Kacey Musgraves won four Grammys in 2019 with her third album, Golden Hour, including Album of the Year. Today, she delivers her hotly anticipated follow-up album, star-crossed. The 15-track project includes recent singles like “justified” and the title track and is heavily inspired by her divorce from singer Ruston Kelly.
“The word tragedy just popped into my mind. And I was like, ‘Whoa, what if the album was formulated like a modern Shakespearean or Greek tragedy?’” she told Elle about the project, noting that it was inspired by years where—despite her career success—she felt “like I was dying inside.” “I was crumbling,” she added. “I was sad. I felt lonely. I felt broken.”
