The Song That Broke Lubbock: Fans Beg Miranda Lambert to Release Her Own Version of “Choosin’ Texas”!
Lubbock didn’t just witness a concert this weekend; it witnessed a movement.

While opening for the King himself, George Strait, at a packed Jones AT&T Stadium, Miranda Lambert decided to give 133,000 fans a moment they weren’t expecting. She performed “Choosin’ Texas”—a track she co-wrote with rising star Ella Langley—and the reaction was nothing short of a sonic boom.
The Crowd Lost It
From the first chord, the Texas crowd knew they were hearing something special. It’s an anthem that bleeds Lone Star pride, and hearing Miranda’s powerhouse vocals deliver those lyrics in the heart of West Texas felt like a spiritual experience. The energy was so high that for a moment, the stadium felt like a small-town honky-tonk.
The Internet Has Spoken: “Release It, Miranda!”
The performance was so moving that social media is now on fire. Fans aren’t just praising the set; they are flooding the comments with a single, desperate request: Miranda, we need YOUR version.
While Ella Langley’s version is a hit in its own right, there is something about Miranda’s connection to the lyrics—which she helped craft—that has fans demanding a studio recording of her own.
“I didn’t know I needed a Miranda version of this song until right now,” one fan commented. Another added: “This song was made for her voice. Miranda, please, for the love of Texas, put this on Spotify!”

Opening for George Strait in front of 133,065 fans is the ultimate stage to test new energy, and “Choosin’ Texas” passed with flying colors. Now, the ball is in Miranda’s court. Will she answer the thousands of fans who are currently waiting for that official release?
One thing is for sure: after that Lubbock performance, Texas has definitely chosen Miranda.
