Kacey Musgraves opened up about ditching the substance in a new cover story interview with 'The Cut.' The 'Space Cowboy' singer got divorced, rebounded, quit weed — plus, she's on the March 2024 cover of New York Magazine's the Cut — and shocked some fans with her latest revelation. Kacey Musgraves has given up weed, a move that surprised a percentage of her fans, but she recently revealed it's been that way for a while. For a girl who shook up the country genre over a decade ago with outright references to weed (times have really changed, huh?)
In the interview, Kacey Musgraves revealed she's done smoking marijuana for now. She shared that she was an avid fan of weed in her early 20s and even had a phase where she incorporated it into her music and public persona. However, she has since made the decision to quit and move on from that chapter of her life. Musgraves explained that she felt it was time for a change and that she wanted to focus on her music and personal growth without the influence of marijuana.
The decision to quit weed was not an easy one for Kacey Musgraves, as she had built a reputation for being open about her past drug use. However, she realized that it was important for her to prioritize her health and well-being over any external expectations or perceptions. As she sings in her new lead single, the country singer-songwriter is quitting weed and quoting Emmylou Harris. This marks a significant shift in her lifestyle and creative direction.
