Kacey Musgraves reveals if she's really quit weed for good
The 36-year-old country star sang about "getting rid" of certain habits in her 2024 track 'Deeper Well' and later said in an interview that she weed was "not for this chapter" of her life, but now she's clarified her stance.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: 'Um, I never said I don't ever partake.
'I just don't wake up and hit a gravity bong the size of my face anymore, which is what I did for a long time.
"But, hey, more power to whatever suits you.'
In her 2013 track 'Follow Your Arrow', she urged listeners to "kiss lots of boys, or kiss lots of girls", and "roll up a joint, or don't".
The song's referencing to homosexuality and cannabis sparked controversy among the country music scene's more conservative circles.
She recalled: "Oh my gosh, it was so controversial. I was told not to [release the song] and all these reasons why."
She added: "It ended up tanking — it was banned by country radio. But I would never trade that for the love and the people it brought to my world.
"I'm not going to present a watered-down version of myself to be accepted. I'll f****** shovel s*** for a living at a horse barn, and I'll be really happy. Or I'll just be a songwriter. Anyway, it ended up working out."
Last year, Kacey told The Cut that she was leaving her stoner persona behind.
She quipped: "It's not for this chapter. Maybe later, when I'm a 60-year-old lady with nothing to do and I'm just doing pottery all day, maybe. We'll see."
Meanwhile, the 'Rainbow' hitmaker also reflected on the fallout of her divorce 2020 divorce from Ruston Kelly, and subsequent romance with now-ex boyfriend Cole Shafer, which she shared a lot on Instagram.
She said: 'I don't regret living and loving as hard as I do. Whenever I'm in a relationship, I'm all f****** in.
"I think that hesitancy breeds hesitancy, and if you go in with something with one foot, it's going to fail.
'After divorce, it's like on one hand I do want to self-protect, but at the same time, if your heart is feeling open, I think you have to just show up for it. I'm still trying to figure out the balance of that.'

Sebastian Stan to star in new Frankenstein movie
Sebastian Stan is set to star in a new Frankenstein movie from Dracula director Radu Jude. The moviemaker premiered his new take on Bram Stoker's Dracula at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland on Sunday (10.08.25) and he's now revealed he's working on a revamped version of Mary Shelley's classic novel Frankenstein which will be set in Romania. He told The Hollywood Reporter: "I'm writing a film now. It's a Frankenstein film in Romania. Frankenstein in Romania, it's going to be called." Jude told the publication he pitched the idea to Stan - who was born in Romania - and he liked the idea and his plan is to have the actor play both roles of scientist Victor Frankenstein and his monster. It will follow another new version of the story - Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein - which stars Oscar Isaac as the creator and Jacob Elordi as the monster and is set to be released at the end of August. Elordi recently admitted he binge-watched all of the previous Frankenstein to help him get his version of the monster right. He told Vanity Fair magazine: "I devoured all of his monsters. At first I thought, I'll stay away from this. I want to do my own thing. And then I asked Guillermo: 'Should I watch the other Frankensteins?' And he goes: 'What the f*** do you mean?' I was like: 'Well, I don't want it to be influenced.' "He says: 'My friend, it's a movie, it can't f****** hurt you.' I went home and I just binged them." Andrew Garfield had previously been hired to play the role but he was forced to exit the project because of delays from the 2023 Hollywood strikes - and Del Toro is thankful to Elordi for stepping in at such short notice. He added to the publication: "Andrew Garfield stepping out and Jacob coming in. I mean, it was like Jacob is the most perfect actor for the creature. "And we have a supernaturally good connection. It's like, very few words. Very few things I have to say, and he does it ... "We recast, and we had nine weeks. You can't be under more pressure than that."
