Ella Langley has returned to social media after taking a brief break from performing. The country singer shared her first post since stepping away from the remaining shows in August to focus on her health.

In her new social media post, Langley thanked her friends, family, and friends for sticking by her side to allow her the time she needed away from the spotlight.

“Couldn’t be anymore grateful to have had some time to slow down and see all of the amazing things happening in my life,” she wrote. “Also, I have the best family and friends a girl could ask for. Truly. Thank yall for allowing me this time too and all of the messages that were sent in love and support. Time to get back to it.”

Along with her heartfelt message to fans, the Alabama native shared photos and videos from her time off the road, showing moments spent horseback riding, reading the Bible, cooking, and enjoying snuggles with her dogs. 

On August 11, she shared a raw and honest message with fans, revealing plans to cancel all of her remaining August performances after experiencing a challenging few weeks. 

“I’m so sad to be posting this. The past several weeks have been tough. I’ve been fighting sickness and feeling more run down than ever. After a lot of thought, I’ve made the hard decision to take a couple weeks off to rest and focus on my health – Mind, body and heart. I want to be fully present for all the moments ahead, and I know I can’t do that without first taking care of myself,” her statement began.

Though stepping away was a tough choice, Langley emphasized how important it was to take time for her own healing.

“Sometimes we have to listen when our bodies and hearts are telling us to slow down. I’m so grateful for your understanding and your love – It truly means the world to me,” Langley added before writing a Scripture verse from Matthew 11:28 that reads, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Now rested and refreshed, Ella Langley will return to the road on September 7 in Madison, IL, followed by performances with Morgan Wallen on September 12 and 12 in Edmonton, Canada. After her performances with Wallen, Langley will return to her headlining tour for the remainder of the fall, which includes stops in Houston, Texas, Athens, Georgia, and back-to-back sold out shows at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.
