- Miranda Lambert joined Kacey Musgraves onstage Wednesday at her Middle of Nowhere tour stop in Austin, Texas, performing "Horses and Divorces" from Musgraves' album of the same name.
- Lambert told Rolling Stone the supposed "beef" between them came from an industry that pits women against one another, saying artists "need to do this together" as they age and "the fire calms down."
- Lambert released her new album Crisco on Oct. 2 and has produced Ella Langley's Dandelion album, while Musgraves recently lent vocals to Megan Moroney's "Bells & Whistles."
- Musgraves released a Spanish version of her Texas radio hit "Uncertain, TX" with Intocable and has three more home-state tour dates ahead in Austin and Dallas.
- Lambert said she and Musgraves no longer "really care or know what [the beef] was about anymore" — adding that having a "muse" to channel the tension produced a "badass" song.
Why it matters: This performance publicly mends a rumored rivalry between two of country's biggest female stars. Lambert casts the reunion as a deliberate rejection of the industry pattern that pits women against each other, backing it up with production work on Ella Langley's Dandelion and Musgraves contributing vocals to Megan Moroney's "Bells & Whistles."
