Fans packed into Exit/In on both Thursday (Oct. 31) and Friday (Nov. 1) night for two sold-out shows from breakout country star Ella Langley.
On Halloween evening, Langley was joined by Carter Faith and Madeline Edwards. Faith and Meg McRee supported her on Friday night.
When Langley hit the stage, she got the Friday crowd pumped with single “Paint The Town Blue” before thrilling them with “Country Boy’s Dream Girl” and “Nicotine.” It was clear she was ready to celebrate her first headlining tour stop in Nashville from her charming interactions with the crowd and the energy in her performance.

“I’ve been dreaming of this shit my whole life,” Langley said at one point before she and her band took a shot out of a “drinking horn.”
Langley encouraged the room to get rowdy, covering Gretchen Wilson‘s “Here For The Party” with verve. She brought McRee back out to perform “I Blame The Bar” from her 2024 album Hungover, which the two co-wrote with Chris LaCorte and Joybeth Taylor.
The fans that gathered to see Langley completely bought-in to the Alabama native’s charisma, wit and talent. The gals in the crowd pumped their fists to “Better Be Tough,” pointing up at Langley while she sang “you ain’t seen crazy ’til you seen me all pissed off comin’ down your street.” They showed the same enthusiasm for “Girl Who Drank Wine,” a creative triumph from her Hungover record.
Langley took a few moments throughout the show to share her gratitude for the journey she’s been on since arriving in town in 2019. “I wouldn’t be here without the people who believed in me,” she said, encouraging any artists in the room to find their tribe. She then played “If You Have To,” her first breakout song, for her OG fans.
The singer-songwriter commanded the room with an acoustic guitar on “Cowgirl Don’t Cry” and “Girl You’re Taking Home.” She then brought McRee, Faith and Maggie Antone out for a spirited sing-along of “Cowboy Friends,” which made for one of the night’s highlights.
After the Exit/In audience showed Langley some love with their volume on her newly-released “Weren’t For The Wind,” they turned it up to 10 when it came time for her smash hit “You Look Like You Love Me,” which hit the top of the MusicRow Radio Chart that morning and is well on its way on Billboard and Mediabase charts.
Langley delivered both the sung and spoken parts of the tune like a pro, all through a glittering grin. A fun treat for attendees, she shared the original second verse of “You Look Like You Love Me” that was in place before Riley Green added his part to the hit.
With a smile and a wink, Langley left the stage only to return for an encore.
She will continue “The Hungover Tour,” all of which sold out in 24 hours, on Nov. 7 and 8 in Texas. She will also support Cody Johnson’s “Leather Tour” on Nov. 9 in Arlington, Texas.
