Kacey Musgraveshas been writing more and more love songs, and that’s all thanks to the love of her life, husbandRuston Kelly.
“It was the last thing I’d expected. I wasn’t gonna date,” Musgraves, 29, tells music journalist Holly Gleason in an interviewHITS Daily Doubleabout falling in love in 2016.
“I met Ruston at the start of [latest albumGolden Hour], and everything changed. People were saying, ‘You even look like a different person. You’re beaming,’ ” said the country star, whowed Kellyin October 2017 after theygot engagedon Christmas Eve.

Musgraves, who previously dated her former guitarist Misa Arriaga, also opened up about why she was hesitant to get back into the dating game.
“I lived with this fear [this person] is gonna break up with me all the time, or walking on eggshells. If you stay in it, it wears you down and makes you this thing that you’re not, trying to be what someone tells you is right,” she said. “It leaves you in a shambles, and I feel like for many years I have not really understood what love is. I built walls I didn’t know I was building, and I was in a place I didn’t understand.”
But an unexpected encounter with Kelly was the turning point in her love life.
His moving song inspired Musgraves to step out of her comfort zone and take a chance.
And their songwriting meeting actually turned into the couple’s unofficial first date.
“The second Ruston walked into my house, I felt like Dorothy when the colorized part happens inThe Wizard of Oz,” she said. “We didn’t even write a song. We just talked, and talked, and talked. He didn’t leave until like 3 a.m. It was the easiest, most natural thing in the world — and I didn’t want it to stop.”
And their romance shows no sign of slowing down.

“We made our promises to each other under the trees and then drank and danced into the night. We couldn’t have done any of it without the help of our wonderful families and amazing friends. The best kind of magic. Best day of my life,” Musgraves added.
