Ella Langley Says She’s Ready To “Get Back At It” After Taking A Month Off From Touring To Rest & Recover

Caylee Robillard

Back at it.

Last month, Ella Langley announced to fans that she would be taking the month of August off from the road to “rest and focus on health — mind, body, and heart,” which was part of a lengthy post on Instagram sharing the news.

She didn’t get overly specific as to her reasoning, aside from saying she’s been fighting sickness, explaining that, in general, she feels overwhelmed and needs some time off. She also quoted the Bible verse Matthew 11:28, which talks about being “weary and burdened,” so it seemed to me this might have had more to do with something mental and emotional, in addition to any physical sickness she might be fighting.

Of course, life on the road is very tough, and there could be many reasons as to why she made this decision, which I’m sure she didn’t do without a lot of thought and consideration because most artists will do anything before they cancel a show.

Ella has had a heck of a year already, and earlier this summer, she scored her second #1 hit with “Weren’t For the Wind,” following her mega viral hit with Riley Green “You Look Like You Love Me.”

In addition to all of her success with music, Ella has been dealing with rumors about her personal life, which really hit a fever pitch around the time of the ACM Awards in May. Rumors started swirling about what may or may not be going on between Ella and Riley Green, and while she obviously didn’t say anything about him or anything having to do with him in her statement, I’m sure all the fan theories are being concocted right now about how he might be involved.

Ella has been thrust into the spotlight this year, and she mentioned around the time of the ACM Awards, where she had a huge night, how hard it was for her mentally so I think there was a lot of factors that went into this decision, and you can read her full statement here:

“I’m so sad to be posting this. The past several weeks have been tough. I’ve been fighting sickness and feeling more run down that ever. After a lot of thought, I’ve made the hard decision to take a couple of weeks to rest and focus on my health — mind, body, and heart.

I want to be fully present for all the moments ahead, and I know I can’t do that without first taking care of myself. Sometimes we have to listen when our bodies and hearts are telling us to slow down. I’m so grateful for your understanding and your love — it truly means the world to me. ‘Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.’ Matthew 11:28.”

She missed several shows with Morgan Wallen, in addition to the shows with Riley Green where she has been serving as direct support on his Damn Country Music Tour:

And today, Ella posted on Instagram for the first time in a while, saying she is ready to get back on the road, adding how “grateful” she was to have had some time to slow down and appreciate “all of the amazing things happening in my life.” She thanked her fans for allowing her the time to step back, and also for all of the love and support in terms of her decision:

“Couldn’t be anymore grateful to have had some time to slow down and see all of the amazing things happening in my life. Also, I have the best family and friends a girl could ask for. Truly.

Thank y’all for allowing me this time too and all of the messages that were sent in love and support. Time to get back to it.”

Ella shared a carousel of photos from her time off, seemingly hanging out with her family, being by the water and just slowing down and enjoying the change in pace:
