Singer returns to children’s show with ode to “All the Colors of the World”

Kacey Musgraves returned to Sesame Street on Thursday’s episode to join the monsters in a song about “All the Colors of the World.”

Musgraves, who previously appeared on the pilot episode of Elmo’s The Not-Too-Late Show in 2020 to perform “Rubber Duckie,” reunited with the furry red monster and his friends to sing about her favorite color. However, appropriately for the “Rainbow” singer, she was unable to choose just one, instead delivering a song that touches on the entire color spectrum.

Musgraves is the latest pop star to appear on this season of Sesame Street, following Billie Eilish, who recently stopped by to rework her hit “Happier Than Ever” alongside the Count. Upcoming Season 52 guests include Naomi Osaka, Anderson .Paak, Amanda Gorman, and Keke Palmer.

Sesame Street’s Season 52 airs a new episode every Thursday on HBO Max and weekly on PBS Kids next fall.

Musgraves has recently performed her own Star-Crossed tunes on Saturday Night Live and The Late Show. Her new album was subsequently deemed not country enough for the Grammys.

VIBE celebrates '106' with a countdown of the videos retired from The Countdown.

106 & Park was a cultural moment celebrating the best, brightest stars of Hip-Hop and R&B.

Kicking things off in 2000, the show was hosted by personalities A.J. Calloway and Marie “Free” Wright, with the intent to recognize the most popular music and music videos at the time. And while the show added bits like Wild Out Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, and Freestyle Fridays, the true star of the show was the countdown, where fans enjoyed the art of the music video, all curated by them. Fans would vote for the chance to include their favorite artist’s latest releases on the coveted Top 10 Countdown.

Some videos were so beloved, that they wound up having to be placed on the 106 & Park Video Hall of Fame, where the music video would be “retired” after appearing on the countdown list 65 times—a true testament to the power of fandom and the impact that some of these visuals had on the culture. As BET issues yet another tease of a potential 106 & Park reboot for its 25th Anniversary, VIBE thought it would be great to walk you through the music videos that had the honor of being retired and placed into the show’s Hall of Fame. Watch the videos below.
