Ella Langley, the country singer behind the runaway hit “Choosin’ Texas”, is reportedly romantically linked with fellow musician Tucker Wetmore as the single continues its unprecedented run at the top of the charts.
Dating reports follow awards-night sighting
Multiple outlets, including TMZ and People, reported this week that Langley, 27, and Wetmore, 26, are officially dating. Photographs published by TMZ show the pair leaving the Nashville Songwriter Awards together on Tuesday. According to People, the two were earlier seen together at a bar in the British Virgin Islands late last year, a moment that helped spark speculation about a relationship.
A representative for Langley did not immediately reply to requests for comment, the reports said.
Chart history and a record-breaking run
Langley’s single has not only become a cultural talking point but is rewriting chart history. Billboard chart data shows “Choosin’ Texas” has now spent 23 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, surpassing the previous high of 22 weeks held by Mariah Carey’s seasonal classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
The song first entered the Billboard Hot 100 in November 2025, weeks after its release, and has grown from there into a persistent chart-topper. Langley celebrated the milestone in an Instagram video posted this week, visibly moved as she thanked fans and collaborators for their support.
“I feel like I don’t even know what to say at this point. I’m running out of hyperboles to describe how I feel… Thank you so much. It’s changing my life,” Langley said in the Instagram clip, which was shared as the record was broken.
Her comment noted the personal and professional impact of the song, acknowledging writers, family and the broader team who have benefited from its success.
- Relationship details: Reported by TMZ and People; sightings include the Nashville Songwriter Awards and a late-2025 outing in the British Virgin Islands.
- Chart milestone: 23 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, overtaking a 22-week run by Mariah Carey’s holiday classic.

What this means for Langley and country music
The combination of a high-profile personal development and a record-breaking single can amplify a performer’s visibility across radio, streaming and live bookings. For Langley, whose single ascended rapidly after its late-2025 emergence on the Hot 100, the success confirms crossover appeal beyond traditional country audiences.
Industry watchers note that prolonged chart dominance often leads to increased opportunities for festival billing, award-season attention and sync placements, although those outcomes depend on a range of factors including management strategy and public appetite for follow-up releases.
| Song | Weeks at No. 1 |
|---|---|
| Choosin’ Texas (Ella Langley) | 23 |
| All I Want for Christmas Is You (Mariah Carey) | 22 |
Both the romantic reports and the chart feat were carried by several national outlets this week. The dating account relies on the photographs and reporting assembled by those outlets; Langley’s own Instagram remarks remain the clearest direct statement from the artist on the chart milestone.
As Langley navigates newfound, larger-scale attention, the coming months will show whether she can sustain the momentum with new material and how public interest in her private life develops alongside her career. For now, the headlines are a mix of romance and record books — a familiar pop-culture pairing that has been kind to some artists and complicated for others.
