Ella Langley might be one of the biggest up-and-comers in today's country music scene but no matter how famous she's become—or how many ACM Awards she's won—she's still just a 26-year-old woman. And one that likes Bath & Body Works, at that! Over the weekend, the 'you look like you love me' singer performed at the Sand In My Boots music festival on the beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama. When she walked off stage, she sauntered over to the Bath & Body Works immersive Come Back to Your Senses pop-up, where she reflected on what the nostalgic fragrance brand means to her. While chatting with fans, Ella revealed some of her favorite scents. Where Fresh Balsam reminds her of her mom and Christmastime, Sweet Pea instantly transports her back to seventh grade. Meanwhile, Ella says that if you want to know what a studio in Nashville, Tennessee smells like, Mahogany Teakwood is your answer. 'At The Beach?

Lainey Wilson talks impostor syndrome, new single "Somewhere Over Laredo" and finding her "Duck"
Country music star Lainey Wilson has had a whirlwind year. She is fresh off winning four 2025 ACM Awards, including Entertainer of the Year, has just released her new single "Somewhere Over Laredo," and is recently engaged to former NFL player Duck Hodges. Despite all of this and her success, she told "CBS Mornings" she still has impostor syndrome. "At the end of the day, I think everybody is human, and I've absolutely dealt with it," she said. "You know what I've realized over the past year, especially, is that if you're given a gift and you have worked toward receiving that gift, it's important to accept it with an open heart and open mind." The artist praised her fiancée, Hodges, calling him one of her "biggest cheerleaders." "He's the kind of dude that just, he high-fives me on the way in the door and on the way out. He played professional football, and he knows what it's like to work your entire life for something. And so he gets it," Wilson said. "So I had to kiss a bunch of frogs, but I finally found me a duck." Wilson is also venturing into acting, following her appearance on "Yellowstone." She said she never expected to pursue acting but welcomed the creative challenge. "I never in a million years thought I'd be doing movies or acting of any sort. I signed up to write songs and sing country music," Wilson said. "But I feel like there's been so many opportunities that have popped up that I'm like, gosh, I'd be crazy not to take this opportunity." The singer's upcoming North American tour will feature arena and amphitheater performances, a significant step up from her earlier days playing in bars. "It's really wild to watch the crowds get bigger. I feel like, you know, as they do, my team also gets bigger," Wilson said. Why "Somewhere Over Laredo" is her most personal song yet Wilson said the inspiration for her latest song came during her frequent travels. "I spend a lot of my time, 30,000 feet in the air, flying to the next show, the next town. And you know, when you're staring out the window, you get to just spend a little bit of time with yourself and reminisce and dream, talk to God, all of those things," Wilson said. The singer said the song allowed her to "step back into a pair of shoes that I wore a long time ago" and called it one of her favorite songs that she has have ever written. Wilson will perform "Somewhere Over Laredo" live for the first time at the American Music Awards on Monday on CBS and streaming on Paramount+

