Source: Rolling Stone · November 5, 2026
Ella Langley's song 'Choosin' Texas' has taken on a new meaning as the anthem for the political revolution in Texas, following the state's midterm elections.
The song was played during various victory celebrations and events for governor-elect Gina Hinojosa and U.S. senator-elect James Talarico, including a video showing them sharing a victory toast at Whataburger.
The song's popularity and association with Texas have made it a natural fit for the political movement, with many memes and TikTok videos using the song to celebrate the election results.
The song's meaning has evolved beyond its original intent, with some rewriting the chorus to reflect the political shift in Texas, such as 'Choosin' Blexas'.
This development matters to listeners because it highlights how music can become intertwined with cultural and political movements, taking on new meanings and significance beyond the artist's original intention.
