Taylor Swift’s fans in Vienna are gathering to console one another after the pop superstar was forced to cancel a series of “Eras Tour” concerts in the city due to terrorists threats.
On Aug. 8, throngs of Swifties stood along the streets in Austria’s capital where they traded bracelets and sang Swift’s songs together, according to videos shared on X.
A day before, Swift, 34, canceled three scheduled concerts in Vienna after authorities arrested two people in connection to allegations of plans of attacks in the city, including Swift’s shows.
The plot’s main suspect told authorities that he planned to commit a suicide attack with bombs and weapons at one of the concerts, the Australian chancellor said on Aug. 8.
“The suspects had very specific and detailed plans to cause a tragedy here like in Paris, Manchester or Moscow,” Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer posted in German on X on Aug. 8. “The main perpetrator confessed that he wanted to carry out a suicide attack with two accomplices. He obtained explosives and weapons.”
“It is unimaginable what devastating consequences this would have had,” Nehammer wrote. “That would have meant numerous deaths and injuries.”
Swift has revealed in recent years that her “biggest fear” is that such an attack happen at one of her concerts.
This is a developing story.
