If I were “somewhere in the middle of nowhere”—as singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves puts it—I’d definitely want a solid water bottle to keep me hydrated. My first preference? A Stanley tumbler, of course. Not only is Stanley 1913 a Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Lab favorite (and a personal go-to), but the brand also just collaborated with Kacey to design the cutest country-chic water bottles I’ve ever seen.
SHOP KACEY MUSGRAVES X STANLEY
The Stanley x Kacey Musgraves collaboration—which will be available to purchase on the brand’s website today at 12 p.m. EST—perfectly honors the songstress’s Texas roots, thanks to the cowhide design plastered across every item in the four-part collection.
Each cup in the series (the Quencher ProTour Flip Straw Tumbler and the Everyday Suburban Mug) even includes a turquoise-embedded keychain attached to the handle with a photo of Kacey’s album cover for her newest release, Middle of Nowhere. It’s basically a two-for-one.
More Stanley finds you’ll see in the collection include the Classic Legendary Bottle and even a pet bowl, which includes a splash-proof cover that can also be used as a non-slip base, per the brand. (I’m crossing my fingers for a western-themed cat fountain, but a girl can only wish.)
In a press release from Stanley, Kacey said that it’s “been fun collaborating on a collection that reflects my personal aesthetic,” a blend of “modern and traditional.” As someone who’s been listening her music since 2013, I also see some similarities to her Same Trailer Different Park era, which also showcased nods to country both aesthetically and sonically.
Sure, I’m a lifelong fan—so I’m naturally drawn to this collab. But the fact that our Lab pros at the Good Housekeeping Institute praised Stanley’s ProTour Tumbler for its leakproof build, easy-to-sip spout, and comfortable handle would have convinced me either way.
