWWWWWWW."
"Merry Christmas to US"
"What we all want for 2025 is whatever this is."
"Making more space for this AHHHHH."
"You better lay in that clay."
"The Menards employee just asked if I was okay because I may have audibly screamed!!! Keep deepening that well."
"I love nature."
"CAN I SPEAK TO THE ARCHITECT??"
"Well just deepened EXPONENTIALLY."
This looks like your breast video. I mean breast, sorry. I meant breast. Sorry I meant -

It actually should be illegal to just casually drop this on a Tuesday afternoon.

The music video will be out everywhere tomorrow at 11AM CST, and I'm just glad to see the song getting the attention it deserves... but it's not the first time we've seen Kacey in her birthday suit before.
When she was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live in 2021, Kacey channeled her inner Jenny Gump for a performance of "Justified," performing completely naked aside from having her guitar there to cover the parts not appropriate for TV:

Kacey recently delivered a gorgeous performance of "The Architect" at the CMA Awards a couple weeks ago you can watch here:
