Kacey Musgraves and Miranda Lambert come together onstage to debut their duet “Horses and Divorces” during Musgraves’ final night of a three-show residency at Gruene Hall. Multiple outlets describe the appearance as a long-awaited reconciliation between the two Texas country artists, who had a public creative and personal rift for about a decade. Musgraves and Lambert previously clashed over music matters, with accounts noting that Musgraves co-wrote “Mama’s Broken Heart,” but Lambert released her own version and had a hit with it in 2013.
In the performances leading up to the duet’s appearance, Musgraves is promoting her album Middle of Nowhere, which includes “Horses and Divorces.” Sources present the collaboration as the outcome of the two artists putting aside their differences and working together on the new song. The duet’s live debut occurs during the last show of Musgraves’ Gruene Hall run, marking the first time audiences hear the collaboration performed in that setting.
