Kacey Musgraves performed at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo this week and treated the crowd to a surprise cover. The new GRAMMY winner, who is from Texas, added Selena Quintanilla-Pérez’s 1992 hit, “Como La Flor” to her set list. Musgraves wanted to pay tribute to Selena’s 24th anniversary of her final concert in Houston.
The cover did not go unnoticed by fans, and even Selena’s family, with her sister Suzette Quintanilla, sharing video of the performance and writing, “Awww this makes me wanna shed a tear! Takes me back,” adding, “A Big Big Thank you @spaceykacey for the love at the Houston Rodeo tonite with that SELENA Y LOS DINOS Jam!”

Kacey also wrapped her concert at Rodeo Houston in a big way. After performing her “Golden Hour” song “High Horse” she exited the stage on an actual horse.
