And that’s what friends are for. Ella Langley has already had incredible year, taking home a record-breaking seven trophies in a single night during last months ACM Awards, and her sweep officially shattered the previous single-night record of six wins, which was shared by country legends Garth Brooks (1991), Faith Hill (1999), and Chris Stapleton (2016). Not bad company at all… Her hit sophomore album Dandelion has been one of the biggest albums of the year, and it was executive produced by country superstar Miranda Lambert, who also helped write and was a huge part of Ella’s smash crossover hit single “Choosin’ Texas,” which they wrote with Luke Dick and Joybeth Taylor. Ella and Miranda have become close friends, and Ella has spoken at length about how much it has meant to her to have Miranda in her corner. And last night, she opened up about just how important it has been to have Miranda there to give her advice during this crazy time in her life. But during a recent interview with Billboard, Miranda was very humble in explaining that she just sees herself as “just kind of a hype girl,” and that Ella knows exactly what she wants, ands he’s just there to support her and occasionally “Talk her off a ledge.” I mean, that’s probably the most important thing, honestly… “I’m either talking her off a ledge or hyping her up, because she knows exactly what she wants, We’re girls; we talk each other off the ledge all the time.” Amen to that… Miranda also explained that it’s been a really cool experience for her to be part of a hit album as a producer… of course, she knows that feeling as an artist, but to be able to be part of such a big album in a different way has been a very unique experience for her: “I’ve never had a record in the world that I was just a co-producer, not the artist — so Dandelion has been a pretty cool feeling. I was texting Jon Randall, my best friend and co-producer, like, ‘I’ve never known the feeling that this is before, just having a beautiful masterpiece in the world that I got to have a hand in doing that doesn’t say my name on the front.’ It’s really a crazy feeling and I love it.” She says that she was surprised at how much success “Choosin’ Texas” has had, and at a certain point as the song become a global phenomenon, she told Ella she needed to ask an artist much bigger than her, joking she should “call Taylor Swift”: “It was not on my bingo card for ‘Choosin’ Texas’ to take over the world. I love that song, and it so feels like such a part of me. I’m from Texas, and it was one of those things where we just wrote this song we really loved, and all of a sudden… I’ve never seen anything like it. So when Ella calls and is like, ‘What does this mean?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know. You might need to call Taylor Swift right now [and ask her], because this is, like, that kind of big.” It really has been that kind of year for Ella, but I’m sure she feels very thankful to have had Miranda there holding her hand and supporting her through it all, and they teamed up for a beautiful song on Ella’s new album called “Butterfly Season” that’s one of my favorites: “Butterfly Season” Miranda also recently released her first new song with new label home MCA , the disco-inspired “Crisco”: The post Miranda Lambert Says She Has Mostly Provided Moral Support For Ella Langley: “Talking Her Off A Ledge Or Hyping Her Up” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
