The "Choosin' Texas" singer addressed the cancellation during her concert in Lubbock, Texas, the following day.
"I was put in charge of a decision for 15,000 people. I decided to make the decision that I could live with the rest of my life," Langley told the crowd on Saturday night at the United Supermarkets Arena, according to Taste of Country.
"And so that's what I did. Because when it comes to keeping you safe and making sure that this show is a safe place for us to come and enjoy music, then it will happen. But the second it feels like it's not, I'm not doing it."
Langley added, "A concert is not worth a human life. It's not. And so I would have made yesterday's decision 10 billion times over. I would have, 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."
Country Icon Backs Ella Langley
Langley admitted that she nearly cancelled the concert in Texas, too, as she was still shaken from the threat in Tulsa.
However, she credited her faith in God for the will to continue.
"If it wasn't for Him, I would have canceled this show tonight," she told the crowd. "I would have."
"But I felt this calling and this tug at my chest that said, 'It's OK. We are safe. We can do this show,'" Langley continued. "And I decided to do it because of Him right there. And that's the only reason."
Although Tulsa police said they found no credible threat and described the incident as a "false bomb threat call," Wynonna Judd defended Langley's decision to cancel the show.
In an interview with OutKick, Wynonna Judd said "sh-t happens" and that Langley made the right call.
"It just happens. Sh-t happens, right? So, you got to do what's the next right thing. And I think she did the right thing."
Judd revealed that she has also dealt with serious threats while touring and has been forced to adjust on the fly.
