When the 2026 CMA Awards nominations were announced on Thursday (Sept. 10), Ella Langley became just the eighth artist in CMA history to land two single of the year nominations in the same year. Interestingly, the first five times this happened, it involved male artists. The last three times, it has involved female artists.

Langley is nominated both as artist and co-producer of her hits “Choosin’ Texas” and “Be Her.” She co-produced both hits with Miranda Lambert and Ben West.
