Ella Langley Reveals Growing Bucket List of Career Dreams: ‘SNL’ Appearances, Selling Out Stadiums, and More

Ella Langley has quickly become one of the fastest rising forces in country music and between her chart success and major award wins, it’s clear she isn’t slowing down anytime soon. In fact, she seems to have a constantly growing bucket list that keeps getting bigger and bigger as her career continues to soar.

Just after dropping her latest album, Dandelion, Billboard released an interview with the Woman In Music Powerhouse Award recipient, where she reveals some of her future career goals.

First on the list is to be a musical guest on SNL (Saturday Night Live) before eventually taking it a step further and hosting the show one day. The live sketch comedy and variety show that airs weekly on NBC has become known for having major celebrities guest star as hosts, make surprise cameos and even host, making it a highly sought after gig.

Numerous country music stars have appeared on the show over the years, from Luke Combs to Blake Shelton, Garth Brooks, Morgan Wallen, Dolly Parton and so many more. It’s safe to say Langley has a good shot at making her own cameo on SNL one day. But only time will tell.

If Langley were to land the rare opportunity of appearing in a skit, that could put her one step closer to crossing off another goal of getting into acting in the near future. Once again, the cross over between being a country singer and getting behind a camera is pretty common. Especially with western shows like Yellowstone, 1883, Marshals and more, which have featured a variety of singer/songwriters from the genre like Lainey Wilson, Riley Green, Tim McGraw and more.

“I’d love to start doing that in the next year.”

Another item on Langley’s list is selling out stadiums as a headliner. And not just one—she clarified that she wants to do it at “more than one” of the massive venues.

“That’s always been my goal. People in the beginning always used to ask me, ‘how far you want to take this thing?’ I guess as far as it lets me go and to me that’s a stadium. So that’s my big one,” she noted.

In terms of shows, Langley admits there are “so many” venues that she still has yet to cross off her bucket list including the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

 “I want to headline Red Rocks. I’ve opened Red Rocks, but I’ve never headlined Red Rocks.”

Her live shows could also be adding an extra member to the band in the future that would elevate the performance level even more. Langley says she hopes to “have a saxophone in my band.”

These are just a few of the many aspirations that the “Lovin’ Life Again” singer dreams up on a daily basis.

“I could keep going on my goals. I really think of plenty more every day. At this point I’m just going to start reaching for the stars, literally,” she added.

Over the weekend, Langley crossed off some major milestones at the ACM Awards. She walked away the most-awarded artist of the night with seven trophies, and a win in every category she was nominated in.

As she continues to collect these major awards, break records, and check off more milestones, she says she’s most excited to see how fans embrace this new chapter of her career and everything still to come.
