Ella Langley’s fan club has two new high-profile members | Music City Minute

In country music, Ella Langley is the hottest thing on two wheels. On the heels of releasing her sophomore album, “Dandelion,” Langley admits she is still getting used to superstardom. The Alabama native has been open about her struggles with imposter syndrome, anxiety and weight of her bangs being recognized everywhere she goes. While Ella’s bona fide talent speaks for itself, at heart, the 26-year-old remains a no-name girl with a guitar and a dream. That said, Langley hilariously shared how she gets starstruck when meeting country legends and icons. One particular “freak out” happened when meeting Blake Shelton and Eric Church. The “Weren’t For The Wind” singer went as far to declare she was having a fangirl moment and needed a beat to act “weird” and get out her excitement. With that in mind, I wonder how Langley would act if the opportunity arose to meet two of her biggest fans, Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick? In fact, the couple posted an adorable video covering the song “Be Her,” that has gone viral. Not going to lie, if I was Ella, I would end up screaming, crying and throwing up (not necessarily in that order) if Valentine from “Tremors” and Julia from “Heart and Souls” covered one of my original songs!
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
