Country star Ella Langley opened up about the intense criticism she’s faced during a recent stop on her Dandelion Tour in Columbus, Ohio. During an emotional speech, she said she’s dealt with constant opinions about virtually everything she does — from her appearance and clothes to the way she talks, sings, performs and writes music. She admitted the scrutiny initially made her question whether she could handle fame, saying she got into music because she loved performing, not because she wanted every move analyzed. Langley said her outlook changed when she thought about her younger self — the version of her who spent years traveling in a 15-passenger van and Honda Accord, living on bar food and tip money while chasing her dream. She told the crowd she’s now proud of that younger version of herself rather than letting the criticism define her.
