Texas is known for birthing some of the greatest musical talents in history. From music legend Beyoncé to blues singer Janis Joplin to the infamous rock band ZZ Top, the Lone Star State produces beloved musical talents in just about every genre (via Ranker).

Musgraves was born and raised in Golden Texas, where she performed in various concert halls across her hometown (via Gem Tracks), while Morris grew up in the nearby city of Arlington (via Biography). The latter honed her performing skills at bars and clubs across the state.

Morris told Rolling Stone that traveled to Nashville to visit Kacey Musgraves. This visit completely changed the trajectory of Morris’ career. She explained, “She showed me around her publishing office. It opened up this world for me: People go in, Monday through Friday, sit down and write a song. I was like, ‘Holy s***, this is the best job ever.” Thanks to Musgraves, Morris was able to hone her songwriting skills, make industry connections, and catapult her career to award-winning heights. While the pair have yet to collaborate on a song together, both women have many more years of making music ahead of them and may still grace us with a duet.
