Musgraves tweeted, "ANYTHING FOR SELENAAAAS and nothing but RESPECT. ???????? My tribute last night, the day before the 24th anniversary of her final concert in Houston. #VivaSelena #Reina @RODEOHOUSTON"
"Highlight of my life," another user tweeted.
The fun didn't stop at the Selena tribute for the native of Mineola, Texas.
Fans reacted excitingly after Musgraves finished singing her song "High Horse" and then rode off stage on a horse to end her performance.
