Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen — The Duet Ottawa Fans Await

Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen shocked the industry on November 7, 2025, when they performed “Cover Me Up” together at the Ryman Auditorium during the Still Hungover Tour Night 2 finale. That viral moment launched intense fan speculation about future live collaborations between the two stars.

The pair released their official studio duet “I Can’t Love You Anymore” on April 24, 2026, through SAWGOD/Columbia Records and Big Loud/Mercury Records. The track climbed the Country Airplay chart and generated significant streaming numbers within its first week.

Festival stages carry a higher probability of surprise guest appearances than standard arena dates. Morgan Wallen has appeared at multiple festival stages unannounced during 2025 and 2026. Ottawa’s proximity to Montreal and Toronto — cities with active Big Loud/Mercury Records promotional teams — keeps the door open for a cameo.

Wallen does not hold a confirmed appearance on the JUL 17, 2026 date. Langley regularly performs a solo rendition of the duet during her headlining set — keeping the emotional core of the collaboration alive for every audience regardless of guest availability.

Ella Langley’s Rise — Ottawa Debut at LeBreton Flats Park

Ella Langley built her name in Alabama honky-tonks before Nashville took notice. Her debut album Hungover earned praise from American Songwriter and landed three singles on the Billboard Hot 100.

Her sophomore album Dandelion, released April 10, 2026, on SAWGOD/Columbia Records, debuted at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart. “Choosin’ Texas,” from SAWGOD/Columbia Records, co-written with Miranda Lambert, became the first song by a solo woman to simultaneously lead the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Country Songs tally, and Country Airplay chart.
