JOYBETH TAYLOR

​

Songwriter of "‘Choosin Texas”, and “Weren’t For The Wind” by Ella Langley,  “I Can’t Love You Anymore” by Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen, “Bar and Back” by Josh Ross

​

Songwriting began at the young age of just seven for Pelham, Alabama, native Joybeth Taylor, so it was no surprise when the now 27-year-old Taylor packed up all to her name and left the Yellowhammer State in August of 2016 to pursue her passion for songwriting in Nashville. Taylor vastly developed an ability to captivate audience members within Music City, utilizing her organic and real-life experiences. After penning over 250 songs a year independently for close to five years, Taylor received and signed her first-ever publishing deal with Sony Music Publishing and Verse2 in April of 2021, earning her first number one song in 2025, “Weren’t For The Wind.” Her most recent radio hit, “Choosin Texas,” is the 2026 ACM Song of the Year and is on its 10th week at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. She now has multiple radio singles and cuts with Ella Langley, Morgan Wallen, Jordan Davis, Kane Brown, Vincent Mason, Warren Zeiders, Gavin Adcock, Hudson Westbrook, Chase Matthew, Corey Kent, Josh Ross, Koe Wetzel, Kameron Marlowe, and Zach John King. Nominated for MusicRow’s 2025 Female Songwriter of the Year, as well as Breakthrough Writer of the Year, she continues to make her mark as one of the purest and most crafted lyricists on Music Row.
