Drake turned up as an enthusiastic Ella Langley fan in Arkansas, singing, dancing and applauding as the country star performed her chart-dominating hit “Choosin’ Texas.”
Drake was spotted at Ella Langley’s sold-out Dandelion Tour concert at Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock, Arkansas, on Saturday, August 22. According to Complex, the Toronto rapper appeared on the venue’s big screen while singing and dancing along as Langley performed “Choosin’ Texas.”
Fan footage from the night also showed Drake applauding and blowing a kiss during the song, adding another public display of support for Langley. The Arkansas appearance came less than a week after he praised the country singer’s songwriting on Instagram, writing “Goated pen” beneath her recap of recent Texas tour dates.
Drake’s appreciation for the record predates the concert. He previously played “Choosin’ Texas” while DJing at a Houston club, while Langley has also shown love to his catalog by sharing a TikTok of herself lip-syncing to Drake and Lil Wayne’s “HYFR (Hell Ya F***ing Right).”

The mutual admiration has attracted extra attention because the two artists have also crossed paths on the charts. “Choosin’ Texas” has spent 18 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, while Drake’s “Janice STFU” briefly interrupted Langley’s run at the top before her single returned to the summit.
Langley’s Arkansas date was part of The Dandelion Tour, with ERNEST and Laci Kaye Booth listed as special guests for the North Little Rock stop. The show took place one night after Langley’s Illinois State Fair performance and ahead of a pair of scheduled dates at Neville Arena in Auburn, Alabama.
Drake’s latest appearance is likely to keep collaboration talk alive, but neither artist has announced a joint record. For now, the moment stands as a high-profile crossover between two artists enjoying major chart success in 2026, with Drake making his support for Langley clear from the crowd.
