Ella Langley Says That Miranda Lambert Played A Big Part In Helping Her Get Through The ACM Awards
During ACM Awards night, Ella Langley had said that she was struggling with major imposter syndrome as she kept winning award after award.
Thankfully, she had the support of friends in the industry who understand what that feels like, especially Miranda Lambert.
In a recent interview, Ella shared that Miranda helped coach her through the hectic night.
“She’s someone, I mean, I talked to her yesterday on the phone and she’s always somebody… You know, she’s been here before, and there’s not really a rulebook to everything,” Ella said.
Thankfully, Miranda’s life advice has helped her navigate the ups and downs that come with rising fame.
“And I think everyone’s experience is much different, but yeah, she can definitely have some advice on, ‘Well, this is what I’ve been doing, and this is how I felt,” she continued. “So, in a day, as massive as performing on the ACMs with somebody you’ve looked up to for so long, she just was very comforting and like, ‘You belong here, you belong here.’ She kept killing the imposter syndrome in my brain.”
