Ella Langley Hopes To Act In A Horror Movie One Day: “That’s One Of My Big Goals”

Caylee Robillard

Ella Langley has hopes of acting one day… but maybe not in the genre that you’d think. The pipeline from singing to acting feels like it’s happening more and more these days, with many country music stars venturing beyond the stage to a set, making their acting debuts.

From Lainey Wilson first starring in Yellowstone to soon making her feature film debut in Colleen Hoover’s Reminders of Him, and Riley Green entering the Taylor Sheridan sphere with his Marshals acting debut, to Jelly Roll appearing in CBS’s Fire Country, it’s a common career addition for many country singers.

And another country music star is sharing her dreams of making her acting debut as well.

It’s no stretch to say that Ella Langley is not only the hottest country artist on the planet right now but also one of the hottest artists in all of music. Riding the momentum gained throughout 2024 and 2025, due to her smash hit with Riley Green, “You Look Like You Love Me,” Langley shattered any previously set career expectations upon the release of her all-genre #1 hit, “Choosin’ Texas.”

“Choosin’ Texas” became Langley’s first career #1 hit on the aforementioned Hot Country Songs chart. In turn, it became the fastest solo female song to reach the top 10 at US Country Radio this decade, taking just eight weeks to crack the Top 10. The hit song also went #1 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. In turn, she became just the seventh female artist IN HISTORY to go #1 on the Hot 100 with a country song. Additionally, she became the first woman ever to triple up and score #1s on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, and Hot 100 chart simultaneously.

In case you were wondering just how rare the feat was, Langley became just the seventh female artist IN HISTORY to go #1 on the Hot 100 with a country song.

Ella Langley is crushing it, to say the least, but even with the massive amounts of success she’s achieved in the country realm, she’s also thinking about what could come next for her and her career. Recently on The Jesse James Morning Show, Langley revealed that she hopes to appear on the big screen one day.

But Langley does not have dreams of getting her start on a Western-related TV series, as many of her country music colleagues do. She hopes to make her acting dreams come true by appearing in a much different genre.

“(A) Thriller probably first, maybe. But I really want to do a horror movie. That’s like one of my big goals. Like an old school horror movie, not like this stuff that you can’t put on and let your daddy walk through the room.” 

I didn’t peg Ella Langley as a horror movie fan, but based on the clip, it seems she’s into classic thrillers with a spooky twist, not the jump-scare-filled horrors that end up in theaters today.

I feel like Langley would crush a role like this, and I hope that her dream of starring in a film like this comes true one day. Perhaps she already has something in the works, and we can see Ella Langley on our TV or movie screens soon.
