When it comes to the Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday, it was Ella Langley’s world. We’re just living in it.
The country music star broke down when receiving the ACM Female Artist of the Year.
“Today I was having a strange day,” she said. “I don’t know what it is about awards shows, but I have strange days.
“I walked right in Lainey (Wilson‘s) room and she hugged me and she started praying for me. And then all of the sudden here comes Miranda Lambert in her little pink hat. I would not be standing up here without the encouragement of so many women.”
Langley also stressed the important role women have played in her life and career.
“Thank you to the women,” she said. “I would not be standing up here without the women. Thank you.”
Her first honor of the Academy of Country Music Awards Sunday was for the coveted song of the year, given to Langley for the crossover hit “Choosin’ Texas,” presented to her by Michael Bublé.
“I’m not at a loss for words very often,” said Langley in her speech. “Thank you to the fans. I don’t know why you latched on to this song but thank you for doing it.”
Less than an hour later she was back on stage, winning single of the year for the same smash.
She also joined Riley Green shortly thereafter, as their duet “Don’t Mind if I Do” took home music event of the year.
And then she received her fourth on-stage trophy of the night for female artist of the year. “I’m trying to get to say something but I can’t,” she said while her voice cracked. “I would not be standing up here without the encouragement of so many women.”
