Kacey Musgraves and Miranda Lambert officially buried their decade-plus-old beef last night (May 5) at the former’s show in New Braunfels, Tx., when they performed their duet “Horses and Divorces” from Musgraves’ new album, Middle of Nowhere. See fan-shot footage below.

As the story goes, Musgraves long harbored resentment that a song she wrote and intended for her own debut album, “Mama’s Broken Heart,” was instead recorded by Lambert and became a huge hit. Musgraves recently admitted to Variety that she and Lambert had “grass-fed, grade-A” beef between them largely ever since, but that it felt like time to flip the script while working on Middle of Nowhere.

More from Spin:

“Well, you know, us East Texas girls gotta stick together, right, Miranda? “Is this a dream? Is this really happening?,” Musgraves said. “Tonight we bury the hatchet right here in Gruene Hall!,” Lambert declared in reply.

The highly amusing “Horses and Divorces” finds the artists realizing they have more in common than they perhaps realized, including their devotion to Willie Nelson (“what asshole doesn’t like Willie?,” they both sing rhetorically).

Musgraves’ tour in support of Middle of Nowhere begins Aug. 21 in Chicago, which just happens to be the artist’s 38th birthday, concludes with an Oct. 26-27 stand in Seattle. Midland, Flatland Cavalry, Carter Faith, Estevie, Charles Wesley Godwin, William Beckmann, Gabriella Rose and the Brudi Brothers will all open at various stops.
