who is Ella Langley?
Ella Langley (born Elizabeth Camille Langley on May 3 or 4, 1999, in Hope Hull, Alabama) is an American country music singer-songwriter.Wikipedia
She grew up in a musical family in rural Alabama (near Montgomery), was homeschooled for several years, and began performing young—her early audiences included cows on the family pasture. She moved to Nashville around 2019 to pursue music full-time after dropping out of college (she had studied forestry science at Auburn University). She built a following with early singles like “If You Have To” and “Damn You,” co-wrote songs for artists such as Elle King (including “Out Yonder”), and made her Grand Ole Opry debut in 2023.Allmusic
Her breakthrough came with the 2024 debut album Hungover (on SAWGOD/Columbia/Sony Nashville), featuring the massive Riley Green collaboration “You Look Like You Love Me” (a Country Airplay No. 1 and major CMA/ACM award-winner) and “Weren’t for the Wind.” Her 2026 sophomore album Dandelion debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Its lead single “Choosin’ Texas” (co-written with Miranda Lambert) became a massive crossover hit: it topped the Billboard Hot 100 for many weeks (tying or setting records among female artists for non-holiday songs), was the first by a woman to simultaneously lead the Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and Country Airplay charts, and drove further hits like “Be Her.”Wikipedia
Langley is known for a modern yet traditional country sound with pop and roots influences, relatable songwriting about love, heartbreak, and everyday life, and a laid-back, authentic persona. She has earned multiple CMA and ACM awards (including a record haul at one ACM ceremony), headlined tours, partnered with brands like American Eagle, and is widely regarded as one of country music’s biggest rising (and now mainstream crossover) stars of the mid-2020s.CNN
