Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen have history
Over the last three years, Ella Langley has supported Morgan Wallen as he toured, and while working alongside one another, they formed a close bond that allowed Morgan an up-close look at her rise to fame. During an episode of Morgan Wallen Radio on Sirius XM, Wallen shared his admiration for the singer. “You know, we’ve kind of had a front row seat to seeing her from very early on,” he shared as reported by Holler. “I know how hard she’s worked, I know how long she’s been working at it, I believe since she was, you know, 17 or 18 years old, not getting to do all the things that most 17 and 18 year olds and on get to do.”
He continued, “I know how much of a sacrifice she’s made to get to this point and it makes me extremely happy to see all the good things coming her way. She truly deserves it.”
Despite Morgan’s clear faith in Ella, that didn’t stop her from feeling the nerves in full force during the times in which she joined him on stage for his song “What I Want” while touring with him. Originally a duet between Wallen and Tate McRae, Ella lent her voice to the track during live performances, but during an appearance on This Past Weekend with Theo Von, the revealed that she often messed up the words.
“I messed up the words almost every single time,” she shared. “I’ve never been so nervous to go out and do something. I just felt like I could throw up before I walked out there every time. I could not remember those words.” She continued, “You go through this tunnel, and you’re playing in the stadium. It’s the most people you’ve ever been in front of. You’re walking out with Morgan Wallen. Everything gets dark, and there’s smoke everywhere and you got to walk out—and I’m in pointy heels and there’s grates out there, so you got to make sure you’re not falling down in those. You get up and then, here you go. You get one shot at it. There’s no practice, too.You get like one rehearsal, you go out there and it’s like, okay. But doing it in front of 80,000 people is different than at 2:00 p.m. in the middle of the day.”
