Ella Langley Releases Official Music Video For Her Massive Hit “Choosin’ Texas” Starring Miranda Lambert, Luke Grimes & More

Country music star Ella Langley has officially unveiled the highly anticipated music video for her hit single Choosin’ Texas, giving fans a cinematic look at the love-triangle story behind the chart-topping track.

The song has already become one of the biggest country hits of the year. “Choosin’ Texas” spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, helping Langley set a major milestone by spending more time at the top of the chart than Taylor Swift previously held with the record.

A Star-Studded Cast Brings the Story to Life

The official video delivers a full cinematic storyline packed with recognizable faces. Among the featured actors is Luke Grimes, best known for his role in the hit TV series Yellowstone.

Also appearing in the video is Ava Phillippe, the daughter of Reese Witherspoon, who recently appeared in Ransom Canyon.

The lineup doesn’t stop there. The video also includes appearances from:

• Miranda Lambert
• Kaitlin Butts
• Wade Bowen
• Tanner Usrey
• J.B. Mauney

With so many familiar names involved, the music video feels more like a short western drama than a traditional country video.

Premiering Today — And Not an April Fools’ Joke

The official video premiered April 1 at 5:30 PM PST, and despite some fans wondering if the release was an elaborate April Fools’ prank, the video turned out to be a full cinematic production.

One fan humorously commented online that the storyline felt like something Taylor Sheridan could turn into a multi-season western series.

Directed by Ella Langley Herself

While Sheridan didn’t direct the project, Langley herself took the creative lead. She directed the music video alongside Wale Toney and photographer Caylee Robillard, who has long worked with the rising country star.

Langley also stars in the storyline as the non-Texas girlfriend of Luke Grimes’ character, setting up the central love-triangle drama.

A Honky-Tonk Story Set in Texas

The video takes place in the historic Stagecoach Ballroom in Fort Worth, Texas, creating the perfect backdrop for the song’s emotional narrative.

Throughout the video, viewers see Grimes’ character reconnecting with his Texas ex, while Langley performs the song surrounded by couples two-stepping across the dance floor.

Kaitlin Butts plays a bold bathroom confidant who warns Langley about her boyfriend’s past, while Miranda Lambert appears as the bar’s stage performer before eventually leaving town with Langley in the band’s van.

With fringe outfits, cowboy boots, and classic honky-tonk scenes, the visuals capture the spirit of Texas country culture.

A Hidden Easter Egg?

The video ends with a mysterious detail that fans quickly noticed — a license plate reading “ICLYA.”

Some fans believe the letters may hint at an upcoming song or future storyline connected to Langley’s music, especially as the video closes with Langley singing the line “it’s last call for us.”

Leading Into the Upcoming Album Dandelion

“Choosin’ Texas” serves as the lead single from Langley’s upcoming album Dandelion, set for release on April 10.

Several songs from the project have already been released, including:

• “Dandelion”
• “Be Her”
• “Loving Life Again”

The album will feature 18 tracks, with many still waiting to be revealed.

Taking the Music on the Road

Langley will also take the album on tour later this year with the Dandelion Tour, which begins May 7 in Toledo, Ohio.

The tour will run through the summer before wrapping up August 15 in Fort Worth, Texas — a fitting finale for the Texas-inspired hit that continues to capture fans’ attention.

With a chart-topping song, a cinematic music video, and a new album just around the corner, Ella Langley’s momentum in country music shows no signs of slowing down.
