Ella Langley concluded her 2026 Dandelion Tour on Saturday, Oct. 31, with a performance in St. Paul, Minn. The show served as the final stop for a run that kept the artist on the road since May.

The venue featured a themed Halloween presentation. Langley’s band and crew voted on a concept for the performance and selected Toy Story. She appeared onstage as Jessie, wearing a cow-print outfit, a Western shirt, and a red wide-brimmed hat.

Members of her band joined her in costume, dressing as Woody and Buzz Lightyear. The visual theme aligned with the country aesthetic of her recent work.

The tour supported Langley’s album Dandelion. The project includes the tracks "Choosin' Texas," "Lovin' Life Again," and "Be Her." These songs contributed to her momentum in the country music industry this year.

Langley has earned nine nominations for the 2026 CMA Awards, the highest total for any artist in this year’s cycle. Two of her tracks from the Dandelion album, "Be Her" and "Choosin' Texas," are both nominated for Single of the Year. She is also a first-time nominee for Entertainer of the Year.

The St. Paul show marks her last performance for the year. Her tour calendar currently shows no scheduled dates until May 2027. However, the singer indicated she plans to return to the road next year.

Speaking earlier this month about her touring habits, Langley said, "Am I going on tour next year? Have I gone on tour every year? Of course! Who would I be? Who would I be if I didn’t go to sleep at terrible hours and go to sleep in a different state every night?"
