Country star Ella Langley shut down a fan’s date inquiry with a blunt response that’s going viral on social media.
In footage circulating via TikTok, a fan shouts through a fence, “Ella, how many likes to take you on a date?” after her Knoxville, Tennessee, show on Sept. 24.
The “Choosin’ Texas” hitmaker, 27, shot the content creator — who goes by the user name Tiki — a deeply disappointed look before responding, “Not enough in the world.”
She then shook her head in dismay and turned away from the camera as members of her band looked on.
After audibly sighing, Tiki turned the camera on himself in the clip, quipping, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
He seemingly took a protective stance as he turned away from the country star himself, crossing his arms over his chest.
Fans took to the comments thread with varied responses, with one person quipping, “she didn’t say the universe though.”
Another chimed in sympathetically, “this made me like her even more. It’s not her job to be nice to random men. She set her boundary, respect it.”
Others wondered why the impromptu date proposal “made her so mad,” and one suggested fellow late country star Dolly Parton “would’ve said something funny.”
Yet another noted that “being screamed at 24/7 would get irritating.”
In a subsequent video, Tiki shows a comment purportedly left by the country superstar, which read: “This was definitely meant as dark humor, and it obviously didn’t land due to my face.”
“I will say, it takes more than likes on a tik tok,” she added in the comment, which appears to have been deleted. “I’m still human.”
The viral video comes after a report claimed the “Be Her” singer is dating fellow country star Tucker Wetmore.
Sources confirmed to People on Wednesday, after the Sun reported the duo quietly snuck out of the Nashville Songwriter Awards together.
Photos published by TMZ showed the performers leaving the Ryman Auditorium together that evening.
“Tucker was hiding out backstage waiting for Ella to finish at the award presentation,” a source divulged to the Sun. “They snuck out of the venue together.”
Insiders told TMZ that their alleged romance “has been going on well before” their Nashville sighting, and that they met through mutual friends in the music industry.
Langley has also been confronting her fears, as she took to TikTok on Tuesday with a video of herself nervously holding a snake around her neck.
“This is facing my fears a little bit,” she said as she was handed an Argentine boa in the clip. In the footage, she also sat next to a baby kangaroo on a couch and hosted a yellow and green parrot on her shoulder.
“Welcome to today: exotic animal edition 🐍,” she captioned the clip.
