Behind the Hit: The Story of Ella Langley's 'Choosin' Texas' and the Kangaroo Connection
Ella Langley's hit song "Choosin' Texas" has an interesting backstory that involves Miranda Lambert and a baby kangaroo. The song was written during a writer's retreat with Joy Beth Taylor and Luke Dick, where Lambert shared a wild story about being pulled over with a kangaroo in her car. This unusual anecdote inspired the lyrics of the song, which quickly came together in about 30 minutes. Despite not directly mentioning the marsupial, the song has become a chart-topping hit in the country music genre and has even crossed over to other music charts. Langley and Lambert have hinted at more collaborations in the future, promising exciting projects beyond just songs. With their talent and success, it wouldn't be surprising to see both artists inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame one day.
