Ella Langley at Redwest 2026 — Why This Show Matters
Ella Langley performed at Redwest in 2025 as a non-headlining act. She returns in 2026 as the Friday headliner — a direct measure of how fast her career has moved in 12 months. The Deseret News confirmed Langley surpassed a Taylor Swift record with “Choosin’ Texas.” The track became the top-selling song of 2026, ahead of Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia.”
Langley co-wrote “Choosin’ Texas” with Miranda Lambert, Luke Dick, and Joybeth Taylor on a writing retreat. Miranda Lambert also co-executive produced Langley’s sophomore album Dandelion alongside Ben West. The Salt Lake City crowd gets Langley at the peak of the Dandelion era — fresh off a Billboard No. 1 trifecta no solo woman had ever achieved before.
