on May 21, 2026
Ella Langley is pulling back the curtain on her time at the 2026 ACM Awards.
This year’s ACM Awards aired on Sunday, May 17th. Langley was one of the top artists in attendance, with seven nominations under her belt. She ended up winning every award she was nominated for, breaking the record for the most ACM Awards won at a single ceremony.
Langley was also part of the all-star performance lineup. She delivered a unique, unplugged version of her current single, “Be Her.”

To celebrate her milestone night at the ACM Awards, Langley shared a video highlighting some behind-the-scenes events and exchanges that fans didn’t see on TV.
The video has its fair share of funny and unfiltered moments. One clip shows Langley in an elevator as she turns to the camera and says, “Don’t be afraid of embarrassing yourself.”
Then, it cuts to a clip of her dropping one of her trophies in the press room after the show (granted, she had SEVEN of them!) That was followed by a return to the elevator video, where Langley remarked she was “probably gonna” embarrass herself that night.
One of the more meaningful clips shows Langley’s team celebrating backstage after she was named the Female Artist of the Year. You can tell they were overjoyed for her!
Later in Langley’s video, we see her getting her hair and makeup done. She asked her team if they’ve seen that her hit song, “Choosin’ Texas,” has the perfect beats-per-minute for CPR.
After singing “Choosin’ Texas” for a bit while making chest-compression motions, she started singing the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive,” which is more commonly known as a CPR song.
From there, Langley played “Stayin’ Alive” over the other clips she shared in her ACM Awards compilation. Watch it below!
