Ella Langley Honors George Strait with a Breathtaking Cover of “You Look So Good in Love

Over the past year, Ella Langley has been making waves in country music. She dropped her debut studio album, Hungover, landed on the Billboard Hot 100 with Riley Green on “You Look Like You Love Me”, and teamed up with Kameron Marlowe for “Strangers”. But even as her career skyrockets, Langley took a moment to pay tribute to the King of Country himself—George Strait.

In a simple yet powerful performance, Langley sat in a dimly lit room with just her guitar and delivered a beautiful cover of “You Look So Good in Love”. Originally released by Strait in September 1983, the song—written by Rory Bourke, Kerry Chater, and Glen Ballard—tells the story of a man watching his ex fall in love with someone new, realizing that she’s finally found true happiness.

Langley’s heartfelt rendition quickly gained traction, earning nearly 15,000 likes and sparking admiration from fans. One comment read, “I love these old-school covers. You should do ‘Feelin’ Better’ while rollin’ on the tour bus—seems like the perfect setting!” Another fan praised her natural beauty and talent, writing, “You are absolutely stunning, even without makeup, and your voice is angelic.”

Ella Langley Gets Advice from Riley Green

Beyond the studio and her viral covers, Langley has been learning to navigate life on stage. In a conversation with Taste of Country, she admitted to dealing with pre-show nerves, sharing the pep talk she gives herself before stepping out:

👉 “Don’t fall down.”

Unfortunately, that fear became a reality when she took a tumble on stage for the first time. But rather than letting it shake her confidence, she turned to Riley Green for advice. His response?

👉 “Just get up there and do your thing. Get up there and sing it.”

Even Green, who exudes confidence on stage, confessed to battling nerves in his own way, jokingly adding: “I feel like I can hide a lot of emotions behind my mustache.”

With her undeniable talent, humility, and dedication to honoring country legends, Langley continues proving she’s one to watch in the industry. 🎶🔥
