    Think of Kacey Musgraves, and you'll think of her long, shiny, jet-black hair. The star has maintained her signature dark look for nearly five years—until now: The 31-year-old singer just traded in her dark strands for a lighter summery shade. Musgraves posted a series of selfies to her Instagram Story to give fans a peek at her new look. The star showed off her freshly dyed and highlighted soft brown layers and face-framing bangs with the caption, "Lighten up buttercup."

    The soft brown shade complements Musgraves' hazel-brown eyes. Her hair transformation came courtesy by her longtime hairstylist Giovanni Delgado: "@giovannidelgado-El Maestro del Estilo," Musgraves captioned another selfie (which translates to "The Master of Style"). Along with her new hair, Musgraves lightened her brows to match the soft brown 'do.
