This past Sunday at the ACM Awards, Ella Langley made a major sweep, winning in all seven categories she was nominated for. The Alabama native entered the night with seven nominations across artist, producer, and songwriter fields, and left as a seven-time winner — taking home Artist-Songwriter of the Year, Song of the Year for “Choosin’ Texas” (as both artist and songwriter), Single of the Year for “Choosin’ Texas” (as artist and producer), Music Event of the Year for “Don’t Mind If I Do” with Riley Green, and Female Artist of the Year.

Before her historic night, the previous record for most ACM Awards won in a single ceremony was six, held by Garth Brooks (1991), Faith Hill (1999), and Chris Stapleton (2016).

Langley’s standout year has also been fueled by the massive success of her hit single “Choosin’ Texas,” which has broken multiple records. It currently holds the longest run at No. 1 by a female country artist on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, staying at the top for nine weeks. It is also the only country song by a female artist to simultaneously reach No. 1 on the Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and Country Airplay charts, and only the seventh solo female country recording in history to top the Hot 100.

All of this comes shortly after the release of her album Dandelion, which includes her take on the classic “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels.” Langley has often spoken about her deep roots in traditional country music, and today she continued that theme by sharing a new acoustic cover of Freddy Fender’s “Wasted Days and Wasted Nights.”

Originally written in 1959, the song has a long and evolving history in country and crossover music, with various versions over the decades from artists including the Sir Douglas Quintet, Freddy Fender’s 1975 hit rendition, and later covers by artists such as Charley Crockett and LeAnn Rimes.
