A red hat, cow print and a Western shirt turned Langley’s Halloween finale into a group Toy Story tribute, with Woody and Buzz Lightyear joining the stage theme.
Ella Langley finished her 2026 Dandelion Tour with a Halloween look that suited a country stage: Jessie from Toy Story. At the October 31 show in St. Paul, Minnesota, the singer wore a Western shirt, cow print and a wide-brimmed red hat, while members of her band joined the theme as other characters from the films.

The outfit was part of a group decision. Taste of Country’s concert coverage and video says Langley let her band and crew vote on the costume theme. Their choice brought Woody and Buzz Lightyear into the onstage ensemble alongside her Jessie look.
Why the Jessie costume worked on a country stage
The recognizable details did most of the work. The red hat gives the character a clear silhouette, while cow print and a Western shirt connect the film reference with clothing already at home in country performance.
That made the costume easy to read without requiring the concert to stop for an elaborate explanation. It also gave the band a shared visual idea: audiences could recognize the group as the Toy Story cast rather than a collection of unrelated Halloween outfits.
A finale for the Dandelion era on the road
The St. Paul performance closed the Dandelion Tour, according to Taste of Country. Langley’s official website continues to feature the album, with links to listen and download.
For fans catching up after the costume posts, the music provides the useful next step. Dandelion connects the tour with the songs that have shaped her year, while the Halloween theme adds a final visual flourish to that run of shows. Future performance dates should be checked against the artist’s own announcements rather than inferred from an older tour graphic.
What comes next: the CMA Awards
Langley enters November with substantial awards recognition. The Country Music Association’s official nominations announcement lists nine nominations for her, including Entertainer of the Year and Album of the Year for Dandelion. Both “Be Her” and “Choosin’ Texas” appear in the Single and Song of the Year fields.
The ceremony is scheduled for November 18 on ABC and Disney+. Those nominations are recognition already secured; the winners have not yet been announced. The Halloween finale therefore closes one part of Langley’s year while the awards calendar supplies another clear date for fans to follow.
