Nashville’s iconic Grand Ole Opry House has played host to some of country music’s most special occasions, from its first broadcast of the famed Grand Ole Opry radio show on WSM in 1974 to the premiere Opry performances of the genre’s greatest and most legendary names. But on the Sunday before CMA Fest 2026, the Opry stage introduced a brand-new experience.
Hosted by Chase Sapphire Reserve, “Dinner at the Opry” invited an intimate group of cardholders to dine on the stage of the Opry. The evening was part of Sapphire Reserve’s “Dinner On…” series, which reimagines cultural landmarks as immersive dining venues alongside influential talent.
The talent on this night: ACM Award-winning country music breakout star Ella Langley. Fresh off a plane in between tour stops (she’s headlining her own “Dandelion Tour” and opening for Morgan Wallen on his “Still The Problem Tour”), Langley took to the Opry stage to perform three of her viral hits: “Be Her,” “Loving Life Again,” and her history-making number one hit, “Choosin’ Texas.”
After the performance, cardholders enjoyed a family-style meal from one of Nashville’s only Michelin starred restaurants, Bastion. Attendees took home more than memories of an unprecedented night too: Tecovas set up a gifting suite for VIPs who were able to personalize a pair of boots onsite. Everyone also received a copy of Langley’s latest album, Dandelion.
With eight times the points on all purchases through Chase Travel, four times the points on flights, and four times the points on hotel bookings, it’s easy to see why frequent flyers like Langley choose Chase Sapphire. In fact, when Billboard asked Langley to share her travel must-haves, she didn’t hesitate to mention the card.
“[I need] my wallet with my Chase Sapphire Reserve Card inside,” she says, dutifully. “Having lounge access makes travel way easier, and my team uses it to book hotels when we’re on the road,” she adds.
What else does Ella need on the road? The country star shared some of her must-have items with Billboard and you can follow our links below to shop the same products online now.
THE GOOD BOOK
ESV Thinline Bible (Natural Leather Cover With Strap)
“I always travel with my Bible because it helps keep me centered when life gets hectic,” Langley shares. “Having quiet moments to reconnect with my faith is something I really lean on while traveling.”
Amazon shoppers love this “thinline” Bible, which measures just one-inch thick — great for packing into a bag when traveling. The English Standard Version Bible comes with a genuine leather cover that folds over and ties up with a leather strap. Readers also like that the words spoken by Jesus in the Bible are highlighted in this edition in a red colorway.
EYE CARE
Lumify Eye Drops for Red Eye
“I swear by Lumify eye drops, especially after long travel days and those in-between moments when I’m going straight from one thing to the next,” Langley says. “They instantly make me look more awake and refreshed.”
These Lumify eye drops are a bestseller on Amazon with more than 67,000 verified reviews. More than 86% of reviewers give the drops a full five-star review, praising their ability to reduce redness in as little as one minute.
MEAT CUTE
Chomps Nashville Hot Chicken Jerky Meat Snack (24-Pack)
What does the country star snack on while on tour? “Chomps meat sticks are my favorite snack on-the-go because they’re high in protein and easy to throw in my bag,” Langley says.
Amazon has a range of Chomps meat sticks available to buy online, including this Nashville Hot Chicken flavor, which is made with no antibiotics, sugar or nitrites, and clocks in at just 80 calories. See more Chomps flavors (available in beef, turkey, chicken or venison) here.
SIGNATURE SCENT
NOYZ x Be Her by Ella Langley Perfume
Of course Langley doesn’t show up to a concert or appearance without a few spritzes of her “Be Her” perfume, created with the fragrance company, NOYZ. “Having my own fragrance has always been a dream, and who doesn’t want to smell good all the time?” she says.
Langley’s signature scent features notes of violet, bergamot and peonies, mixed with “salted amber,” a hint of tobacco, soft woods and tonka bean.
LIP SERVICE
ChapStick Summer Bundle (6 Count)
“I probably have 10 ChapSticks or lip glosses in my bag at a time,” Langley shares. “I like having options for whatever tones and vibe I want on any given day.”
She’s in luck because this ChapStick set gets you a six-pack of summery flavors, like a creamy ice cream trio, light and juicy mocktails, and refreshing fruit flavors like watermelon and grapefruit.
Of course there’s one other thing Langley always takes on tour: “I love having my dogs Crue and Bee with me,” she says. “They are my little pieces of home while on the road.”
