We\u2019ve heard country Christmas songs<\/a> before \u2014 but never like this.<\/p>\n

Thanks to one wildly creative DJ, Ella Langley<\/a>\u2019s heartbreak anthem \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d is going viral all over again \u2014 but this time, it\u2019s wrapped in shimmering synths and pure \u201880s nostalgia.<\/p>\n

The 10 Best Ella Langley Songs<\/p>\n
