\n\tIn support of her four-week Billboard Hot 100<\/a> chart-topper \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas,\u201d Ella Langley<\/a> brought together a star-studded cast for the heartbreak song\u2019s official video, which premiered Wedneseday (April 1).<\/p>\n

\n\tAlongside Langley, the video features Yellowstone actor and singer\/songwriter Luke Grimes, actress Ava Phillippe (daughter of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe), multiple CMA Award winner Miranda Lambert (who also co-wrote the song) and Oklahoma singer\/songwriter Kaitlin Butts. The clip was directed by Langley, Wales Toney and Caylee Robillard and filmed in Fort Worth, Texas, at the Stagecoach Ballroom.<\/p>\n

\n\tGrimes stars as Langley\u2019s beau in the video clip, as they return to his character\u2019s hometown of Abilene, Texas. As they drive into the town, Langley\u2019s character asks, \u201cDo you ever wish you didn\u2019t leave Texas?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThey stop by a local bar, when Grimes\u2019 character spots a young blond woman (Phillippe) across the room. Subsequent flashbacks reveal that the two had known each other since childhood, and they had previously been in a relationship.<\/p>\n

\n\tButts portrays an Abilene local who joins Langley in the bar\u2019s restroom and quietly warns her, \u201cTexas has a way of keeping what\u2019s hers.\u201d Back on the dance floor, Grimes\u2019 character can\u2019t help but see his former lover staring at him, while Langley\u2019s character quickly realizes the connection between the two.<\/p>\n

\n\tLambert plays a musician who\u2019s set to head back to Tennessee. When Langley confides that she\u2019s realized her man is falling for another woman, Lambert offers Langley a ride back to Tennessee. Langley\u2019s character agrees, hopping in the van with Lambert. As the van hits the road, through the back windshield, viewers see Grimes\u2019 character walk out of the bar and look around confused, as his now-ex leaves him in the Texas dust.<\/p>\n

\n\tBeyond Langley, Grimes, Lambert, Phillippe and Butts in their main roles, the video includes cameos from cowboys, ropers, bareback riders and musicians including Dale Brisby, JB Mauney, Shad Mayfield, Tyson Durfey, Shea Fisher Durfey, Leighton Berry, Casey Donahew, Tanner Usrey, Wade Bowen, Mike Ryan and Melinda Donahew.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d is featured on Langley\u2019s upcoming album Dandelion, out April 10.<\/p>\n
