Ella Langley ‘May Never Recover’ From Matthew McConaughey’s ‘Tonight Show’ Cover of ‘Choosin’ Texas’
Jimmy Fallon's suggestion box remained undefeated on Wednesday night's (Aug. 12) show.
Ella Langley, the 27-year-old singer, has been dominating the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart this summer with her hit "Choosin' Texas," which has been at the top for 17 consecutive weeks. However, on Wednesday night, August 12, her summer reached a new level of excitement when a legendary figure, Matthew McConaughey, covered her song on The Tonight Show.
The cover was part of the show's Audience Suggestion Box bit, where McConaughey, after watching a viewer's suggestion, joined a performance with the Last Bison, an indie folk trio. McConaughey, dressed in a brown vest and pants, played the mandolin while Fallon strummed a washboard and joined in on the chorus, "she's from Texas I can tell."
The performance left Langley in awe, who posted on Instagram, "I may never recover from this." The timing was perfect for Langley, who will be playing in McConaughey's hometown of Austin, Texas, at the Moody Center on August 13, just days before the release of his first film, "The Rivals of Amziah King."
