Ella Langley may have had more outfit changes at the ACM Awards than most hosts do, but one element remained with her for most of the night and that was her bolo necklace.
What Was So Special About Ella Langley’s Necklace at the ACM Awards?
The piece glinted and glittered so much underneath the stage lights and flashing cameras that we almost missed the fact that it was a dandelion.
A perfect fit for the country singer whose new album is called Dandelion.
Who Made Ella Langley’s Dandelion Necklace?
Langley’s necklace comes from Kendra Scott’s Yellow Rose collection. The bolo-style necklace featured 18K yellow gold fashioned to look just like the bloom of a dandelion with yellow diamonds to really set it off.
The dandelion rested on a platinum necklace encrusted with diamonds. The ACM Female Artist of the Year also wore a matching ring.
Jewelry designer Kendra Scott has a strong country music connection: She’s engaged to Zac Brown of the Zac Brown Band!
Why Did Ella Langley Choose the Name Dandelion for Her Album?
Choosing the name Dandelion for her new project was personal for Langley. She was drawn to the symbolism surrounding the plant.
“Dandelions are masters of survival, thriving in even the harshest environment,” she said in a video announcing the album. “Often dismissed as a common weed, this unassuming plant carries a deeper symbolism of hope, healing and resilience.”
The name has also proven to be poetic, given her first album was called Hungover. In an interview on This Past Weekend with Theo Von, she talked about the moment she learned dandelion root tea is often used to detox the liver.
“When I heard that, it was like a lightbulb went off over my head,” she shares. “It was like, ‘Oh my God, a record called Dandelion after a record called Hungover.’ It’s like, you’re just growing up.”
The “Be Her” hitmaker also told Cody Alan on SiriusXM that if her first album was the one that brought fans to the table, she wants this project to “be the one that makes them sit down and eat.”
Langley’s Dandelion album arrived on April 10. Her tour of the same name kicked off on May 7 with dates running through Aug. 15.
