Ella Langley officially has another fella in her fandom. Morgan Wallen recently brought his Still the Problem Tour to Baltimore, Maryland, and the “Choosin’ Texas” singer was tapped to open the show.
After Langley’s time on stage, Rex Ryan, a former NFL coach who won a Super Bowl as part of the Baltimore Ravens staff in 2000, took to X to praise the singer.

“Look, I’ve been around football my whole life. I’ve coached in Baltimore, won a lot of games, and seen some incredible performances,” Ryan wrote. “But let me tell you something… Ella Langley had Baltimore in the palm of her hand tonight.”
He added, “As the kids say, I’m officially an Ella Fella. I don’t make the rules.”
Ryan also shared two photos from the show. There was one pic of Langley performing and another of him wearing an “Ella’s Fellas” shirt.
