Ella Langley is making music history without leaving behind the faith, values and traditional sound that first won over fans.
Throughout her rise, Langley has continued to publicly discuss her Christian faith and Alabama upbringing while releasing music firmly rooted in traditional country.
Veteran country music journalist Marcus K. Dowling told Fox News Digital that Langley's appeal isn't a departure from country music's traditions but rather an extension of them.
Langley's growing mainstream appeal has drawn comparisons to Taylor Swift's crossover from her country music beginnings to global pop stardom.
"Langley is more true to country music, than Swift ever was in her early days," Eldridge said.
