In a haunting series of Instagram Stories, she cried and grieved for her dad, telling fans that her father and grandparents had lived in Taos, but had since passed away.
She recalled driving the same roads with her dad and sister as a kid, and the time some cows appeared on the road. Her dad hit one, but told the girls it was just a cow guard.
As she was driving on Wednesday, Kylie had an encounter that reminded her of her dad.
“I started getting really sad and then all of a sudden these random cows showed up in the middle of the road… these cows appeared out of nowhere.”
She ended the story, saying, “We grieve in different ways.”
