Kacey Musgraves’ New “Weekend In Texas” is a Love Letter to Home

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Kacey Musgraves’ weekend in Texas sounds eventful.

Kacey Musgraves released two songs tonight: “Weekend In Texas” and “Mi Tesoro.” Both come from Middle of Nowhere, Vol. 2: Tex Mex Tapes, the follow-up to her 2026 album Middle of Nowhere. If “Weekend In Texas” is any indication, she’s taking that Tex-Mex title seriously.

In the song, Kacey leaves her ex behind in Tennessee after saying “adiós to his ego.” She’s heading home to Texas, where the plans include dancing to Bob Wills and drinking tequila for breakfast. Honestly, she sounds so happy to be back that this weekend trip might turn into a permanent stay.

The song blends laid-back country with Tejano, norteño, and cumbia influences, making good on the “Tex Mex” part of her upcoming album’s title. The guitars add to its carefree feel, making this perfect for a lazy afternoon on the porch with your drink of choice.

I can’t think of any Kacey Musgraves songs I don’t like, but this isn’t among my favorites, honestly. It’s a fun song, but not what I typically seek out from Kacey. Hopefully, it will grow on me. I am wildly excited about Tex Mex Tapes, though.
