Ella Langley's 'Choosin' Texas' gets a very Vols reaction ahead of Tennessee-Texas game. Watch

Ella Langley headlined Food City Center for the first time. During her concert, she was jokingly booed while singing "Choosin' Texas" ahead of Tennessee's matchup against Texas.

Ella Langley, a popular country singer, performed at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tennessee on September 24. As her first headlining show at the venue, the event drew a large crowd. However, when Langley performed her hit song "Choosin' Texas," a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 song for 23 consecutive weeks, Vols fans in attendance let her know their preference was for Tennessee football.

The fans jokingly booed Langley, expressing their loyalty to the University of Tennessee. Despite the boos, Langley remained composed and continued with the song, even pausing to emphasize the lyrics "Cause his heart still belongs to the Lone Star State." The game between No. 13 Tennessee and No. 1 Texas on September 26 has generated significant buzz, attracting ESPN's College GameDay, President Donald Trump, and other high-profile figures. The matchup is expected to be one of the biggest weekends for University of Tennessee fans.
