Doja Cat Gives Blunt Review of Ella Langley's 'Choosin' Texas' During Livestream
During a Tuesday night livestream, Doja Cat listened to Ella Langley's 'Choosin' Texas' for the first time and admitted she doesn't care for country music. She praised Langley's voice but said the song is not her vibe, stopping after about a minute and 17 seconds. The track has spent 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, a run Doja Cat acknowledged.
Doja Cat’s livestream reaction came after she admitted during a weekend interview that she didn’t recognize Langley, despite the country track’s historic chart run. The song’s 19-week Hot 100 reign ties it with “Old Town Road” and “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” for the longest non-holiday stretch at No. 1. Doja, who has two Hot 100 toppers of her own, stopped the playback at 1:17, though she acknowledged the melody’s catchiness and Langley’s vocal quality. Her upcoming Tour Ma Vie World Tour begins in Detroit on Oct. 1.
Doja Cat’s blunt dismissal may highlight a growing genre divide in pop’s mainstream, where country’s recent dominance on the charts clashes with hip-hop’s traditional influence. Her comments could spark debate among fans about musical taste versus objective quality, but they may also simply reflect personal preference—underscoring that even record-breaking hits don’t resonate universally. The exchange might encourage more cross-genre dialogue, though its impact likely stays within fan communities rather than shifting industry trends.
