Need an official cover ASAP. In a year filled with massive breakouts from the likes of Zach Top, Treaty Oak Revival, The Red Clay Strays, Megan Moroney and more, it’s still hard to top Ella Langley’s huge 2025. In addition to continuing her momentum built off the success of “you look like you love me” with Riley Green, the Alabama native would go on to win not one but three separate CMA Awards last month for Single, Song and Music Video of the Year, all for the aforementioned hit song. Not to be outdone, last week, she finally scored her first-ever #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart for her red-hot single co-written with Miranda Lambert, “Choosin’ Texas,” which rose from #4 to #1 on the chart. As the year slowly winds down to a close, many artists are starting to get into the holiday spirit, either taking time off the road to recharge for 2026 or simply spending time with friends and family. In Langley’s case, however, she’s still keeping fans entertained with a brand-new acoustic cover of none other than the King himself, George Strait’s, 1982 single, “Fool Hearted Memory.” View this post on Instagram I doubt many country fans aren’t familiar with “Fool Hearted Memory,” but in case you need a bit of a refresher on the significance of the song, it was first released as the first single on Strait’s iconic sophomore record, Strait from the Heart in May of 1982. What makes the song so significant, however, is the fact that it became the “Troubadour” singer’s first-ever chart-topper, which ultimately set him on the path and paved his way for his eventual record-setting 60 #1 singles throughout his career. It’s safe to say that Langley is no stranger to a cover song or two. In addition to frequently performing the likes of Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” Gretchen Wilson’s “Here For The Party” and more, she went viral earlier in the year with her appearance on Apple Music’s Nashville Sessions: Toby Keith Covered, where she performed Keith’s severely underrated 1994 single, “Wish I Didn’t Know Now.” And similar to her cover of Keith, which left fans begging for more, last night’s cover of “Fool Hearted Memory” is currently receiving similar treatment. Despite being posted just 14 hours ago as of writing, Langley’s Instagram video of the song has already garnered over two million views, a staggering 161,000 likes, 1,600 comments and 4,400 shares. Unsurprisingly, the comments are simply filled with fans praising her killer vocals on the track, loving the fact that she’s covering the King and, of course, begging for a full-length cover. “you playing George Strait is healing” “Playing King George with that voice is such a flex… thank God I get to say I was alive for both.” “Can you just do a while King George album. The Pure Country soundtrack?” “Ultimate queen” “The queen sings the king“ “Need a cover released” “Need this on Spotify” “Immediately yes” “Inject this cover into my veins” “this healed me” “This might be God’s gift to earth” While it might be a bit of a stretch for Langley to record an official cover with Strait itself, I don’t think anyone would mind a full-length studio cover of the classic song sometime soon. It should go without saying that her sultry vocals shine through on the track seemingly effortlessly. If you add the iconic fiddle-work present on Strait’s original, it would be nothing short of a show-stopper release from Langley.

The first taste of Cloud 9. Over the weekend, Megan Moroney was in Los Angeles to receive the Variety Hitmakers Storyteller of the Year award, but the big news was that she was spotted out and about with Hollywood actor Glen Powell… But while she was there, I guess she was feeling generous because she played a pretty long snippet of a song on her forthcoming album while on a bus either going to or leaving the event during a TikTok live video, and it sounds like a jam. Here’s a look at the lyrics: “You show up You’ve got all the right things to say It’s all sunshine and blue skies But I can also make it rain Don’t make me wish I didn’t Get dressed up Let you take me out…” Other than the two previously-released songs that we know are going to be on the tracklist in “6 Months Later” and “Beautiful Things,” we haven’t really heard any of the songs, and she hasn’t revealed the tracklist yet, so I’m sure fans were loving this little preview.

My Mom Knows How to Haggle | Shivani Nadarajah Stand-Up Comedy

What started as a pleasant social evening quickly took a negative turn. A husband invited some new coworkers over for dinner and instead of properly introducing his wife, he made a sexist joke that she felt was belittling. The wife, who goes by the name Sadie on Reddit, shared the story on the AITA forum to ask if she responded correctly.Spoiler alert: Yes, she did. “My husband invited his new coworkers over for dinner. When they arrived, he introduced me by gesturing at me and saying, ‘This is Mrs. Smith (he didn't even say my name)...the housewife!'" Sadie revealed.“I looked at him for a second, then I started laughing hysterically,” Sadie continued. “I then said, ‘No, honey, I work full time, and YES I still act like a housewife when I'm home because you simply can't bother to help.’” After Sadie’s remark, the guests stared at the husband, who tried to laugh it off and then changed the subject by asking them if they wanted a drink.The rest of the dinner was awkward, with the husband and wife exchanging angry glances. After the guests left, the husband blew up at Sadie, saying that she laughed like a “lunatic” and that she ruined “his image.” Husband fussing at wife.Canva Photos.“I told him he was wrong to lie about my status and deny my degree, to begin with,” Sadie continued. He said I could've talked to him about it privately later but not like this, and making his coworkers think he's useless.” Sadie asked the online forum if she was out of line, and they responded with a collective, "No!"People overwhelmingly supported the wife, raising an issue far beyond the fact that her husband was seriously inconsiderate. It’s a big red flag in a relationship when one spouse diminishes or belittles the other in public or private.“Men who diminish their partners to look better at the office are gross. He only seemed to care about his embarrassment and not yours. I'd be mortified if my husband used a lie that robbed me of my success and accomplishments to prop himself up," one user responded.“It's a red flag for the relationship. He doesn't want a partner who is an equal. He wants a dependent woman who he can provide for completely so he can feel like a man," another user added.Some also noted that it was wrong of him to disparage homemakers."He diminished (being a housewife is not a ‘low’ role, but he meant it that way) you in public, you corrected him. In public. As he deserved,” said another. Red Flags Reaction GIF by Kamie Crawford Giphy The viral post received over 24,000 comments, highlighting the idea that belittling your partner is a serious sign of a dysfunctional relationship that should not be ignored.According to Psychology Today, backhanded compliments, digs, and subtle put-downs are attempts by one partner to make the other feel small and themselves feel big. “Although cleverly disguised as a joke or a compliment, these comments may qualify as ‘toxic’ if they sting, cause confusion, and replay in a person’s mind for days, disrupting their peace,” Erin Leonard, Ph.D. writes.Ultimately, commenters overwhelmingly agreed that Sadie was right not to let her husband's belittling compliment go unnoticed. By sharing it online, she opened up a meaningful discussion about appropriate humor in relationships. Studies show that it’s healthy for partners to joke around with one another, but when the comments are thinly veiled put-downs and backhanded compliments, it’s no laughing matter.
