COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) – The Aggie Wranglers made a special appearance in a music video for a popular artist.<\/p>\n
Ella Langley\u2019s \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d recently claimed a historic fourth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, surpassing Taylor Swift\u2019s record for the most weeks at the top by a woman in country music. <\/p>\n
The music video, which dropped Wednesday, features Miranda Lambert, Yellowstone star Luke Grimes and Ava Philippe\u2014along with local talent from the Texas A&M Aggie Wranglers dance team. The Wranglers were recruited through a connection to a previous music video production, but kept in the dark about the artist. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey wouldn\u2019t tell us who it was for. It was a really big secret,\u201d said Rachael Owens, the group\u2019s public relations officer. \u201cNobody on the team could tell anybody they knew\u2014their mom, dad, boyfriend, girlfriend,\u201d Barnett, secretary of the Wranglers, added.<\/p>\n
There were no formal rehearsals. \u201cIt was more like, \u2018Make sure you\u2019re practicing your two-step with your dance partners and just come ready,\u201d Barnett said. Current members and alumni were brought in, and all signed nondisclosure agreements before the shoot.<\/p>\n
On set, the team focused on the job\u2014but didn\u2019t miss the moment. \u201cWe were really just there to dance and make Ella look good,\u201d Owens said. \u201cBut being in the same room as them was really cool. I\u2019m a huge country music fan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Owens hopes the exposure pays off for the organization. \u201cI think this will help us get more performances in the future, maybe some sponsorships, a lot more lesson participants.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Aggie Wranglers are a community service organization that performs for free at events ranging from nursing homes to the Texas State Inaugural Ball. They also teach dance lessons to fund uniforms and operations.<\/p>\n
