Kacey recalled the time they got to know each other, fondly remembering it as a “big opening of heart.” “Everything was right. I didn’t have to shift any part of my personality to make it fit together. Which isn’t really something I’ve had before.”

Kacey confessed that she couldn’t have created her Grammy-winning record, Golden Hour without being inspired by Ruston. “I started to see the world in a more fond, pretty light,” she said. “After meeting this person who really allows me to just be myself. Not have to walk on eggshells for any reason. Songs started pouring out.”

“If I wouldn’t have blocked off time to get off the road and try to create a new album. Have the time to explore creatively, it makes me wonder if I would have met him. It was perfect timing.”
