Kacey Musgraves wrote her song “Butterflies” about a week after meeting her now-husband, singer-songwriter Ruston Kelly. Rarely will you find a sweet love song on one of Kacey’s albums, but “Butterflies” is a glimpse into Kacey’s heart and mind with what she was going through and feeling following their fateful meeting.

“It’s actually the first song I wrote after meeting my now-husband,” says Kacey. “Everything from the lyrics down to the production really represents this floaty, dreamy feeling that I got as soon as he came into my life. I wrote this song with Natalie Hemby and Shane McAnally back in 2016 in the Spring when I had gotten off the road and tried to get back to my creative roots of just writing again just to write and explore new ideas. I had just met Ruston, so my world had been completely flipped upside down, so this is a great sonic representation of that.”

“Butterflies” is from Kacey’s new record, Golden Hour, which also features the songs “Space Cowboy,” “High Horse” and many others.

Kacey plays the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California this weekend and has a few more dates on Little Big Town’s The Breakers Tour before heading out on the road with Harry Styles.
