The artist explains the concept, describing it as “even if your heart and you wish it were not so”, is the inevitable reality of the situation. This applies even to the dissolution of their marriage, with Kacey explaining that he decided to part ways with Ruston because “it just didn’t work out”.
“It is nothing more than that,” she continues. “They are two people who love each other so much, but for so many reasons, it just didn’t work. I mean, the seasons change. Our season has changed.”
And no, she just didn’t give up on their relationship. Although Kacey says Rolling Stone she always got tired of the concept of marriage, she says she was “open to it” and “hugged” while she was with Ruston. Now that it’s over, she reflects, “I just need to tell myself that I was brave to follow those feelings.”
