Kacey Musgraves, who finalized her divorce from Ruston Kelly in 2020, recently shared an intriguing story about a song collaboration that sprouted from an unlikely connection. She recalled spotting Miranda Lambert on Instagram, riding a horse, and thought, “Well, we’re not friends, but we sure do share two things: a love for horses and the experience of divorce. That could make for a pretty funny song. Why not turn it into a duet with her?”
With that thought in mind, Kacey decided to reach out to Miranda. “I just messaged her out of the blue,” Kacey recounted. “I was upfront, saying, ‘I know we’ve had our issues over the years, but we both have these two things in common. I’m not trying to forge a friendship, but I think writing this song with you and Shane McAnally would be hilarious.’”
Miranda, whose marriage to Blake Shelton ended in 2015, agreed to the collaboration. This marked a significant turning point for both artists. “We had a moment of resolution,” Kacey said. “We cleared the air, shared some laughs, and managed to write the song in just a few hours.”
Reflecting on the experience, Kacey noted, “This collaboration could be seen as a small-scale example of what I wish people would do more often: sit down, laugh at our differences, enjoy a beer, and just let things be.”
Plus, she noted of the experience, “It could be also a micro representation of what I wish that the world would do sometimes, just f–king sit down and poke fun at each other, have a beer and call it a day.”
E! News has reached out to a rep for Miranda for comment and has not yet heard back.
