Kacey Musgraves Opens Up About Past Conflict With Miranda Lambert, Details Surprising Collaboration on New Album

Kacey Musgraves is shedding light on longstanding tensions with Miranda Lambert, who features on her new record.

The 37-year-old artist behind the hit "Dry Spell" sat down for a candid conversation with Variety, now available in print.

During the interview, Musgraves characterized her relationship with the 42-year-old country vocalist as involving "grade A" beef. She walked through the circumstances that eventually led to their collaboration on a track from her forthcoming album, Middle of Nowhere. The conversation also touched on broader topics including abstinence, Willie Nelson, and what her grandmother thought about some of the more provocative moments in her lyrics.

The two artists' joint appearance on the new record marks a notable development given their previously contentious history in the country music sphere.
