Shania Twain has extremely high praise for Ella Langley.
As our readers are aware, Langley has been experiencing a meteoric rise in the music industry that has been nothing short of insane to watch.
The "Nicotine" and "Dandelion" singer is the undisputed face of women in country music. She dominates the charts, racks up awards and has built a following so loyal that it's borderline hard to believe.
Now, one of the true female trailblazers in country music is pouring a ton of praise on Langley.
Shania Twain pours praise on Ella Langley.
Shania Twain was an unstoppable force in country music going from breaking through in the 1990s. She paved the way for a lot of acts who would follow, and to put it as simply as possible, she's the definition of a legend.
What does she think about the woman who appears to be following a similar path?
She's a big fan, and thinks the reasons for Langley's success are fairly straightforward and simple.
Twain said the following in an interview with Rolling Stone that was released on Wednesday:
I’ve never met Ella Langley, but just from what I’m observing, like all of us, she seems very authentic. She doesn’t come across to me as somebody that’s trying to be somebody else, or trying to write a song that, you know, is with an agenda. I see her as, like, an authentic songwriter. She sounds original. That’s already a bonus, right. She does have a unique sound. So now we already can hear the difference, and she really does seem very unapologetic, and I think that commands respect. It really does. I’m not sorry that I’m a girl, and if I don’t make it, then I’m still gonna get up on stage and sing, and I sense that in her aura and her persona. And the way she delivers a song. She writes the songs. So, I think that also makes her more authentic. She means it. I believe her. I believe what she’s saying, I don’t think she’s just making up songs, I think she’s saying what she really thinks.
Imagine how fast the internet and country music world would break if Langley and Shania Twain teamed up for some kind of collaboration.
It would put up generational numbers and go viral so fast that your head would be spinning. I don't want to take credit for floating the idea if it actually happens, but bookmark this just in case it does.
It makes too much sense to ignore.
It's also great to see Twain share some positivity in this world. We could all use more of that. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
