The photo was edited to make Kacey appear like she was wearing a glittering bra while sparkling tears streamed down her face.
On her back was a pair of wings, likely a nod to Musgrave’s song Butterflies.
It seemed like Kacey was still on good terms with her ex, who took to the comment section to post a flexed arm emoji with an orange heart.
She did not respond, however.

‘We believe that we were put into each other’s lives for a divine reason and have both changed each other infinitely for the better. The love we have for each other goes far beyond the relationship we’ve shared as husband and wife. It’s a soul connection that can never be erased.’
‘We’ve made this painful decision together — a healthy decision that comes after a very long period of trying the best we can. It simply just didn’t work. Though we are parting ways in marriage, we will remain true friends for the rest of our lives.’
The couple concluded: ‘We hold no blame, anger, or contempt for each other and we ask for privacy and positive wishes for us both as we learn how to navigate through this.’
Kacey and Ruston first met in 2016 at the famous Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, where they were both attending a songwriters’ showcase. They got hitched just a year later.
