MS NOW • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Country singer Kacey Musgraves responded sharply to criticism from former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after Musgraves met with Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico at a recent concert.
- Noem publicly favored Republican figures over Musgraves and Talarico, comparing Musgraves unfavorably to another country artist, Ella Langley, and endorsing Ken Paxton over Talarico.
- Musgraves referenced a story from Noem’s memoir about shooting her family dog in her reply, highlighting the personal nature of the exchange.
- Talarico joined the social media feud by posting a photo with Musgraves and warning, “Don’t mess with Texas,” amid his high-profile Senate race against Paxton.
- Noem, known for hard-line immigration policies, was recently fired as Homeland Security Secretary and replaced by Senator Markwayne Mullin, while Talarico campaigns against the Trump-backed Paxton in the upcoming November election.
