Ella Langely’s “Choosin’ Texas” was co-written by Miranda Lambert, but did you know it was inspired by a kangaroo?
Ella said the song came about after Miranda Lambert recounted being pulled over while she had a baby kangaroo in her car. If you know about Miranda’s love and advocacy for animals, it’s really not THAT weird... okay, it’s still pretty weird.
Miranda told Ella that the cop took one look at the kangaroo and said “‘Of course I had Texas plates on the back of my car.’”
Ella Langley commented “She’s from Texas, I can tell” and that one line reaction led to the song!
In other Ella news, there’s a countdown clock on her website that ends Tuesday!

A girl named Maddie posted a tragic story about her father online, in hopes of getting Luke Combs’s attention.
She said her brother is a freshman at Notre Dame, and when their father went to drop her brother off back at school around the holidays, he had a medical emergency and died in the car, despite her brother doing CPR for 45 minutes to try to save him.
Maddie asked Luke if he could do something special for her brother, who now equates his time at Notre Dame to tragedy.
Luke, who is playing there in April, actually responded and said:
“I got you Maddie. So sorry for your loss. Promise I’ll make that night special for Connor and your family! God bless.”
@stackersss Dear Luke Combs, To summarize this video. My dad tragically and suddenly passed away on the Notre Dame campus on November 30th. My brother, Conner, was the one to find him and give him CPR. He’s a current freshman at Notre Dame, and I would love to help him make have a positive experience at ND now after this tragedy. My goal is for Luke to meet my brother, as this would be one of his dreams. Luke plans to head to Notre Dame in the spring, and having my brothers first time be positive in the stadium after his last memory is a football game with my dad would be my dream.
