Ella Langley is at the top of country music right now - and she's using that position to bring others up with her.
Since releasing "Choosin' Texas," Langley has been breaking records across the board - surpassing Taylor Swift for the longest-running country Number One, becoming the first female artist to simultaneously top the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and Country Airplay charts, and taking home seven ACM Awards.
Now, as her Dandelion headlining tour rolls on, she's making another statement: every single opener is a woman.
Langley has recruited Gabriella Rose, Kaitlin Butts, Avery Anna, Laci Kaye Booth, and Madeline Edwards to open for her across the tour, which kicked off in May and runs through August, wrapping in Texas.
This isn't a one-night showcase. Every date on the Dandelion Tour uses a female opener - making it the operating model for the entire headlining run, not a single gesture.
The women on the bill have taken notice. Kaitlin Butts says Langley is "a role model for what skyrocketing with grace looks like," while Madeline Edwards praised her for curating an experience that "really makes the audience feel something - real recognizes real."
The Dandelion Tour is Langley's first arena headlining run, spanning 16 shows across 12 states and concluding August 15 at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.
