Kacey Musgraves is excited for the release of her fifth studio album, “Star-Crossed,” on Friday and explained in a new interview how healthy it was for her to pour her heart into crafting it.
Musgraves’ forthcoming album serves as a journal, providing listeners with snapshots of her various feelings following the breakup of her three-year marriage to fellow singer Ruston Kelly.
“Healing is not linear,” Musgraves remarked, adding, “it’s extremely up and down, it comes in waves, and you just have to cling on through it.”
Above all, Musgraves claims that writing “Star-Crossed” helped her to heal and move on from her grief.
“It sent me back to square one in terms of trying to understand myself,” she added. “I’m grateful for the chance to acknowledge the connection, appreciate the love I had, but move on and be better,” she says.
