Ella Langley has won the love of her fans and the respect of her peers. For instance, the "Choosin' Texas" singer took home five ACM Awards back in May, which is nothing to sneeze at.

And those singers who blazed the trail for Langley are starting to take notice. In fact, one '90s country music legend recently sang her praises. We have the details below.
This Artist Believes Ella Langley "Commands Respect"
As reported by PEOPLE, Shania Twain was recently asked if seeing Langley's success reminded her of her rise to fame in the 1990s.
"I see her as an authentic songwriter," said the "Any Man of Mine" singer. "She sounds original."
But Twain didn't stop there. She continued to heap praise on Langley.
"That's already a bonus, right? So we already can hear the difference, and she really does seem very unapologetic," she added. "That commands respect. I sense that in her, in her aura, and her persona, and the way she delivers a song. I believe what she's saying."
Langley Feels the Same Way About Shania Twain
Twain's interview comes after Langley posted a cover of her hit "You're Still the One" on TikTok. She captioned the post, "I'll never get over this song."
Twain replied in the comments with, "So flattered. Loved getting to connect at ACMs xx"
And as Langley said back in June, she is focused on staying grounded as her stock in Nashville continues to rise.
"It's really important for me to work with people that let me be myself and really let me showcase my artistry in the way that I feel is authentic to me," she explains.
But Langley says staying true to herself is easier said than done. Despite her success, she is still trying to figure things out.
"I'm not a perfect person, and I don't know the answer," said Langley. "I'm pretty much winging it every day of my life."
She then added, "I'm just trying to answer the questions and do things the way that one day when I look back, at least I did it the way that I thought was right in my gut. Staying true to that is what's keeping me sane."
