Mickey Guyton can cross off meeting her "hero," Reese Witherspoon, from her bucket list. The country music singer, 39, spoke with Fox News Digital about her experience working with Witherspoon and Kacey Musgraves on the upcoming Apple TV+ series "My Kind of Country." "Listen, I love both of them. I've come up with – Kacey Musgraves, Reese Witherspoon – I mean, I grew up loving her," Guyton began.
"From ‘Fear’ to ‘Legally Blonde' … I've watched all of her movies, and I've just loved her so much, and to see her being such an amazing businesswoman that she is, using her platform to give other artists opportunities like being able to sing country music because she is from Nashville – and she loves, you know, this country so much – I just think it's so cool that we get to be a part of this with her." Guyton's co-star, Orville Peck, chimed in and said it was a "dream come true" to work with Musgraves and Witherspoon. "It's a beautiful thing to be given that trust as well," he added. Witherspoon and Musgraves executive produce the series, which debuts on Friday.
"My Kind of Country" is a competition show, with hand-picked contestants by scouts Guyton, Peck and Jimmie Allen. The series takes place in Nashville, Tennessee, and the winner will receive a "life-changing" prize on behalf of Apple Music. Guyton said that she would love a country music collaboration with Witherspoon and Musgraves.
"If you just go ahead and put that out in the energy and the world and the universe. Give me those vibes and spirit, and I am here for it. Yes, please," she told Fox News Digital.
