Ella Langley has been forced to cancel a handful of shows amid illness.

The 26-year-old country singer, who broke out with her Riley Green duet "You Look Like You Love Me," shared the news with fans in an Aug. 11 Instagram post.

"I'm so sad to be posting this," Langley wrote. "The past several weeks have been tough. I've been fighting sickness and feeling more run down than ever. After a lot of thought, I've made the hard decision to take a couple of weeks to rest and focus on my health — mind, body, and heart."

She added: "I want to be fully present for all the moments ahead, and I know I can't do that without first taking care of myself."

The ACM-winning singer stressed that people should listen to their bodies and hearts when they're "telling us to slow down."

She ended her post with a Bible quote from Matthew 11:28: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

Among Langley's canceled concerts is her Aug. 19 performance at The Listening Room Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee, as well as two shows opening for country star Morgan Wallen in Ohio and dates in Montana, Idaho and Colorado.

Langley said she will be back on the road in September. Her first date next month is Madison, Illinois, on Sept. 7, which will be followed by two appearances on Wallen's I'm The Problem Tour in Canada and several more dates on Langley's The Still Hungover Tour.

Langley's star has continued to rise after her hit "You Look Like You Love Me" earned her a slew of awards at the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards, including new female artist of the year and single of the year.

The Alabama native released her debut album "Hungover" in August 2024 after breaking into the music scene in 2021 when she went viral on TikTok for her track "If You Have To."

As she's gained momentum, Langley has opened for artists including Wallen, Green, Jon Pardi, Cody Johnson and Dierks Bentley and embarked on two tours in promotion of "Hungover."
