Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” commands strong trader consensus in the VMA Best Country category thanks to its record-shattering run atop the Billboard Hot 100, including 22 weeks at No. 1 and Billboard’s Songs of the Summer crown. The track’s crossover appeal, viral TikTok traction, and multiple ACM wins for song and single of the year have built overwhelming momentum ahead of the September 27 ceremony. Fellow nominees such as Kacey Musgraves’ “Dry Spell,” Lainey Wilson’s “Somewhere Over Laredo,” Luke Combs’ “Back in the Saddle,” Shaboozey’s “Cowgirl,” Stella Lefty’s “Boston,” and Tucker Wetmore’s “Brunette” received nods when nominations dropped in August, yet none have matched Langley’s sustained chart dominance or broad cultural footprint in the intervening weeks. Fan voting closes September 25, leaving little time for late momentum shifts.
