Fans of Ella Langley and Riley Green know them best for their hit duets, especially “You Look Like You Love Me.” Their onstage chemistry has sparked all kinds of fan theories—some think they’re dating, others believe they may have in the past. Regardless, their performances have always felt magical. So when Riley invited Dasha to perform Ella’s parts during a recent show, some fans weren’t happy.
Ella Langley explained her absence on Instagram, sharing that she’s taking a break after a long summer tour. “The past several weeks have been tough. I’ve been fighting sickness and feeling more run down than ever. I’ve made the hard decision to take a couple of weeks to rest and focus on my health—mind, body, and heart,” she wrote. She added a note of gratitude for fans’ understanding, emphasizing the importance of listening to your body and heart.

At the LASSO Music Festival, Dasha joined Riley on stage to sing multiple songs, including “You Look Like You Love Me” and “Don’t Mind If I Do.” A TikTok video of her performance quickly circulated, and reactions were mixed. Some fans criticized Riley for performing with anyone other than Ella, while others took aim at Dasha herself, commenting on her singing and style.
