Kacey Musgraves will be given the honour at the 33rd Annual GLAAD Media Awards, hosted by Drag Race legends Bob the Drag Queen, Eureka O’Hara, and Shangela.

The Vanguard Award is “presented to allies who have made a significant difference in promoting acceptance of LGBTQ people”, according to GLAAD.

Previous winners include Cher, Kerry Washington, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and Janet Jackson, among others. Kacey will now join this list as a result of frequently using her platform as one of the world’s biggest country stars to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, representation and equality.

The 33-year-old has raised awareness around anti-LGBTQ+ bills in America and has platformed queer performers in her music, including a starring role from Drag Race winner Symone in her music video for Simple Times.
