Kacey Musgraves Tips Her Cowgirl Hat To George Strait With Cover Of His Classic Hit, “All My Ex’s Live In Texas”

HERE for it. Last night, Kacey Musgraves headlined The Big Night, which is a fundraiser put on by Fort Worth-based charitable initiative The Big Good which was founded in 2020 by Grammy-winning musician Leon Bridges and former TCU head football coach Gary Patterson. And seeing as the event took place in Fort Worth, Texas, Kacey did a performance of George Strait’s “All My Ex’s Live in Texas,” which is of course one of his signature songs and a country classic written by Sanger D. Shafer and Lyndia J. Shafer. It was released in April of 1987 as the second single from Strait’s seventh studio album, Ocean Front Property, following the album’s title track. It would go onto become Strait’s 11th number one hit single, and he received his first Grammy Award nomination for “All My Ex’s Live In Texas” for Best Male Country Vocal Performance at the 1988 Grammy Awards. I think it’s one a lot of non-country music fans think of when they hear the name George Strait, and for good reason, because he might not have a catchier song in his vast and iconic catalog honestly. Kacey is a Texas girl through and through, and I’m sure her home state crowd was absolutely loving every minute of this one. Her live vocals are stunning per the usual too: Kacey Musgraves covers “All My Exes Live in Texas” tonight in Fort Worth TX at The Big Good event. @KaceyMusgraves pic.twitter.com/jUo1PSVeK5 — Kacey Musgraves México (@spaceykaceymx) April 10, 2026 Here’s another angle: just a little George Strait pic.twitter.com/Fc0dn1SmsI — ★ Kacey Musgraves HQ ★ (@MusgravesHQ) April 10, 2026 Musgraves was also joined by Bridges, a fellow Texas native, to sing her song “Lonely Millionaire”: Kacey Musgraves and Leon Bridges performing “Lonely Millionaire” last night in Fort Worth, TX @KaceyMusgraves pic.twitter.com/0HS2mtXlmG — Kacey Musgraves México (@spaceykaceymx) April 10, 2026 Of course, she treated the crowd to fan-favorites like “Butterflies” too: Butterflies @KaceyMusgraves in Forth Worth tonight pic.twitter.com/QKUogTLlkz — Kacey Musgraves México (@spaceykaceymx) April 10, 2026 Kacey is gearing up to release her sixth studio album Middle of Nowhere on May 1st, which was produced by Kacey alongside longtime collaborators Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk.
