Ella Langley revealed a sneak peek of her star-studded music video for her history-making hit, “Choosin’ Texas.”
Langley, 26, features “Choosin’ Texas” co-writer Miranda Lambert, Yellowstone and Marshals star Luke Grimes, and others in the storytelling visual. The trailer, which dropped on Tuesday afternoon (March 31), shows Langley and Grimes arriving in Abilene, Texas. They run into Grimes’ ex-girlfriend, played by actress and model Ava Phillippe (daughter of award-winning actress and producer Reese Witherspoon), and the former couple reconnect on the dance floor while Lambert takes the stage at the saloon.
“Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee/ I shoulda known better than to take him back to Abilene/ I put him right back into her arms/ I wasn’t a match for that kinda spark/ She’s from Texas I can tell by the way/ He’s two steppin round the room/ And judgin by the smile that’s written on his face/ There’s nothin I can to do/ It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see/ A cowboy always finds a way to leave/ Drinkin Jack all by myself/ He’s choosin’ Texas I can tell”
“I think the guy that I’m in love with is in love with somebody else,” Langley admits to Lambert in the 23-second preview. Langley directed the video with Wales Toney and Caylee Robillard. “Choosin’ Texas” also stars Kaitlin Butts, JB Mauney, Tyson Durfey, Shad Mayfield, Leighton Berry, Dale Brisby, Shea Fisher Durfey, Tanner Usrey, Wade Bowen and others. It was filmed at Stagecoach Ballroom in Fort Worth, Texas.
The “Choosin’ Texas” music video premieres on Wednesday (April 1) at 6:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. CT.
“Choosin’ Texas” is one of the first tracks to arrive from Langley’s highly-anticipated sophomore record, Dandelion, along with the title track, “Be Her” and “Loving Life Again.” The 18-track album is due to release on Friday, April 10. The reigning iHeartRadio Music Awards Best New Country Artist will kick off her headlining “Dandelion Tour” later this spring with special guests Kameron Marlowe, Dylan Marlowe, Kaitlin Butts, Gabriella Rose and Laci Kaye Booth on select dates.
