Kacey Musgraves Brings Intocable on Stage for Surprise Performance in Austin

A celebration of Texas music and Mexican-American culture took center stage Thursday night as country music star Kacey Musgraves welcomed legendary Tejano and Norteño group Intocable as surprise guests during the second night of her Middle of Nowhere tour stop at Austin’s Moody Center on October 8.

The unexpected collaboration gave fans the first live performance of the entirely Spanish-language version of “Uncertain, TX,” a new collaborative single released earlier in the week. The moment brought together Musgraves’ country roots and Intocable’s signature accordion-driven sound in a performance celebrating the cultural influences that continue to shape Texas music.

Musgraves performed in Spanish alongside Intocable lead vocalist Ricky Muñoz, who accompanied the song on accordion. The live debut offered fans an opportunity to hear the collaboration beyond its studio recording, with Muñoz’s unmistakable sound adding a distinctly música Mexicana touch to the performance.
