Ella Langley seems to be having fun with her quick rise to superstardom.
The "Choosin' Texas" singer posted a carousel of new photos and videos to social media this week, and in her caption, she seemed to poke fun at another artist's apparent dismissal of her accomplishments.
"Ella Langley? What is that?" she wrote, appearing to reference comments made by pop singer Doja Cat earlier this week.

During an appearance on the "Sundae Conversation" podcast, Doja Cat was asked if she was a fan of Langley, to which she responded, "I don't know what that is."
She sounded out her name a couple of times, and when the podcast hosts suggested she listen to Langley, telling her that she'd like her, she said, "OK."
Her comments earned mixed reactions, with some praising her for being authentic in her response about Langley and others accusing her of lying about not knowing who she is.
On Aug. 25, she went live on Instagram, per E! News, and spoke further about Langley and her comments on the podcast.

Doja Cat said that Langley is "probably a fine lady," but "I don’t care for that type of s— at all. It doesn’t inspire me, it doesn’t make me feel good."

According to E!, she listened to "Choosin' Texas" on the stream, then said, "This is not my vibe, but she has a very pretty voice. If this is No. 1 on the charts, I’m sure it’s on the radio. I could see them playing this s— on the radio. I don’t like it, but that’s fine. It’s very earwormy it sounds like, it’s like [a] catchy melody. I get it, and she’s pretty."
