Country singer Ella Langley cancelled her Friday, October 9 concert at Tulsa's BOK Center roughly two hours before showtime after a bomb threat was phoned in to the venue. Local law enforcement swept the arena and surrounding area and determined the threat was not credible, but Langley, her security team, and venue officials jointly decided to call off the sold-out Dandelion Tour stop.

Langley addressed the decision the following night during her concert in Lubbock, Texas, telling the crowd she would make the same choice "ten billion times over" because "a concert's not worth a human life." She said she was put in charge of a decision for 15,000 people and chose the one she could live with for the rest of her life.

“A concert's not worth a human life. It's not.”

Langley acknowledged the disappointment of fans who had spent time and money on travel and tickets. She also revealed she nearly cancelled the Lubbock show while still shaken but credited her faith for giving her the courage to perform.
