Miranda Lambert is celebrating a major win with Ella Langley, as their song “Choosin’ Texas” continues to dominate the charts.
Co-written by Lambert, Langley, Luke Dick, and Joybeth Taylor, the track has turned into a massive cultural hit—spending three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. With this achievement, Langley becomes only the seventh female artist in history to top the chart with a country song.
The song also serves as the lead single from Langley’s upcoming album Dandelion, co-produced by Lambert. Their growing collaboration reflects not just musical chemistry, but a strong mentor–mentee bond.
Speaking about the song’s success, Lambert expressed her pride, joking that “a little song about Texas did some big s***.” She also thanked Langley for her trust, emphasizing how meaningful both the music and their friendship have become.
@mirandalambert We got to celebrate our little song that did some big sh!t last night 💪🤠🩵 #ellalangley #countrymusic #choosintexas #mirandalambert
Beyond this hit, Lambert has embraced a new role in her career—supporting rising country artists. She’s been a guiding figure for talents like Lainey Wilson and Langley, offering both professional advice and personal support.
Lambert shared that early in her own career, she lacked that kind of mentorship. Artists from the previous generation—like Faith Hill, Shania Twain, Jo Dee Messina, and Martina McBride—were focused on their own paths, leaving her without someone to turn to during difficult moments.
Now, she’s determined to be that support system for others. Lambert makes it clear that younger artists can come to her with anything—the highs, the struggles, and everything in between. At the same time, she finds inspiration in their drive and authenticity, which reminds her to stay grounded in her own journey.
While the music industry can be tough and competitive, partnerships like Lambert and Langley’s show how powerful mentorship and genuine connection can be. And judging by their current success, this duo is just getting started.