Country Star Ella Langley Looks Unrecognizable in Video Shared Before Getting Bangs
"You Look Like You Love Me" singer Ella Langley looked like an entirely different person before getting bangs, and she is here to confirm that the bang-less version of herself will never make a return. For those who are unfamiliar, Langley is country superstar with a sensational future ahead, rapidly rising to success at the end of last year due to her oh-so popular duet with Riley Green: "You Look Like You Love Me." Her newest single, "Weren't For The Wind" — stemming from the deluxe version of her sophomore album, hungover — is making waves as we speak. Now, with a schedule jam-packed with sold-out shows — on the heels of her five ACM Awards wins — it doesn't seem like Langley isn't slowing down anytime soon. With music aside, in a recent interview with 100.7 The Tiger — a radio station in Baton Rouge, Louisiana — the 26-year-old was asked whether or not the bangs are here to stay. She swiftly replied, " I do not think I can get rid of the bangs. I don't think I would now. It really does fit my face... Plus, who needs Botox when you have bangs?" "It's funny now when I see myself without them," she added, immediately shuddering at the thought of herself without her now-signature hairdo. Naturally, fans took to the comment section of the video to hype up Langley, taking both her beauty and her sense of humor into consideration. "She is hilarious," one TikTok user wrote, while another added, "Not many people can pull of bangs, but Miss Ella Langley can." After making these comments to 100.7 The Tiger, fans could not help but take a deep dive into Langley's hairstyle history, eager to uncover an old photo or video of the "Weren't For The Wind" singer before getting bangs. Needless to say, the fans were successful. Back in 2023, Langley gave a tattoo tour while wearing a Harley-Davidson tee shirt, sharing said tour via TikTok. While the talented singer/songwriter looked as stunning as can be in the video, just one thing was missing from her grungy yet gorgeous look: bangs. Beautiful both ways, Langley looked unrecognizable just a couple of years ago! Don't just take it from us, though. To see the bang-less version of Ella Langley for yourself, check out the TikTok video below.

Ella Langley Talks Full-Circle Sand in My Boots Set and 'Living Her Biggest Dream' with Miranda Lambert (Exclusive)
Ella Langley opens up about her full-circle moment playing Morgan Wallen's Sand in My Boots Festival Langley says sharing the stage with Miranda Lambert at the 2025 ACMs was like "living her biggest dream ever" The "Weren't for the Wind" singer reveals what love smells like at Bath & Body Works' activation at the inaugural music festivalElla Langley is a country fan's dream girl! On Saturday, May 17, the "Weren't for the Wind" singer caught up with PEOPLE at the Scent x Sound Lab by Bath & Body Works after her rocking performance at Morgan Wallen's inaugural Sand in My Boots Festival. For Langley, who's an Alabama native, this was a full-circle moment. "I used to go to Hangout [Music Festival]. That was the thing I did for my senior graduation," Langley, 26, tells PEOPLE of the music festival, held at Alabama's Gulf Shores. "We didn't go on a senior trip. I went to Hangout, and every year I go on vacation down here." The "Hell of a Man" singer continues, "It's just cool to be included on this first year of Sand in My Boots. It's definitely going down in history what this festival's going to do." During her set, Langley performed a series of her songs including "Weren't for the Wind," "Country Boy's Dream Girl," "Nicotine" and "Hungover." Later that afternoon, she came out during Riley Green's set for a performance of their award-winning collaboration "You Look Like You Love Me" and "Don't Mind If I Do." Last week, Langley was the most-nominated artist at the ACM Awards. She took home five trophies for New Female Artist of the Year, Single of the Year, Music Event of the Year and Visual Media of the Year. She also took the stage with Miranda Lambert to perform her 2005 hit "Kerosene." Reflecting on that moment, Langley says Lambert has always served as an inspiration. "There's a ridiculous amount of highlights of that whole entire week," she says of the ACM Awards. She continues, "But performing 'Kerosene,' I already knew that I was going to do 'Weren't for the Wind' but when we got asked to do 'Kerosene,' God, I was like, 'It just made the night so much better for me because I got that initial fear out' — and that was our first time performing together. It felt like a 12-year-old kid living her biggest dream ever on stage." Growing up, Langley admired the "Bluebird" singer for her strength and independence. "She is who she is and she doesn't apologize for that," Langley explains of Lambert. "She stands up for herself, but she also stands up for others she believes in. And that's just always been apparent by watching her as a young artist. So I'm really grateful to get to work alongside her." On her collaboration with Bath & Body Works, Langley says the company's scents have always brought a feeling of memory and nostalgia. When asked what love smells like, Langley says "it depends on the day." "Sometimes it smells like mahogany tea, wood, kind of sexy. And then some days it smells like strawberry shortcake," she says. She concludes, "And let me tell you, some days it smells like rain. And that's just the truth." Read the original article on People
