I guess we kind of have Katy Perry to thank for our brand new CMA Award-winning song of the year, "Follow Your Arrow." Yes. At least, if you believe what Kacey Musgraves recently revealed about her early plans for the song.
In the new CMA special issue of People magazine, Musgraves talks about how she came up with a rough chorus and melody and then took it with her to a songwriting session with Perry.
Musgraves recalled that Perry loved it but ultimately thought she should keep it for herself.
"Honestly, it sounds like something you would sing. You should keep it," Musgraves said Perry told her.
It is better for Kacey even though if Katy sang it it would probably work.
It has that "quirky pop" vibe that Katy, when executing it correctly, does well. But she hasn't done that in a while
