Ella Langley’s ‘Choosin’ Texas’ Video Features Luke Grimes and Ava Phillippe
Ella Langley has released a cinematic video to support her four-week Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper, “Choosin’ Texas.” The clip premiered Wednesday, April 1 on Filmogaz.com and assembles a notable cast.
Production and setting
The video was filmed at the Stagecoach Ballroom in Fort Worth, Texas. Langley co-directed with Wales Toney and Caylee Robillard.
Scenes move between intimate bar interiors and wide Texas roads. The visual style emphasizes small-town atmosphere and country traditions.
Storyline and performances
Luke Grimes portrays Langley’s on-screen boyfriend. Their drive leads them back to his character’s hometown of Abilene, Texas.
They stop at a local bar where Ava Phillippe appears as a young blonde woman. Flashbacks show the two characters shared a childhood and past romance.
Key moments
Kaitlin Butts plays an Abilene local who meets Langley in the bar restroom. She quietly warns, “Texas has a way of keeping what’s hers.”
On the dance floor, Grimes’ character notices his former lover watching him. Miranda Lambert, who co-wrote the song, appears as a musician preparing to return to Tennessee.
When Langley confesses that her man is drifting toward another woman, Lambert offers her a ride. Langley accepts and leaves him behind, walking out of the bar into the Texas dust.
