It has been argued that a self-interacting massive vector field is pathological due to a dynamical formation of a singular effective metric of the vector field, which is the onset of a gradient or ghost instability. We discuss that this singularity formation is not necessarily a fundamental problem but a breakdown of the effective field theory (EFT) description of the massive vector field. By using a model of ultraviolet (UV) completion of the massive vector field, we demonstrate that a Proca star, a self-gravitating condensate of the vector field, continues to exist even after the EFT suffers from a gradient instability without any pathology at UV, in which the EFT description is still valid and the gradient instability in EFT may be interpreted as a standard dynamical instability of a high-density boson star from the UV perspective. On the other hand, we find that the EFT description is broken before the ghost instability appears. This suggests that a heavy degree of freedom may be spontaneously excited to cure the pathology of the EFT as the EFT dynamically tends to approach the onset of the ghost instability.
