Country star Ella Langley returned to Auburn University for two sold-out shows at Neville Arena, turning her latest performances into a major full-circle moment.
After the back-to-back concerts, Langley shared photos and videos from the shows on Instagram and thanked the Auburn community for making the weekend special.
“War Eagle baby! Two nights sold out at Neville Arena was such a full circle moment ?? Thank you, Auburn,” Langley wrote.
The shows held special meaning for Langley because Auburn University is her alma mater. Before her rise to country music fame, she spent her college years at Auburn and got her start performing at local bars in the area.

Her return came as her career continues to reach new heights. Langley’s hit song “Choosin’ Texas” has been dominating the Billboard charts, adding another major moment to an already important year for the country singer.
View this post on InstagramAccording to Whiskey Riff, Langley’s two Auburn concerts were both sold out at Neville Arena, where she performed in front of fans on the campus where she once studied.
Her connection to Auburn goes beyond being a former student. Langley was also a member of the Phi Mu sorority while attending the university. During her return, she surprised the sorority and spent time with the girls, taking photos, videos and answering questions.
The visit gave Langley a chance to speak about what she has learned during her career and as she has moved into her later 20s.
She shared advice about taking care of herself physically and mentally, something she said she wishes she had focused on earlier in her 20s.
“Something that I’m doing in my later 20s and something I wish I would’ve done in my earlier 20s is really take care of myself physically and mentally. And showing up for myself before always having to show up for everyone else.”
Langley also told the group that caring for yourself should not bring feelings of guilt.
@kabatikkin1@Ella Langley PHI MU LOVES UUUU!!! #auburn #ellalangley #dandelions

She also encouraged the women to find people they can trust and build strong connections with others.
“And that’s what’s so cool about being in a sorority is you find those people. God put you here for a reason… find your people and take care of yourself.”
The Auburn concerts also became especially meaningful because they took place shortly after the death of country music icon Dolly Parton at age 80.
During her Friday night show, Langley performed Parton’s classic song “Jolene” as a tribute.
A fan who shared footage from the concert said Langley introduced the performance by explaining, “Tonight’s show didn’t feel right without doing something like this.”
@emily.these.daysLast night in Auburn, @Ella Langley said, “Tonight’s show didn’t feel right without doing something like this” and proceeded to sing “Jolene” in honor of @Dolly Parton. One of my favorite moments from the night ? #ellalangley #dollyparton #concert #auburn #fyp

“Dolly, thank you for standing up for yourself as an artist, a songwriter, a musician, a producer, an author, a creative, and most importantly, a woman in this industry.”
She continued, “You paved the way for so many to be brave. Thank you for being unafraid to show your most authentic self. The world needed Dolly and will never see another like it. The gates of heaven just welcomed home a beautiful soul.”
The tribute added another emotional moment to a weekend that was already important to Langley because of her connection to Auburn.
“Choosin’ Texas” also leads five Billboard charts, including the Billboard Hot 100, Streaming Songs, Hot Country Songs and Country Streaming Songs charts.
The song has also returned to its previous peaks on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts.
