Introduction
What better way to celebrate a hit song’s anniversary than with a rising star? Country music artists Ella Langley and Riley Green recently invited an incredibly talented young fan, seven-year-old Cecilia, to join them on stage to sing their duet ‘You Look Like You Love Me’ at the Barefoot Country Music Fest.
The special performance marked the one-year anniversary of their popular collaboration, and it was also a birthday celebration for Cecilia, who was turning seven! Ella Langley shared the heartwarming moment on Instagram, posting an adorable video on Sunday, June 22, with the caption: “Miss Cecilia, the birthday girl helped me & @rileyduckman celebrate one year of ‘you look like you love me’ last night.” Riley Green himself commented that the young singer “stole the show,” and it’s easy to see why!
Cecilia’s journey to the main stage began a couple of weeks ago when a video of her singing Ella Langley’s song with an impressive southern twang went viral. Ella herself reposted the video, captioning it, “Me and this girl are same same,” which further amplified Cecilia’s budding talent to a wider audience.
Cecilia’s mother, Ally, had originally posted the video with a special request. On June 13, she appealed to new fans on TikTok to help “make some birthday magic happen” for her daughter. Ally’s message read: “Ella Langley reposted and commented on a video of my daughter singing her heart out to ‘you look like you love me!’ — her FAVORITE song! Cecilia is turning seven soon, and her biggest birthday wish is to get a special shoutout from Ella herself… She adores her music, cute outfits, and sings it non-stop around the house! Let’s see if we can make some birthday magic happen. @Ella Langley, if this finds you — we’d be forever grateful for a quick birthday wish for your biggest little fan!”
It’s clear that Ella’s team went above and beyond a simple birthday message, orchestrating an unforgettable experience for their biggest little fan!
