"Texas is cold, I can be cold."
Kacey Musgraves is selling merchandise trolling her fellow Texan Ted Cruz, and the profit she does make on it she is passing straight to people in need in the State.
The country star, like many from the Lone Star state, was appalled at the Senator's decision to flee to sunny Cancun while his constituents literally froze to death in an unprecedented winter storm.

On Thursday night, Senator Cruz admitted the line about "only dropping his daughters off" wasn't quite true, and that he originally planned to stay the whole weekend.
The PR nightmare continues to snowball, as it emerged his wife texted friends to join them in toasty Mexico, while the family left their pet poodle back in the freezing home.
While all this was going on, millions of Texans are without power, heat, water and/or food.
