\"Estimated2 min read\"CaretElla Langley\u2019s song \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d has been a massive hit.The country singer just dropped a 7-minute-long music video for the chart-topper.The video is packed with cameos.<\/p>\n

Ella Langley\u2019s \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d is already a certified hit. The song broke records with four consecutive weeks at the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Now, the country star is taking her tune to the next level with an incredible music video filmed at Fort Worth\u2019s Stagecoach Ballroom.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, April 1, Ella Langley dropped the official \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d music video, and what do you know? Luke Grimes (aka Kayce Dutton on Yellowstone and Marshals) is her co-star in the project. But he\u2019s not the only familiar face.<\/p>\n

In the music video, Ella is in a white pickup truck with Luke heading into Abilene, Texas, where his character grew up. \u201cYou\u2019re old stomping grounds, huh?\u201d she asks Luke at a stop. \u201cYou ever wish you didn\u2019t leave Texas?\u201d His response? \u201cSometimes\u2026 not when I met you,\u201d he admitted. The video then pans to Ella and Luke walking into a bar to meet some old friends for a drink, at which point the cameos and music start pouring in.<\/p>\n

In less than 24 hours, the honky-tonk music video garnered over 1.5 million views, securing its spot as the #2 top trending music video on YouTube. Now, it\u2019s closing in on the 5 million view mark. As fun as it is to see Ella and Luke act out her hit song, it\u2019s the other familiar faces that keep surprising viewers. From Miranda Lambert performing on stage and Ava Phillippe (Reese Witherspoon\u2019s daughter) playing Luke\u2019s Texas love interest to a slew of real-life cowboys, cowgirls, and rodeo stars, including Leighton Berry, Dale Brisby, Tyson Durfey, Shea Fisher Durfey, JB Mauney, and Shad Mayfield. Beloved Texas musicians Wade Bowen, Casey Donahew, Mike Ryan, and Tanner Usrey also make appearances. As does Ella\u2019s touring partner, Kaitlin Butts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kaitlin shared some behind-the-scenes moments of her villain arc in the video, writing, Ella \u201cmade me bully her in the \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d Official Music Video and I DID NOT LIKE IT\u2026However, it is seriously the coolest thing that\u2019s ever happened to be asked by Ella to be in this video during this massive moment around her and this song. Y\u2019all go watch it and let me know if you need me to confront someone in a bathroom for ya. I\u2019m real good at it. \ud83e\udd70\u201d<\/p>\n

All in all, it\u2019s a master class in music video production and brand placement (Jack Daniels, Shiner Bock, and Tecovas are the subtle stars of the act), and something fans can\u2019t help but applaud (and rewatch). \u201cPERFECTION! Loved all of the cameos,\u201d one fan exclaimed on Instagram. \u201cCan we make this a movie \ud83c\udfa5 \ud83c\udf7f I\u2019d buy the tickets,\u201d someone else commented. \u201cThis music video couldn\u2019t be better! I\u2019m obsessed,\u201d another fan remarked.<\/p>\n
