00:00We got Ella Langley here. Yes, now we have Ms. Ella Langley. Come on down, Queen.
00:04Good, how are you? Okay.
00:06Tell us what it means to be honored with the Powerhouse Award tonight.
00:10I feel like it means kicking down all those doors for so many years did not go to waste.
00:16I'm just excited to be here with so many women that I not only admire but look up to
00:21and just to get to see everyone in person and just be in a room full of people that I
00:26admire so much.
00:27Yeah, absolutely. Amazing. Well, first of all, congrats on your first number one album.
00:31How exciting. Dandelion, which topped the Billboard 200.
00:35What has surprised you most about Dandelion and its popularity?
00:38Probably the whole thing.
00:40You said all of it.
00:41All of it. I think you hope for the best when you're putting out music,
00:44but for me, I'm just making music that I love and that I want to sing every night
00:49and to see what this record has done and continues to do blows my mind.
00:55I don't think you can ever expect something to do what Choose in Texas has done or, you know,
01:00going to, you know, just every day it feels like my birthday almost.
01:04Oh, that's beautiful.
01:06It's kind of nice. It's kind of nice.
01:07What happens when you break records on the charts?
01:09Right. That's why when you're a powerhouse, period.
01:11Gray hairs come with it as well. You know what I mean?
01:14Okay, I have a fun Yahoo fan mail question for you.
01:16If you could collab with any woman in music, either here or not, who would you choose?
01:21Any woman in music ever?
01:22Yeah, ever.
01:24Just one?
01:26It's your world. I'm living in it.
01:27Okay, if I'm just going off the top of my head, the first person I thought of is Rihanna.
01:31Oh, great one.
01:32That would be crazy.
01:33Imagine you resurrected her music career.
01:34Oh, no. I think all she would have to do is show up at all.
01:38Just hang out.
01:39Just hang out or just breathe onto the track.
01:41Honestly, it would go to Rihanna.
01:43I would love that.
01:44Oh, that's a great one.
01:45Well, thank you so much for your time.
01:47Congrats on your powerhouse award and your number one album.
01:49How exciting.
01:50Oh, my gosh. I hope you have the best night.
01:51I'm going to.
01:52Yeah, you do.
01:53Get in there, queen.
