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.

Aesop Rock raps like not many others can and he's asking outsiders to "Send Help" for those that can't on his latest single. Well, he's not actually doing that, but he's definitely lyrically stunting on everyone on it. It's the second offering from his next thematic adventure, Black Hole Superette.
It's due out on May 30 and will try to successfully follow up on his 2023 masterclass that is Integrated Tech Solutions. This will then end his longest drought of not dropping a project in nearly a decade. From 2016 until 2019 was the length of that gap. However, he did make a soundtrack all by himself in 2017 for the film Bushwick.
The other track that Aesop Rock treated us to was "Checkers" back in early April. Black Hole Superette "delves into the invisible forces that shape our lives and psyches. It’s about the small, often overlooked moments—the everyday experiences that blur the lines between the real and the unreal, waking and sleeping."
If there's anyone who can make the mundane feel interesting and intricate, it's Aesop Rock. But as we alluded to earlier, "Send Help" feels more like one big rhyme flex. But it's done with needlepoint precision. "Pigeon on my shoulder like a goth Rio / The putdown Picasso here to un-massage the ego / I'm friend or foe depending on the content in your keynote / And not above the lobbing of a rotten tomatillo." Spin it below.
Quotable Lyrics:
Whodunnits and cozy mysteries, who stole the crypt keys
Who showed the minions to the minced meat, it was me
Hut-hut, helmet off, blitz the whole bitstream
Override the A/V in, with A/V out the in-between
IV in, one of Epi, onе of Ralph Steadman
Phoebe Judgе, EPMD, The Amazing Kreskin
