Even though the performance was everything a fan could dream of, it was extra special because Selena’s last RodeoHouston performance was Feb. 26, 1995 at the Astrodome. The star was tragically shot and killed not long after in March 1995. This tribute was not overlooked by fans, as some even referred to Kacey’s performance as “historic.” Even Selena’s sister, Suzette Quintanilla showed her appreciation for the cover as she captioned on Instagram, “Awww this makes me wanna shed a tear! Takes me back.”
“Suze!! Gracias x a million. The utmost respect to you, your sister, and the music y’all created,” Musgraves replied to her approval. “I first learned Como La Flor to sing in my 5th grade talent show (lol) and it was a dream to be able to pay homage tonight to one of the greatest innovators and queens of all time. Especially the day before the anniversary. In my home state.”
Kacey Musgraves’ cover was truly a beautiful gesture that was appreciated by many fans who miss Selena. The country music star certainly marked a few items off of her Texan Bucket List. And that’s got to count for something….

“Como La Flor” Lyrics (English Translation)
I know you have a new love
However i wish you the best
If you didn’t find happiness with me
Maybe, someone else will give it to you
(Chorus)
Like the flower
That with so much love
You gave me
It withered
I’m leaving today
I know how to lose
But, ay ay ay how it hurts
Ay ay ay how it hurts
(Verse 2)
If you see how hurts to lose your love
With your goodbye, you are taking my hearth
I don’t know if I will love again
Because I gave you all the love I could give
(Chorus 2x)
Like the flower
That with so much love
You gave me
It withered
I’m leaving today
I know how to lose
But, ay ay ay how it hurts
Ay ay ay how it hurts
