Kacey Musgraves Instagram – It was 2014 and the first time I ever smoked with Willie. I was on the road opening for he and @alisonkrauss (what a fucking tour) and he had us up on his bus for some coffee and smoke before he started his set. We talked about all kinds of things.. our light-up western suits, conspiracy theories, aliens, his early job of cuttin’ trees down in East Texas, the history of hemp growth in the United States, and old songs. I asked him “Hey, do you ever play “Are You Sure”? He exhaled a big puff and blinked and said “Are you sure this is where you wanna be?”, looking surprised I knew such a deep cut then pulled his guitar from magically out of nowhere. I was officially on another planet at this point, hanging onto the fabric of time, barely able to cognize reality and form words but I managed to eek out a “yes”. He started strumming. We started singing. And he said “I’ll record this one with ya if you want..” Next thing I know we’re in Austin and filming the video. (with @reid_long @kellychristinephoto) and he’s wearing a western suit I picked out and obliging me with a tequila shot. It’s a good thing there is visual record of this moment in my life – otherwise I wouldn’t believe that it wasn’t just some hazy, sparkly, pipe dream that never actually happened.
