Last night at Billy Bob’s Texas, the world’s largest honky-tonk, Ella Langley delivered a show her Fort Worth fans won’t soon forget. As part of her Still Hungover tour across Texas, the Alabama native gave the sold-out crowd an unforgettable treat by bringing out Koe Wetzel mid-song for a fiery live duet of “That’s Why We Fight.”
Originally released as the lead single from her EP Excuse the Mess, Langley has called it one of the most intense, “toxic” songs she’s ever written—a track about a love that thrives on passion, tension, and the push-pull of a relationship that’s both messy and magnetic. She explained:
“‘That’s Why We Fight’ is about one of those relationships where fighting is the thing that keeps you together. Your significant other is your favorite person to fight with. It adds a little spice and keeps things interesting. I wouldn’t recommend a relationship like this, but we’ve all had one. I’ve been a fan of Koe for a long time, and it was really cool he jammed on it.”
With Koe’s distinctive twang layered in, the studio hit turned into a live powerhouse that had the crowd roaring. Wetzel stepped on stage just before the second verse and stayed for the rest of the performance, feeding off the energy of the packed honky-tonk and giving fans a duet that felt just as electric as the original recording.
It was the perfect climax to this leg of Langley’s Texas tour, a high-energy performance that reminded everyone why That’s Why We Fight remains a fan favorite. Fans in Fort Worth are already buzzing about the unforgettable moment, sharing clips online and proving that live country music magic is very much alive.
