If anyone needed proof that Miranda Lambert and Ella Langley are exactly as country as fans imagine, their latest story might settle the debate once and for all.
During a candid conversation with Reba McEntire, the two stars shared a hilarious behind-the-scenes moment from a recent songwriting session that quickly turned into something nobody expected: a competition to see who could be more “redneck.”
According to Langley, the pair were in the middle of writing songs at Lambert’s farm when she spotted a snake and immediately jumped up to try and catch it. What happened next left everyone laughing.
Lambert apparently walked outside carrying a shotgun.
Before anyone panics, the snake survived the encounter.
Lambert later joked that they were simply “trying to out-redneck each other,” while Langley admitted she had no idea the singer was heading outside armed and ready for action. In the end, Langley scared the snake away before Lambert got a chance to take aim, something Lambert jokingly admitted she wasn’t thrilled about.
The story is just the latest example of the close friendship that has developed between the two country stars.
Over the past year, Lambert has become one of Langley’s biggest supporters, helping mentor the rising singer and collaborating on music together. Their friendship has grown far beyond professional respect, with both women frequently praising each other’s talent, honesty, and determination.
Lambert even helped produce Langley’s breakout album Dandelion, which has become a major success and further cemented Langley’s place among country music’s fastest-rising stars.
Still, it’s stories like this one that fans seem to love most.
In an era where celebrity interactions can often feel carefully scripted, hearing two country stars casually swap stories about chasing snakes around a farm feels refreshingly authentic.
And judging by the reaction online, fans can’t decide which part is funnier:
The fact that Langley tried to catch the snake herself…
Or the fact that Miranda Lambert apparently saw a snake and immediately thought, “Where’s my shotgun?”
