Ella Langley lightly referenced Doja Cat’s remark that she did not know who the country singer was, captioning an Instagram post: “Ella Langley? What is that?” The response appeared humorous rather than confrontational, following online attention to Doja Cat’s candid criticism of Langley’s music and country music more broadly.

Doja Cat first made the comment during an appearance on Sundae Conversation, then listened to Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” on a livestream. She praised Langley’s voice and called the song catchy, but said country music was not her preferred genre; meanwhile, the song has spent 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, tying “Old Town Road” for the second-longest run at the summit.
