In an interview with Variety, Ella Langley shared what artists she would love to work with - Rock star Stevie Nicks, Country troubadour Chris Stapleton, and multi-faceted artist Harry Styles.

2026's highly acclaimed country superstar has been reflecting on her year thus far - Langley's massive year of success has felt like nothing short of a dream scenario, and after her hit song 'Butterfly Season' with country icon Miranda Lambert, Langley has been daring to dream even bigger in terms of collaborations.

The 'Be Her' crooner's list of potential collaborators ranges between soul, pop, country, and unwavering rock and roll - and with Langley's music already bending into other genres, it may be safe to predict one of these dominating any future project.

The uniqueness behind Langley's music, or today's country in general, can be chalked up to a deep appreciation it seems many artists have for multiple genres. It's clear to see Langley's appreciation is kindred, as the artists she has her highest hopes on all branch off into different styles so unapologetically.

A world with a song that holds the names of both Ella Langley and Stevie Nicks is one that we certainly want to live in - Nicks was one of the most powerful rock stars of her time, with her influence remaining relevant today. Songs such as 'Silver Springs' are virally used on social media platforms, touching the lives of younger generations - people that are coming up amidst the rise of Langley. It seems fitting that the biggest female voice in rock and roll would team up with the biggest female voice in country, and even though we're dreaming the same as Langley, that collaboration would undoubtedly shock the world.

As for musical sensation Harry Styles, there is no real telling what a collaboration between Styles and Langley would sound like. After One Direction, Styles' solo career has consisted of the soft-rock melodies of his self-titled album and ventured all the way to the experimental pop sounds of his most recent Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally project. In terms of sound, perhaps a song with Langley would fall somewhere between his self-titled and Fine Line projects, with her sound fitting within the soft grooves and honest songwriting of both.

Of course, any song with Chris Stapleton would be an absolute ear worm for fans of both him and Langley. This ideal collaboration seems a tad more tangible than anything else, as Stapleton seems to often be down for a good feature - such as his most recent help with Mumford & Sons' hit single 'Here.' Stapleton's impressive range would complement any melody Langley would carry on a potential song with the 'White Horse' hitmaker, their voices meshing together amazingly with potential for possible elements of true soul music in the track.

With the bar Langley is constantly exceeding, a future collaboration with these artists, or any artist of their status isn't out of the ballpark - and whether we see her dream collaborations come to fruition, here at Holler we're excited for any and all future projects Langley may have up her sleeve.
