Taylor Swift has called off her performances in Vienna as part of the ‘Eras Tour’ due to a terrorist threat. The concerts scheduled at Ernst Happel Stadium on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday have been cancelled after authorities arrested two individuals for allegedly plotting attacks on the venues. The threat has been verified by government officials, and refunds for tickets will be issued within 10 business days.
An arrest made on Wednesday involved a 19-year-old who declared allegiance to the Islamic State and was found in possession of chemical substances. Investigations reveal that the suspects were swayed by online propaganda. Taylor Swift has expressed concerns regarding the safety of her fans, referring to incidents like the Manchester Arena bombing and the 2017 Las Vegas shooting.
The decision to cancel the shows prioritizes the safety of the anticipated 3 million attendees over the course of the next seven months.
