Kacey Musgraves brought her country twang to SZA‘s “Kill Bill” when she covered the break-up track on the BBC 1 Live Lounge.

The singer slowed down the track a bit by adding an acoustic guitar, a pedal steel guitar, and switching out the eerie flute notes for a piano. But it’s Musgraves’ delicate falsetto that transforms the cover into a bewitching rendition, which doubles down on the heartbreak of the murder fantasy ballad. With her all-black getup, cowboy hat, and sparkly septum piercing, Musgraves was the image of a lovelorn singer.

During her appearance on the BBC 1 Live Lounge, Musgraves also performed the raunchy lead single “Dry Spell” from her forthcoming seventh album Middle of Nowhere. The singer-songwriter just delivered the live debut of the track during a surprise set at Coachella 2026. It was her first performance at the music festival in seven years, and she made it extra special by debuting a handful of other Middle of Nowhere songs, including the newly released title track, “Uncertain, TX,” and “Back on the Wagon.”
