Well that was a shocker! Kacey Musgraves kicked off the concert portion of the 2019 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo by not only performing on a horse for her finale but also kicked off her set with a beautiful cover of Selena Quintanilla-Pérez‘s “Como La Flor”.
The 30-year-old country star, whose Golden Hour album won Album of the Year at the 2019 Grammy Awards, got plenty of love on social media for her cover and even Selena’s sister Suzette Quintanilla thanked the singer on Instagram.
“Awww this makes me wanna shed a tear! Takes me back,” she wrote. “A Big Big Thank you @spaceykacey for the love at the Houston Rodeo tonite with that SELENA Y LOS DINOS Jam!”
Check out how fans reacted to the performance.

On Sunday, she spoke with Keltie Knight of ET at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party and was exited about performing the song in front of the more than appreciative RodeoHouston audience.
“I’m about to go to Texas and open the Houston Rodeo, and in my home state that’s a big deal,” she shared. “That was where Selena had her last concert. My whole family will be there, that’s gonna be really fun.”
