Taylor Swift previously shared in an interview that she was scared of a violent attack occurring at one of her tour shows
Years before canceling her Vienna Eras Tour shows, Taylor Swift previously opened up about her fear of fans getting hurt at her concerts.
“My biggest fear. After the Manchester Arena bombing and the Vegas concert shooting, I was completely terrified to go on tour this time because I didn’t know how we were going to keep 3 million fans safe over seven months,” Swift, 34, told Elle in March 2019, several months after wrapping up her Reputation stadium tour.
Swift was referring to the 2017 terrorist bombing that left 22 people dead and hundreds injured at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. That same year, a mass shooting at a Las Vegas concert resulted in 58 deaths and more than 800 injuries.
In her “30 Things I Learned Before Turning 30” Elle profile, Swift noted that she and her team put “a tremendous amount of planning, expense and effort” into “keeping my fans safe” while taking her tour around the world.
“My fear of violence has continued into my personal life. I carry QuikClot army grade bandage dressing, which is for gunshot or stab wounds,” she revealed. “Websites and tabloids have taken it upon themselves to post every home address I’ve ever had online.
