Country music star Ella Langley abruptly canceled her scheduled concert in Tulsa, Oklahoma, after a serious security threat raised concerns about fans, venue employees, and members of her team.

The singer announced the cancellation through an Instagram post. She did not disclose the nature of the threat or provide further details about what prompted the warning.

"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. This decision was made under the advisement of local authorities, the venue, and my security team," Langley wrote.

The BOK Center, where the Tulsa concert was scheduled to take place, released its own statement Friday. The venue similarly emphasized that safety was the deciding factor behind the cancellation.

"The safety and well-being of everyone involved is our absolute priority, and after careful consideration, we have determined that the show cannot proceed."

The department said it later learned of a call threatening people attending the performance. Police then conducted another search of the building and its surrounding area.

The department continued, "A call was made threatening the lives of people attending the event. Out of an abundance of caution, we swept the building and surrounding area and again found no credible threat to the event's safety."

"We advised the performer's staff that we found no credible threat to the event, but they decided to cancel the performance anyway," the account said.

The Tulsa Police Department said the incident remained under investigation. Fox News Digital contacted representatives for Langley and the BOK Center seeking additional comment.

Langley is currently headlining The Dandelion Tour in support of her second studio album, "Dandelion." The arena tour began May 7 in Toledo, Ohio, and later received an extension adding 21 dates.

At the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards, Langley discussed releasing a series of singles and building momentum toward her sophomore album. The Tulsa cancellation came during the tour supporting that second studio release.

For people holding tickets to the canceled Tulsa performance, the BOK Center said refunds and further information would follow. Langley’s statement focused on her disappointment while maintaining that she would not risk the safety of fans, workers or her team.
