When Kacey Musgraves served as the opening performer at the new, 4,500-person capacity music venue The Pinnacle in Nashville on Thursday night (Feb. 27), she featured a new, unreleased song as part of her set — a song she wrote about her Australian cattle dog, whom Musgraves told the audience “is so spicy, I named her Pepper.”
Musgraves offered up the witty yet loving “She’s My Bitch,” inspired by her beloved pup.
“She’s black and white/ All Ride or die, more bark than bite/ She’s my b—h,” Musgraves sings in a fan-captured video, eliciting cheers from the audience. “The star of the pack, no one’s talking smack/ Yeah, she’s got my back/ She’s my b—h.”

From there, the musician wrapped in a bit of her signature, keen-eyed wit, singing, “Who would have known when I took her home, that I’d fall so in love … Yeah, I’m her b—h.”
Last year, Musgraves shared how Pepper saved the singer from nearly stepping on a venomous copperhead snake. Pepper was bitten by the snake and Musgraves took the dog to the vet, where it was treated and ultimately healed. “Thank God for good dogs,” Musgraves wrote on social media at the time.
In a set that offered up earthy vibes thanks to a stage filled with moss, greenery and even confetti, Musgraves’ show also included songs such as her Grammy-winning “The Architect” and her breakthrough “Merry Go Round,” as well as “Rainbow” and “High Horse.”
The performance came just a couple of months after Musgraves performed at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. Musgraves’s most recent album, Deeper Well, released in 2024 and followed her 2021 album Star-Crossed.
