When Jessie James Decker shared a steamy bikini photo to Instagram earlier this week, she included a disclaimer within the caption, letting her followers know the photo wasn’t meant to be a “thirst trap.”
The singer/songwriter instead used the photo to share a story about her recent girls’ trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and reveal how she and her girlfriends had an impromptu photoshoot in an effort to empower each other.

“When you see this photo you may see thirst trap, but what I see is 10 women behind it hyping it up in Cabo,” she wrote. “We all took turns taking sexy photos of each other on the beach for fun and it made me smile so much to see all of us girls cheering each other on!”
She went on to recall the way they encouraged each other to let their guard down in the photos by encouraging each other to step outside their comfort zones.
“‘Turn your hips this way, turn your neck that way, oh yes girl you look amazing that’s hot!,’” she recalled. “That’s what’s its all about! Women supporting women❤️ missing my Cabo crew today! So much fun and a lot of hot photos of bad ass girls!”

Decker’s post raked in thousands of likes and also caught the attention of a few fellow country artists.
“You look incredible, Jessie,” wrote Maren Morris, while Hannah Ellis commented, “A babe,” and Abby Anderson simply shared, “I love.”
Fans raved over the empowering message behind the post.
“Queens fix each other’s crowns plain and simple,” one Instagram user shared.
Anther wrote, “But really, nothing better than the hype girl crew. What it’s all about.”

The mother of three’s Cabo trip was certainly one for the books. She previously documented nights out with her crew, day trips on yachts and several bikini photos showing off her slim and toned figure.
Upon returning to the states, the singer/songwriter and entrepreneur dove back into work and mom life as she’s continued to support her new seven-track EP, The Woman I’ve Become.
The project, which was introduced with the feisty breakup anthem, “Should Have Known Better,” is near and dear to Decker’s heart.
“I have been waiting to figure out new music since 2017. I feel like it is the most vulnerable I have ever been before. So, I’m really excited for everyone to hear that side of my songwriting,” she recently told Country Now of the EP. “I have always written songs that were so true to myself in every scenario. From being in love or feeling like I wanted it to be super empowering to women.”
Now, with the project available everywhere, Decker is preparing to bring her music on the road with the launch of her The Woman I’ve Become Tour in early 2022.
Kicking off in April, the trek features rising star Adam Doleac and will make stops around the U.S. through early June.
