Ella Langley Releases Star-Studded “Choosin’ Texas” Music Video Featuring Luke Grimes, Miranda Lambert, Texas Country Singers, Rodeo Stars & More
A star-studded music video for her crossover smash hit.
Ella Langley is gearing up to release her highly-anticipated sophomore album Dandelion, which will be out in less than a month on April 10th, and she already has a huge song on her hands with the lead single, “Choosin’ Texas.”
She recently broke the record for longest-running #1 hit on Hot 100 by a female country singer after the song spent its fourth non-concurrent week in first place on that chart, surpassing Taylor Swift, who spent three weeks at #1 back in 2012 for her pop hit, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.”
Of course, Ella wrote the song with Miranda Lambert, Luke Dick, and Joybeth Taylor, and it’s become an absolute juggernaut and historically huge mainstream crossover hit.
And every huge hit needs a good music video to go along with it, and today, “Choosin’ Teas” got the full music video treatment complete with some huge Hollywood stars in Luke Grimes, who fans will recognize from Yellowstone currently Marshals, where he stars as Kayce Dutton, and Ava Phillippe is also a lead role, and her face is a dead give away that she is the daughter of Reese Witherspoon… she’s a spitting image of her mom, that’s for sure.
Co-writer and producer Miranda Lambert is also featured on stage, clearly the Texas part of the equation in terms of the writing process. Country artist Kaitlin Butts is also included in the video, as well as iconic rodeo figures like Dale Brisby, JB Mauney, Shad Mayfield, Tyson Durfey, and more. Texas A&M’s Aggie Wranglers dance team performs as Langley and Grimes head to the honky tonk to cut a rug and enjoy the night life. You’ll also recognize other staple Texas country artists in Wade Bowen, Casey Donahew, Tanner Usrey and Mike Ryan.
But as the song goes, of course, he has a thing for Texas, and a certain blonde, played by Phillippe, and he chooses Texas as Langley comes to terms with the fact that her boyfriend is falling for another woman.
With a song that’s been as big as this, it deserved a star-studded video like the one she’s put out, and I think fans will enjoy seeing Grimes in particular playing the leading man, who is also gearing up to put out his own sophomore album Redbird this Friday, April 3rd.
The career-defining song continues to get bigger, and Ella’s album is poised for a huge release when it comes out in just a couple weeks. You can watch the cinematic music video here:
