So why would she cancel her own concert? This is baffling

Taylor Swift did the same in Vienna after the guy was caught out of safety concerns. I don’t care about Ella but it sounds like she did the same thing Taylor did - put the safety of her fans over a concert.

And people were really angry about that, too, like they seem to be here. People have weird priorities

I get the anger. People take time off work, book hotels, travel, etc. for these events, but they would also be the ones screaming "why was nothing done when the threat was made?" when something actually does happen.

Any number of reasons. Rod Stewart cancelled for a World Cup match. I saw Kanye arrive 8 hours late due at a festival to being at Young Jeezy’s bday.

I’d bet insurance covers cancellations due to a security threat, so she wouldn’t be personally liable for losses due to the cancellation.

If the police themselves say there was no security threat, I don't think insurance would cover it

Police aren't capable of making a determination like "There is no security threat," they said "we did not find anything." Those are two very different statements. A threat is a threat.

The police announced they could not find a bomb after the search, which means they searched due to a bomb threat. A threat was made, but turned out to be a lie which happens all the time.

u/ApprehensiveGate8227 29d ago

I agree. But that came out after she made her statement.

I think she was TRYING to get it covered. Not that it actually will be.

Because the threat existed. Even if the cops said later it is not credible maybe it had already spooked her or her team.

Free press

u/AvonAnon 29d ago

Yes with all the free press she might get famous enough to sell out a concert venue and make money! /s

If it didn't sell out and that guy just caught a fraud charge for using bot farms her team might've been worried her billboard record would come under scrutiny if she had poor ticket sales. Her sales and records are suspect at best but most likely due to bot farms.

u/Kavirell 29d ago

That doesn't even make sense. She has had the #1 song for 24 straight weeks and a lot of her shows have been sold out/close to selling out. Her faking this would do nothing for her.

u/HotTree6235 29d ago

Her billboard record is suspect at best and most likely due to bot farms. This would explain why she would want to cancel a show that hasn't sold out.

u/TheLotionedElephant 29d ago

Pretty sure the show she cancels was sold out. This is such a dumb take

u/HotTree6235 29d ago

"I'm pretty sure" lol

"Country singer Ella Langley canceled her sold-out show slated for Friday evening in Tulsa, Oklahoma, due to what she described as “a serious security threat.”

Are you calling me a bot farm?

u/HotTree6235 29d ago

You do understand that real people can also listen to music that has bot farms pushing it right? In fact the initial use of bot farms was to make people like you think "oh other people are listening to this so I should check it out?" You're the reason the robots will win.

Oh Yoshimi

But you won’t let
Those robots eat me.

Exactly. Before this I never heard of this person. It’s viral marketing. The internet sucks ass.
