Country singer Ella Langley is going viral after an awkward interaction with a fan outside her September 24 show in Knoxville, Tennessee.
A fan shouted through a parking-lot fence and asked how many likes it would take for him to get a date with her. Langley responded with a serious expression, saying, “Not enough in the world.”
The brief exchange quickly spread online, with some viewers criticizing the singer for what they considered a harsh response. Others defended her, saying she had every right to reject a stranger’s invitation.
Langley later addressed the criticism herself in the comments, explaining that her response was not intended to be taken literally.
“It was meant to come off as dark humor. You said that and it got quiet and I got nervous.”
The moment comes as Langley continues to make headlines with her hit song “Choosin’ Texas,” which recently reached a historic Billboard milestone.
