Kacey Musgravesmay be one of the world’s most popular artists, but apparently, not everyone knows who she is — and for Musgraves’new beau Cole Schafer, that was exactly what helped win her over.
The “Star-Crossed” singer, 33, revealed in a new interview withThe New York Timesthat she and Schafer met for the first time after locking eyes in a crowded restaurant, in trueRomeo and Julietfashion.
“He did not know who I was, which I loved,” Musgraves told the outlet.
The six-time Grammy winner was first spotted with Schafer in Juneon the streets of New York, and he all but confirmed their relationship earlier this month with a sweet Instagram tribute in honor of Musgraves' 33rd birthday.
“Here’s to you looking to your right when you stepped into F***. Here’s to you writing me back,” he wrote. “Here’s to your jawline that chaps my lips and your hair I can’t keep my hands out of.”
He continued: “Here’s to your aesthetic and your art being a close second to your heart. Here’s to making it through thirty-two and here’s to you making history in thirty-three. It’s been so damn pretty falling for you, Kacey.”
