Nobody has announced a special guest, and there&#8217;s no confirmation that\u00a0Langley will be there.<\/p>\n<p>But after looking at the connection between these two artists, I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised at all if Langley made a surprise appearance.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, I think there are a few pretty good reasons it could happen.<\/p>\n<h3>Miranda Lambert and Ella Langley Have Been Making a Lot of Music Together<\/h3>\n<p>First, there&#8217;s the obvious connection: &#8220;Choosin&#8217; Texas.&#8221; The most popular song in recorded music history. If Lambert and Langley performed that song in Texas, the roof would come off of the stadium.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not the only reason I&#8217;m thinking about this.<\/p>\n<p>The two women have continued working together since that song. Lambert co-produced Langley&#8217;s <em>Dandelion<\/em> album, and the pair also recorded &#8220;Butterfly Season&#8221; together.<\/p>\n<p>They recently teamed up again on &#8220;Snakeskin Boots,&#8221; which opens Lambert&#8217;s new album, <em>Crisco<\/em>. In fact, Lambert said they wrote the song with Ella in mind and described the two of them as &#8220;kindred spirits.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Why wouldn&#8217;t Lambert bring her kindred spirit on stage with her to rock everyone&#8217;s world?<\/p>\n<h3>Cowboys Fans Were Already Guessing Ella Langley Could Be Involved<\/h3>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another reason I think it&#8217;s worth talking about.<\/p>\n<p>Before the Cowboys announced Miranda as the halftime performer, fans were already throwing Langley&#8217;s name into the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>One fan responding to a Cowboys halftime-show teaser wrote, &#8220;I have a feeling it&#8217;s going to be Ella Langley.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Read More:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/tasteofcountry.com\/miranda-lambert-blake-shelton-divorce-songwriting\/\" target=\"_blank\">Miranda Lambert Admits Her Divorce From Blake Shelton Was \u2018Not a Fun Time\u2019<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Another fan agreed, saying it was the only person who made sense based on how big she is right now.<\/p>\n<p>After\u00a0Lambert was officially announced, the\u00a0Langley guesses didn&#8217;t stop, they actually got more frequent.<\/p>\n<div class=\"branded-app-shortcode-inarticle\">\n<div class=\"logo-wrap\" rel=\"fwef\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/townsquare.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tasteofcountry.png?w=100\" alt=\"Taste of Country logo\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>On the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/De7Gstsvs0U\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cowboys&#8217; Instagram announcement<\/a>, one commenter wrote, &#8220;It should have been Ella Langley or [Lainey] Wilson.&#8221; Another fan commenting on a separate Dallas-area post simply said, &#8220;Bring ELLA LANGLEY.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There was even some discussion on Reddit about the possibility. One fan pointed out that Ella could still show up because Miranda co-wrote &#8220;Choosin&#8217; Texas.&#8221; Another responded, &#8220;Why not both.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:500px\" data-embed-height=\"739\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/cowboys\/comments\/1xec4cf\/thanksgiving_halftime_show_teaser_whos_in_the\/\">Thanksgiving Halftime Show Teaser &#8211; Who\u2019s in the Saddle?<\/a><br \/>by<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Altruistic_Elk9678\/\">u\/Altruistic_Elk9678<\/a> in<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/cowboys\/\">cowboys<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Obviously, a few social media comments don&#8217;t mean anything has been planned. But it&#8217;s interesting that fans were thinking about Ella even before Miranda&#8217;s name was revealed.<\/p>\n<p>Again, I&#8217;m not reporting that Langley is confirmed for the Thanksgiving halftime show. I&#8217;m simply connecting a few dots, and I think there&#8217;s a pretty good case for it.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys have Lambert booked.\u00a0Lambert and\u00a0Langley have a growing musical partnership. And fans are already asking for the two of them to share the stage.<\/p>\n<p>I wouldn&#8217;t be shocked if Langley walks out on stage at AT&amp;T Stadium on Thanksgiving Day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"photogallery-wrapper blog-photogallery \">\n<h2 class=\"photogallery-title\">15 Photos That Show Ella Langley Through the Years<\/h2>\n<div class=\"photogallery-description\">\n<p>Ella Langley has changed so much over the years \u2014 and it&#8217;s not just the bangs!
