"I never said I don't use it": Kacey Musgraves clarifies marijuana use after song lyrics spark speculation

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on April 30, 2025, Kacey Musgraves decided to clarify parts of the lyrics in her old songs. In some of her tracks, Musgraves talked about partaking in smoking weed. Netizens were curious to know if the "Happy & Sad" singer was still using marijuana now.

The lyrics in question were from her 2024 single, "Deeper Well." It is also the title of her sixth studio album, which was released in the same year. In the second verse of "Deeper Well," Musgraves sang:

"I used to wake and bake/ Roll out of bed, hit the gravity bong that I made/ And start the day/ For a while, it got me by/ Everything I did seemed better when I was high/ I don't know why"

This is not the first time Kacey has mentioned marijuana in her songs. A few other tracks where she mentioned cannabis were in "Follow Your Arrow," "Silver Lining," and "Stupid." However, Musgraves tells all during the most recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter on April 30, 2025. She clarified:

"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."

"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," Kacey said when asked about her marijuana habits.
