Ella Langley owned the 59th Annual CMA Awards.
From making CMA history with a never-before-seen awards sweep to delivering one of the night’s most buzzed-about performances (hello, Texas two-step!), the multi-platinum country darling proved she’s not just having a moment… she is the moment.
Entering the night tied for the most nominations, Langley left Bridgestone Arena as one of the ceremony’s top winners, taking home three CMA Awards and cementing her place in country music history in a way no artist ever has before.
Langley’s smash hit “you look like you love me (feat. Riley Green)” officially became the first song in CMA Awards history to win every category it has ever been nominated for — an unprecedented four-category sweep spanning two years.
The chart-topper earned: Song of the Year (2025); Single of the Year (2025); Music Video of the Year (2025) — which Langley also co-directed; and Musical Event of the Year (2024)

Taking the CMA stage for the second time, Langley delivered the television debut of her fiery new single “Choosin’ Texas,” and the performance was nothing short of iconic. Complete with a full-on two-step routine, the set felt like a love letter to the Lone Star State — bold, confident, and unapologetically country.
She hit the stage wearing custom Westerly USA chaps, American Eagle denim, and a bespoke Shea Michelle belt buckle, with rhinestoning by Dixon and Jack — a look as powerful as the performance itself.
In partnership with Chevrolet, Langley also helped deliver one of the most meaningful moments of the night. She honored U.S. service members by welcoming 100 soldiers from Fort Campbell’s 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), who received a standing ovation from the crowd.
She was joined onstage by Retired Sergeant Nick Koulchar, who was gifted a wheelchair-accessible BraunAbility Traverse, custom-built to fit his needs — a powerful reminder of the heart behind the spectacle.

Styled by Stefani Colvin, Langley served multiple fashion moments throughout the night that blended classic glam with modern edge.
For the red carpet, she stunned in a lacey 2310 Studio gown, paired with Christian Louboutin heels, custom diamond jewelry from Whitehouse Brothers, and diamond earrings from Unclaimed Baggage, finishing the look with a Glitzy Bella fur coat. It was sultry, elegant, and effortlessly star-worthy.
Later, as she celebrated her historic wins, Langley changed into a sleek Alexander McQueen black gown, once again stepping out in Louboutins and dripping in diamonds from Nadri Jewelry and Unclaimed Baggage — a victory look worthy of a record-breaking night.
With one of the most historic nights the CMA Awards have ever seen now under her belt, Ella Langley is heading into 2026 with unstoppable momentum. If this CMA sweep proved anything, it’s that Langley isn’t just shaping the future of country music — she’s leading it.
