Kacey Musgraves stunned fans by posting an explicit question on X Monday.
“Is it possible to die of horniness?” the country music singer, 36, wrote. “Asking for a friend.”
Since posing the provocative question, the “Deeper Well” songstress’ post has amassed over 5 million views, 54,000 likes and 5,000 reposts. Fans also rushed to the comments to react, with some questioning the singer’s judgment.
“Girl, did you forget to switch accounts?” a “Wicked” fan account queried, along with a GIF of Ariana Grande with a confused expression.
“No, I’m still alive,” responded another X user, while a third quipped, “Yes. Your friend will most certainly die.”
“I don’t think so cuz I would have been dead a loooong time ago,” joked another.
One person even offered a helpful suggestion, writing, “Scientifically, no, you can’t die from horniness, it’s more of an intense feeling than a medical condition. But it can sure feel overwhelming. Maybe tell your friend to take a cold shower or distract themselves with a good hobby.”
While it’s unclear whether Musgraves is currently single, she was most recently linked to poet Cole Schafer. They began dating in 2021 but cut ties in late 2023.
“He did not know who I was, which I loved,” she once told the New York Times of meeting the writer for the first time.
Prior to her romance with Schafer, the “Follow Your Arrow” beauty was married to fellow musician Ruston Kelly from 2017 until their 2020 divorce.
The Texas born singer-songwriter admitted in a 2021 interview with Elle that she’d become disillusioned by her marriage to Kelly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Why did I make these decisions?” she said she began to wonder. “How did I get here? How can I prevent myself from getting there again? Why do I keep choosing the same kind of people?”
“I felt, in many ways, on top of the world in my career,” the country icon added, “but in my personal life, I felt like I was dying inside. I was crumbling. I was sad. I felt lonely. I felt broken.”
The “Slow Burn” singer said in an on-camera interview with People later that year that due to a disappointing experience with post-divorce dating, she’s proceeding with caution.
“We live in this hookup culture, and I’m for it,” she said at the time. “I’m for whatever it makes you feel happy, as long as it’s safe, doesn’t hurt other people, fine. But I’ve just never experienced that, the dating app culture and all that.”
“I mean, I’m not going to,” she continued. “But, what I’m saying is, it was just shocking. It was a little shocking. It was surprising. And it made me just think that we all have flaws.”
