In all the pics, the stars are wearing "Girl Crush" hats.

Kacey Musgraves got in on the action with a few friends.

"We Girl Crushin'.. @littlebigtown," she wrote.

Furthermore, Dierks Bentley spoke to the Huffington Post over the weekend, saying "When I heard that song, I never even thought about it being about a girl crush or a lesbian [romance]. And when I thought about it that way, I liked it even more," Bentley said.

"I have so much respect for Little Big Town and [producer] Jay Joyce ... to take chances like that and keep the genre going and moving, it requires bold artists," he added.

The song's co-writer Liz Rose also spoke to ABC News on Friday, saying that the one lyric doesn't mean the song is about two girls dating, but a girl is who is jealous of he ex-boyfriend's new woman.

"When we wrote it and it got played around town, the reaction was, 'Oh my God, this is our favorite song we've heard in a long time' and 'Thank you so much for writing such a great song,'" Rose told ABC News. "I think the negativity just came from a few places and that's what got out."
