Ella Langley is choosin’ inspiration from all over the place.
In fact, the “Choosin’ Texas” singer revealed that the hit song was actually inspired by one of fellow country singer Miranda Lambert’s experiences with her pet kangaroo.
“Miranda had a pet kangaroo, and she got pulled over with a kangaroo in her car,” Ella exclusively shared with E! News at Billboard’s Women in Music event in Los Angeles April 29. “And she had Texas plates in Ohio or somewhere.”
As the 26-year-old recalled of the story, the cop who’d pulled her over told Miranda that “of course” she had Texas plates, adding “‘She’s from Texas, I can tell.’”
That phrase stuck with Ella and ultimately led to the song off her second album Dandelion, which includes the lyrics, “She’s from Texas, I can tell by the way / He’s two-steppin’ ’round the room.”
With a laugh, Ella admitted to E!, it was “all because of a kangaroo.”
