The Dandelion Tour is finally here.
As time passes, it’s becoming increasingly clear that 2026 will go down as the year of Ella Langley. As of writing, it’s pretty safe to say that she’s not only the hottest country artist on the planet right now but also one of the hottest artists in all of music.
Thanks to the success of “Choosin’ Texas,” the buzz surrounding her sophomore album, Dandelion, which received a lot of critical and commercial love upon its release on April 10th, and continued popularity nationwide, Langley is not only becoming a torchbearer for women in country music but also a force to be reckoned with in the music industry as a whole.
In case you haven’t been keeping up with “Choosin’ Texas’” success, it just spent its eighth non-consecutive week at #1 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. Along the way, she’s broken a plethora of records, including becoming the first woman ever to triple up and score a #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay and Hot 100 chart simultaneously, breaking Taylor Swift’s record and having the longest-running #1 hit on the Hot 100 by a female country singer (seven weeks and counting), matching Swift to become the second female country artist in history to have the #1 song and album (Dandelion) in the U.S. simultaneously and becoming just the third artist ever to hold the top three songs on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
Riding the highs of “Choosin’ Texas” and Dandelion, Langley is plotting her biggest run of shows to date on the Dandelion Tour, which kicked off last night in Toledo, Ohio, at Huntington Center with openers Gabriella Rose and Dylan Marlowe. With so much hype surrounding her over the past six months, all eyes were on the Alabama native as she kicked off her first-ever arena tour.
The setlist is finally here, and if you’re a fan of Dandelion, you’re definitely in luck.
Unsurprisingly, she’s leaning heavily into the new record, performing 11 of the 16 tracks (excluding “Froggy Went A Courtin'” which serves as her intro song). Fittingly, Langley opened the show with “Dandelion” before diving into other fan favorites from the album, such as “I Gotta Quit,” “Loving Life Again,” the red-hot “Be Her” and “Bottom of Your Boots.”
The opening night in Ohio also saw live debuts of “You & Me Time” and the standout Miranda Lambert collaboration, “Butterfly Season,” with Gabriella Rose replacing Lambert for the performance.

Obviously, Langley is still leaning on setlist staples over the past year, including the likes of “weren’t for the wind,” “you look like you love me” (with opener Dylan Marlowe), “20-20,” “girl you’re taking home” and “paint the town blue.” Additionally, her usual covers, such as Toby Keith’s “Wish I Didn’t Know Now” and Gretchen Wilson’s “Here for the Party,” make appearances, with her standout cover of Kitty Wells’ “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels” also making the cut.
