With both musicians being individual stars, as well as their shared fame in Boygenius, Dacus is wary of parasocial relationships and is keeping her relationship with Baker mostly private: “It only takes a handful to make your life feel like a really easily threatened thing.

I’ve been practicing not reinforcing that narrative to myself.”However, Dacus isn’t shying away from tapping into her love life on her upcoming album: “It’s been interesting, because I want to protect what is precious in my life, but also to be honest, and make art that’s true.”“I think maybe a part of it is just trusting that it’s not at risk,” she went on to say, addressing a particular song that heavily references their relationship. “Maybe a healthier way to think about it is that it’s not actually fragile.

These songs are about different people. But, you know, ‘Most Wanted Man in West Tennessee’—what are you gonna do?”Lucy Dacus’ fourth studio album ‘Forever Is A Feeling’ is set for release on March 28 via Polydor/Geffen (pre-order/pre-save here).
