Ella Langley is breaking her silence after canceling one of her concerts due to a security threat.
On Friday, Oct. 9, the “Choosin’ Texas” singer announced on social media that her show in Tulsa, Oklahoma, scheduled for that night would be canceled due to security concerns.
“Due to a serious security threat involving the safety of my fans, the venue staff, and my team, the incredibly difficult decision was made to cancel tonight’s show,” Langley’s statement read in part. “This decision was made under the advisement of local authorities, the venue, and my security team.”
The following day, Langley addressed the situation onstage while performing in Lubbock, Texas, explaining why she stood by her decision to cancel the previous night’s concert.
“When it comes to keeping you safe and making sure that this show is a safe place for us to come and enjoy our music, then it will happen—but the second it feels like it will not, I’m not doing it,” she told concertgoers during her Saturday, Oct. 10, show. “I’m not doing it, because a concert’s not worth a human life. It’s not.”
“I would have made yesterday’s decision 10 billion times over—and I’d do it tomorrow and I’d do it the next day because, while I’m grateful to get to do what I do, it’s not the most important thing in this life,” she continued. “What’s the most important thing in this life is the people around that love you and are there for you no matter what. The most important thing in this life is making sure you wake up every day and feel like, ‘You know what? I’m good today and I’m so grateful to have woken up today.’”
Langley also spoke about the role her faith played in her decision to perform in Lubbock.
“The most important thing in this life, No. 1., is your relationship with Jesus Christ. If it wasn’t for him, I would have canceled this show tonight. I would have, but I felt this calling and this tug in my chest saying, ‘It’s OK, we’re safe and we can do this show.’ I decided to because of him right there, and that’s the only reason.”
The singer concluded by saying she has no intention of allowing the incident to make her “live in fear” and that no one can scare her out of making and performing music, which she described as her calling in life.
Langley also thanked her fans for attending the show despite the frightening incident.
“I just want to say thank you so much for showing up tonight. I know yesterday was scary,” she said. “It was scary for all of us, but we’re just so grateful to be playing this show tonight … and we will never take this for granted. We love it, we love what we do [and] I wouldn’t trade it for the world. This is my favorite thing to do in my life.”
Neither Langley nor the venue, the BOK Center, specified the nature of the security threat in Tulsa. However, local outlet News On 6 reported that the incident involved an alleged false bomb threat.
Tulsa Police Department Capt. Richard Meulenberg later confirmed in a Facebook video that officers received a bomb threat call and conducted a preliminary sweep with K-9 officers, finding no indication of a threat. However, police were forced to return to the venue after receiving a phone call warning of potential gunfire and bombs at the event.
Authorities ultimately found no evidence of a credible threat and left the decision to cancel the concert to Langley’s team.
Langley is currently on the road for her Dandelion tour, which supports her album of the same name. The tour is scheduled to run through Oct. 31, when it will end at the Grand Casino Arena in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
