Ella Langley and Miranda Lambert recently shared a funny behind-the-scenes story that happened during one of their songwriting sessions, and it quickly turned into a light-hearted “who’s more redneck” competition.
According to Langley, the moment unfolded when a snake appeared while they were in the middle of writing at a farm. She says she immediately jumped up to deal with it, but things escalated when Miranda Lambert stepped outside with a shotgun, ready to handle the situation her own way. Langley joked that they were basically trying to outdo each other in typical rural fashion, turning a simple interruption into a humorous showdown.
Lambert later laughed about it as well, explaining that they really were at a farm and both reacted instinctively. However, the twist in the story is that the snake never actually got shot. Langley managed to scare it off before Lambert could use the shotgun, which led to Lambert jokingly being “mad” that she missed her chance.
The story was shared during a conversation on Three Generations, where Ella Langley discussed not only the snake incident but also her creative relationship with Lambert. Country legend Reba McEntire was also present during the discussion, mostly laughing and enjoying the chaotic story rather than jumping into it.
Beyond the humor, the moment highlighted how naturally the two artists connect creatively. Lambert has already played a major role in Langley’s work, including co-producing her Dandelion album and contributing to her hit “Choosin’ Texas.” They also share the duet “Butterfly Season,” which Langley says contains one of her favorite lyrics she’s ever written.
Langley also hinted that their collaboration may not stop there. She expressed that when you find people you enjoy making music with, you don’t want to stop working together. That suggests fans could see more joint projects from Langley and Lambert in the future.
