Country singer Ella Langley cancels several shows after 'fighting sickness'
The 26-year-old country singer, who broke out with her Riley Green duet "You Look Like You Love Me," shared the news with fans in an Aug. 11 Instagram post.
"I'm so sad to be posting this," Langley wrote. "The past several weeks have been tough. I've been fighting sickness and feeling more run down than ever. After a lot of thought, I've made the hard decision to take a couple of weeks to rest and focus on my health — mind, body, and heart."
She added: "I want to be fully present for all the moments ahead, and I know I can't do that without first taking care of myself."
Ella Langley sweeps 2025 ACMs: Country breakout star wins big
The ACM-winning singer stressed that people should listen to their bodies and hearts when they're "telling us to slow down."
She ended her post with a Bible quote from Matthew 11:28: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Among Langley's canceled concerts is her Aug. 19 performance at The Listening Room Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee, as well as two shows opening for country star Morgan Wallen in Ohio and dates in Montana, Idaho and Colorado.
Langley said she will be back on the road in September. Her first date next month is Madison, Illinois, on Sept. 7, which will be followed by two appearances on Wallen's I'm The Problem Tour in Canada and several more dates on Langley's The Still Hungover Tour.
Langley's star has continued to rise after her hit "You Look Like You Love Me" earned her a slew of awards at the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards, including new female artist of the year and single of the year.
The Alabama native released her debut album "Hungover" in August 2024 after breaking into the music scene in 2021 when she went viral on TikTok for her track "If You Have To."
As she's gained momentum, Langley has opened for artists including Wallen, Green, Jon Pardi, Cody Johnson and Dierks Bentley and embarked on two tours in promotion of "Hungover."

Swifties Defend Taylor Swift's Controversial Album Art
Taylor Swift revealed the artwork for her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, and some people aren't fans of what they're seeing. On Wednesday, Taylor shared details about her twelfth studio album, including the cover art, tracklist, surprise features, and the release date. "And, baby, that's show business for you," Taylor wrote on her Instagram post, which has amassed over 9 million likes. The album is set to release on Oct. 3 and feature producers Max Martin, Shellback, and Taylor herself — the same team behind some of her biggest hits on 1989 and Reputation. It will include 12 tracks, with a special collaboration from Sabrina Carpenter, who also opened for Taylor during her Eras Tour. Here's the official tracklist:1. "The Fate of Ophelia"2. "Elizabeth Taylor"3. "Opalite"4. "Father Figure"5. "Eldest Daughter"6. "Ruin the Friendship"7. "Actually Romantic"8. "Wi$h Li$t"9. "Wood"10. "CANCELLED!"11. "Honey"12. "The Life of a Showgirl (Feat. Sabrina Carpenter)" And while we don't know what the songs are about just yet, that hasn't stopped fans from theorizing about the meaning behind them — and, I have to admit, the theories are really good. Taylor has been through a lot since her Eras tour, from new love to possible friendship breakups, so it will be interesting to see what gets addressed. In fact, Taylor shed some light on The Life of a Showgirl while appearing alongside her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, on the New Heights podcast, which he cohosts with his brother, Jason Kelce. During the 2-hour long conversation, she shared a ton of behind-the-scenes details about herself, their relationship, and, of course, her music. Despite the comments being turned off on her Instagram, fans found other outlets to express their excitement, including X (better known as Twitter): "Taylor teaming up with Max Martin and Shellback again? This is about to be a pop masterpiece for the ages." "SO PROUD OF YOU SHOWGIRL!!!!!" "And suddenly I'm off work that day." "So so so excited for this new era! Thank you for sharing your words and your feelings with us !!!" "NEW TAYLOR ALBUM LET'S GOOO." But along with the love she was being showered with, there also came backlash. Some people weren't impressed by the way Taylor was dressed in her various shots for her album, with one commenter even claiming that the multi-Grammy winner is "not a model I want my young daughter to idolize anymore." Others believed she was trying to mimic other popular artists like Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, and more with her showgirl outfits: But the reactions didn't stop there: Fans on Reddit were not feeling the criticism and called out the pressure parents place on celebrities to "help raise" their children, and the hypocrisy women go through as they're expected to mature in their work but not in their looks. I'm going to have to side with the positive comments here. Women, let alone female celebrities, should be allowed to experiment and grow with their art. Expecting artists to look the same and produce the same art over and over again is unrealistic and unfair. Taylor has always been open about the various stages she's going through in life, and this is no different. Whether you love her, hate her, or hate to love her, Taylor will always find a way to get the people talking!

Sobbing influencers blame ChatGPT for ruining a dream vacation
AI is only as intelligent as its users. An influencer couple has gone viral after missing their flight to Puerto Rico — thanks, they claim, to a visa mix-up caused by ChatGPT. An influencer is claiming that ChatGPT gave her the wrong information for her international trip, which caused her to miss her flight. Getty Images Advertisement In a now-viral TikTok video, which has clocked over 13 thousand views, Mery Caldass — a content creator with nearly 100,000 followers — can be seen in tears, roaming the airport as her boyfriend, Alejandro Cid, tries to console her. 'Look, I always do a lot of research, but I asked ChatGPT and they said no,' Caldass, speaking Spanish, tearfully explains, referring to whether the couple was required to obtain a visa to visit Puerto Rico. However, if they had checked official government sites, they would have learned that while Spanish citizens don't need a visa, they do need an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization). Advertisement Unfortunately for the couple, they relied on artificial intelligence without fact-checking it. Adding some comic relief to her meltdown, Caldass accused ChatGPT of holding a grudge. 'Look, I always do a lot of research, but I asked ChatGPT and they said no,' Mery Caldass tearfully explains, referring to whether the couple was required to obtain a visa to visit Puerto Rico. TikTok/merycaldass 'I don't trust that one anymore because sometimes I insult him. I call him a bastard, you're useless, but inform me well … that's his revenge.' Advertisement Some users have applauded her ability to find humor amid her devastation. Others were less forgiving. @merycaldass si hay una revolución de las IAs voy a ser la primera 4niquil-hada🧚♀️ ♬ sonido original – Mery Caldass 'Well, natural selection, I guess,' wrote one unimpressed commenter. 'If you are going to take a transoceanic trip and you put all your advice in ChatGPT, little has happened to you.' Another added, 'But who trusts ChatGPT for those types of situations?' Advertisement To be fair to the AI, some commenters defended ChatGPT, pointing out that the couple may have simply asked the wrong question — they didn't need a visa, but they never asked about an ESTA. The pair eventually made it to the island to catch a show by one of their favorite artists, Bad Bunny. Caldass and Cid's travel tragedy follows hot on the heels of other AI horror stories. Dangerous advice from ChatGPT recently landed a 60-year-old man in the hospital with hallucinations, instructed 13-year-olds how to get drunk and high, and sabotaged women by advising them to ask for lower salaries.

From one WAG to another.
