Country singer Ella Langley resumed her Dandelion Tour on Oct. 10 in Lubbock, Texas, after the Friday show in Tulsa, Oklahoma was cancelled because of a reported bomb threat, Billboard reported.
What happened
Law enforcement swept the BOK Center in Tulsa and surrounding areas on Oct. 9, finding no credible threat, but the venue still called off the concert two hours before start time. The following night, Langley took the stage at United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock, addressing the prior day's incident before launching into her set.
What the reports add
Billboard noted that the security sweep in Tulsa involved multiple police sweeps and that the threat was deemed not credible, yet the decision to cancel remained. The outlet also highlighted that Langley’s single “Choosin’ Texas” holds the record for the most weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
What was said
“I know yesterday was scary,” Langley said onstage, adding, “A concert’s not worth a human life. It’s not.”
She continued, “If it wasn’t for Him, I would’ve canceled this show tonight,” referring to her faith in Jesus Christ.
Langley also told the audience, “The most important thing in this life is your relationship with Jesus Christ,” and urged fans not to live in fear.
How it came about
Langley’s tour has faced several high‑profile moments this year, including a pause in Columbus to discuss online bullying on Sep. 30 and an intimate Denver show on Oct. 6, both covered by Felo News. The Tulsa cancellation marks the latest safety‑related disruption on her 37‑stop Dandelion Tour, which is scheduled to conclude in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Oct. 31.
