Ella Langley Breaks Out: Rising Country Star Drops Fiery New Single & 2026 Tour Dates

Country music dynamo Ella Langley is capitalizing on her white-hot momentum as her sophomore album, “Dandelion,” arrives this Friday, April 10. Powered by the crossover smash “Choosin’ Texas,” which is spending a fifth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the 18-track set was executive-produced with Miranda Lambert and Ben West and features a Lambert duet (“Butterfly Season”) plus a bold cover of Kitty Wells’ classic “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels.” Pre-release singles “Be Her,” “Loving Life Again” and the title track have already racked up millions of streams, positioning the Alabama native for a blockbuster release. Fueling the buzz, Langley stunned 4,000 fans at Nashville’s Pinnacle on April 2 when Morgan Wallen invited her out for a surprise piano duet of his hit “Sand in My Boots.” The on-stage chemistry previewed their expanded partnership: Langley will join select dates of Wallen’s 23-city Still The Problem Tour, which kicks off April 10 in Minneapolis. Live shows keep stacking up. Before her own Dandelion Tour launches May 7 in Toledo, Langley has been tapped to headline the 18th annual Stars for Second Harvest benefit at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on June 2, joining a legacy roster that has included Keith Urban and Dierks Bentley. Proceeds will aid the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. With arena runs alongside Wallen, high-profile festival slots at Stagecoach and CMA Fest, and a fresh album timed perfectly for summer playlists, Ella Langley is poised to dominate 2026’s country-pop conversation—and search feeds.
