Attention, Ella Fellas.
As we sit in 2026, there’s simply no denying that Ella Langley is the hottest star in country music. Launching off the success of her Riley Green collaboration, “you look like you love me” throughout 2024 and 2025, the Alabama native has become nothing short of a phenomenon thanks to the megahit that is “Choosin’ Texas” and, in turn, has captured the hearts of nearly everyone over the past year.
In case you haven’t been keeping up with “Choosin’ Texas’” success, it just spent its 15th week at #1 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. As it stands today, “Choosin’ Texas” is the longest-running #1 hit by a female artist THIS CENTURY, the only country song by a woman to triple up and go #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100, Hot Country and Country Airplay charts simultaneously and just one of 25 songs in history to stay at #1 for 12+ weeks on the Hot 100.
In case that wasn’t enough, thanks to the success of her sophomore album, Dandelion, which debuted at #1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 and sold 169,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in its first week, Langley became just the second woman in history to hold the #1 album and song in the U.S. simultaneously with a country song/album.
She would also capture other records on the Hot 100, such as becoming the first country artist IN HISTORY to hold the Top 2 songs in the United States simultaneously for more than one week and the first female country artist to score three of the Top 4 hits on the Hot 100 in a single week with country songs, becoming one of only nine artists in any genre to accomplish this feat.
Of course, her success is not limited to just the charts. Over the past year, she’s created her own perfume, Be Her, with Noyz, teamed up with BUM Energy for her very own energy drink, launched a partnership with American Eagle, alongside names like Sydney Sweeney and Travis Kelce and partnered with Boot Barn on her current Dandelion Tour.
Just when you thought that the string of partnerships was slowing down, the Alabama native is set to launch her most anticipated collab to date: her very own beer.
After being heavily featured in the music video for “Choosin’ Texas” and teased last week, Langley is officially partnering with the popular Texas beer brand, Shiner Bock, for a brand-new line of beer, aptly titled “Dandelion Honey Kolsch,” which will release on Thursday, August 13th.
According to San Antonio Express-News, the beer’s release will be celebrated with a free event at Otto’s Ice House in San Antonio, Texas, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m, along with a DJ playing Langley’s biggest hits, local vendors and a raffle.
As of now, it’s unconfirmed if Langley herself will be in attendance; however, she is headlining a show in Austin, which is only an hour away the same night.
