Ella Langley’s second album, Dandelion, has been leading the Billboard 200, and she brought plenty of the songs from that album to her Stagecoach performance on the Mane Stage on Friday night (April 24).
As the sunset over Coachella Valley, Langley sauntered onstage, wearing a flowy dress and red boots that fit the setting’s chill vibe perfectly. She proceeded to easily command the crowd’s attention with her slate of songs from an album that has clearly resonated with fans.
She opened with the album’s breezy title track. From there, she treated the crowd to more songs including “Bottom of Your Boots,” and “Broken.” Before singing “I Can’t Love You Anymore” — the new collab she just released with Morgan Wallen — she was frank with the crowd, cautioning them that her collaborator Wallen would not be joining them at Stagecoach that evening.
“He’s on dad duty,” she said, noting that Wallen was spending time with his young son that weekend.
Langley still managed to bring one of the biggest surprises during night one of Stagecoach by welcoming comedian and podcaster Theo Von to join her on “You Look Like You Love Me,” her hit collab with Riley Green. Langley had previously appeared on Theo Von’s podcast a few weeks ago. After she reeled through the intro of the song, Von joined her onstage, pointed to Langley and said, “And that’s when I realized she was every cowboy’s dream come true.” The pair sang together on the stage, circling one another often and after the collab ended, Langley told the crowd, “Bet you didn’t expect that! Keep ’em guessin!”
Throughout her show, she stalked the stage with confidence, twirling and bringing an accessible, sultry charm to her stage show. She continued with her seven-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Choosin’ Texas,” as the entire massive Stagecoach crowd swayed and sang along. She closed with “Weren’t For the Wind.”
