What Shania Twain Really Thinks About Ella Langley Will Surprise You
Ella Langley has taken the music world by storm, and despite her rapidly rising fame, the 27-year-old “Choosin’ Texas” singer has never shied away from giving credit to those in the industry who have inspired her.
Just a few days ago, the singer took to TikTok where she paid homage to none other than Shania Twain with a stunning cover of her hit song, “Still the One.” The stripped down version of the ballad showcased Ella’s stunning vocals, and her love for the track was reflected in her caption where she wrote “I’ll never get over this song.”
Since the video was posted, it’s garnered millions of views and even a response from Shania herself. Here, a look at Ella Langley’s Shania Twain cover, and what the country singers have said about one another.
Shania Twain reacts to Ella Langley’s cover
Ella’s cover of “Still the One” earned over 500,000 likes and thousands of comments, but there’s one reaction that perhaps meant the most to the young country star. “So flattered,” wrote Shania Twain in the comments. “Loved getting to connect at ACMs xx.”
Shania Twain hosted this year’s ACM Awards, and considering Ella Langley led the night with seven wins, it doesn’t come as a surprise that these two crossed paths that evening.
A few weeks ago, in conversation with USA Today, Shania gushed about Ella, saying, “I’m very excited about Ella Langley. I don’t center her out as the only thing that’s exciting about country music right now, but she brings me back to the early country that I grew up with and was singing as a child.”
She continued, “I’ve heard a lot of producers, writers and so on say, ‘You know, we don’t want to be too country’ or ‘That’s too country.’ And I’m thinking, What is too country? So Ella Langley, to me, is really country western, and I’ve missed that in the genre.”
Shania sang Ella’s praises on the carpet of the ACM Awards as well while chatting with Billboard. “Ella is really a super talent. She’s a great writer. She’s got a fabulous attitude. I think she’s just really unapologetic about what she writes and says, and so she commands respect. I love that.”
It’s clear that Ella Langley’s talent and authenticity have won over one of country music’s biggest icons—and that’s no small feat. As Ella continues to honor the legends who came before her while carving out her own unique path, fans can’t wait to see what she does next. One thing’s for sure: Shania Twain will be cheering her on every step of the way. Who knows? Maybe a collaboration could be in their future!
