Ella Langley Says Viral Pot-Stirring Video Featuring Kaitlin Butts’ “You Ain’t Gotta Die (To Be Dead To Me)” Was Completely Innocent

The truth comes out.

Around the time of the ACM Awards in May, rumors started swirling about what may or may not be going on between Riley Green, Megan Moroney and Ella Langley… a classic love triangle, if you will.

It first started when fans were convinced that Riley and Ella, duet partners on the hit “You Look Like You Love Me,” were an item, or had at least some sort of fling or something of that nature. They shut that idea down pretty much from the get go, and Riley has said before that Ella is “too smart” to date him, adding that they knew going into it that the song would cause conversation about their relationship status. They were fully expecting fans to embrace the love story, or the idea of it, the same way they did for legendary country music couples like George Jones and Tammy Wynette.

Ella herself said many times that they were just very good friends, but it still wasn’t enough to convince the world that they were not together, and rumors continued for months about the two of them, until Megan got involved due to some vacation breadcrumbs where she was seemingly with Riley. Moroney confirmed they happened to be on vacation in the same place, but also shut down the thought that they were seeing each other in a romantic capacity.

“He was individually on his vacation with his friends. St. Barts is a popular place! It’s one of those things where if you know someone on a small island, you’re like, ‘Oh, s***, you’re here too.’ So it was fun. Just because we’re hanging out doesn’t mean we’re romantically dating. You know what I mean?”

As a result of all of this, people thought that Ella and Megan might have some drama going on too, and there were countless videos where fans were explaining their theories about this non-existent love triangle, and it got really out of hand… but Ella only added fuel to the online rumors when she shared a video using sound from Kaitlin Butts’ song “You Ain’t Gotta Die (To Be Dead To Me)” which includes the lines:

“I think I have heard of that man,
I think I heard he got run over by a train,
Mauled by a bear, maybe, hopefully
You ain’t gotta die to be dead to me”

She was in her kitchen, literally stirring a pot with some kind of sauce, while mouthing the words with a whole lot of sass… keep in mind, this was at the height of all the rumors about her, Megan and Riley:
