The Title Track From Kacey Musgraves’s Sophomore Album Pageant Material Uses The Idea Of Pageant Competitions To Humorously Recall Musgraves’s Experiences Growing Up In The South Not Fitting In With The How Young Southern Girls Were Expected To Act. In A More Literal Interpretation It Also Connects To Musgraves’s Early Days On Stage Looking Like A “dime Store Cowgirl” In A Kids' Band Encountering Stage Moms And Their Spotlight-Groomed Children.
