We all know that the world of country music can sometimes be nothing short of a war zone. After all, everyone's in a pretty admittedly cramped space—trying to make it their own. That will always lead to some drama, after all.
And there's arguably been no bigger feud than the one between Miranda Lambert and Kacey Musgraves. In case you weren't aware (or simply forgot—after all, it's been over a decade already!), let's fill you in on the beef between the two country stars:
It all started off with the release of Lambert's "Mama's Broken Heart". You probably know the song—it went triple platinum and hit No. 2 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.
Well, Kacey Musgraves was one of the writers on that fateful song. And she apparently really wanted it—but had to reluctantly give it up to Lambert for her co-writers' sake.
And that beef has gone on for years and years and years—until now. With the release of her album Crisco, Miranda Lambert has opened up about how the two managed to reconcile.
Their first public burying of the hatchet came with their writing and duet performances of "Horses and Divorces", which came out of Kacey's sixth album, Middle of Nowhere, per Whiskey Riff.

Miranda Lambert Explained How They Quashed the Beef
One of the funniest parts of their whole making up from all of this is... they barely even remember how it all started. "I think it's important, and also it doesn't matter, really," she explained. "Like, what even was it? Some dumb girl drama? We don't even remember."
She says that they go way back, too. "And we grew up, literally, I've known her since she was 10. We grew up together, that's the thing. Very similar paths, 10 minutes away, basically same hometown."
And, while the country stars "don't have to be best friends" in her words, she still wants to foster a good working relationship. "I really want us to be there for each other as artists in general, as songwriters, as humans and especially as female artists. There's just a lot more that goes into it, and [...] we have the most amazing job in the world, but that does not mean it's easy ever. It gets sticky out there sometimes, you know."
