Ella Langley rides record-breaking hits, awards and tour extensions in 2026

Country singer Ella Langley has topped charts, swept major awards and extended her Dandelion Tour while promoting all-female opening acts and sharing style tips.

In 2026, Alabama-born Ella Langley has turned her breakout hit “Choosin’ Texas” into a crossover sensation, holding the Billboard Hot 100 summit for 15 weeks—a milestone for a non-holiday track by a female artist. Her second album, “Dandelion,” arrived in April and was followed by a sweep of the ACM Awards, where she won all seven categories she was nominated for, including female artist of the year, as well as two American Music Awards for best female country artist and best country song.

The track also secured a nomination for best country at the MTV Video Music Awards. Langley's first arena-headlining Dandelion Tour has been prolonged to October, with upcoming performances at Red Rocks and two nights at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, showcasing all-female opening acts such as Kaitlin Butts, Gabriella Rose, Laci Kaye Booth, Avery Anna and Madeline Edwards, plus friends Ernest, Kameron Marlowe and Dylan Marlowe.

During a sit-down, she revealed her go-to denim—American Eagle’s Super Low-Rise Kick Bootcut Jeans—her summer style essentials, and skincare routine with HiFinch products. Mentors like Miranda Lambert have urged her to stay authentic, while she expressed a wish to work with Stevie Nicks, Chris Stapleton and Harry Styles on future projects.
