Fans continue to beg Clarkson to release a country album.<\/p>\n

Kelly Clarkson\u00a0put her own spin on\u00a0Ella Langley\u2019s chart-topping hit, \u201cWeren\u2019t For The Wind,\u201d during her \u201cKellyoke\u201d segment on\u00a0The Kelly Clarkson Show<\/em>, and fans are loving it.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Clarkson is known for covering songs across nearly every genre on her show, but there\u2019s something extra special when she delivers a country song. As a Texas native, it\u2019s in her roots, and for years, fans have been begging her to release a full-length country album. While she has dabbled in the genre through collaborations with Jason Aldean, Reba McEntire, and others, a complete project has yet to happen.<\/p>\n

As fans await that day, which honestly may never come, they can always count on her to deliver country hits on \u201cKellyoke,\u201d and her cover of Langley\u2019s hit did not disappoint. The performance even caught the attention of Langley herself, who called it \u201cInsane\u201d and added a few mind-blown emojis, clearly shocked that an iconic artist like Clarkson was covering a song she co-wrote.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Of course, Clarkson\u2019s rendition was flawless and warmly received by fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has ALWAYS made singing any song, any category absolutely effortless,\u201d one fan wrote, while another shared, \u201cEvery country Kellyoke convinces me the most that we need a whole country album.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWeren\u2019t For The Wind\u201d was Langley\u2019s first solo No. 1 single and\u00a0second career No. 1\u00a0overall, following \u201cYou Look Like You Love Me\u201d featuring Riley Green. Langley co-wrote the song with Joybeth Taylor and Johnny Clawson, with Will Bundy producing.<\/p>\n

When the song topped the charts, Langley shared a heartfelt post thanking everyone who has supported her along the way, giving a special shoutout to her co-writers.<\/p>\n

Langley enjoyed an incredible 2025, capping off the year with two sold-out shows at Nashville\u2019s iconic Ryman Auditorium and a standout night at the 59th Annual CMA Awards, where she took home three awards. She also wowed fans with a performance of her red-hot new single, \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas,\u201d which is quickly climbing the country radio charts.<\/p>\n

2026 is already shaping up to be a big year for Langley, who has teased that new music is on the horizon.<\/p>\n
