Kacey Musgraves on Squashing Her Beef with Miranda Lambert: "I Wish The Whole World Could Sit Down And Have A Beer Together"

Kacey Musgraves has spoken to PEOPLE about her song, ‘Horses and Divorces’ and how it has helped to squash the feud between her and fellow country music star, Miranda Lambert.
“We do have things in common,” Musgraves tells interviewer Jeff Nelson, “but we are very different in ways.”
The rift dates back to the early 2010s, when Lambert released ‘Mama's Broken Heart’. Musgraves had co-written the song with Shane McAnally and Brandy Clark and had planned to include it in her debut album. She told NPR earlier this year that the song was pitched without her knowledge or consent. Lambert loved the track, asked to cut it and Musgraves - who had other co-writers to consider - agreed.
Since then, the two hadn’t considered each other friends. But Musgraves called Lambert up to bury the hatchet and release the track ‘Horses and Divorces’ together - a song that focuses on the things they do have in common.
“We can, at this point, salute each other and say, ‘Hey, we’re both at least women in country music, and cheers to that’,” Musgraves says.
The ‘Dry Spell’ singer has had a few moments in the press recently, mostly for her outspokenness during her tour. Ultimately, her message has been about finding the humanity, even when we disagree. ‘Horses and Divorces’ is Musgraves simply leading by example.
“I do wish the whole world could sit down and have a beer together and figure it out,” Musgraves tells PEOPLE. “Hell, if Miranda and I can, maybe everyone else can too.”
