Swifties are coming together after two suspects were arrested in Austria on Wednesday.
Taylor Swift fans are coming together after two suspects were arrested for allegedly plotting a terror attack at her Vienna shows.
„With confirmation from government officials of a planned terrorist attack at Ernst Happel Stadium, we have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone’s safety“, Barracuda Music said in a statement shared to Instagram on Wednesday. „All tickets will be automatically refunded within the next 10 business days.“
Swift was scheduled to perform in Vienna on Thursday, Friday and Saturday as part of her hugely successful Eras Tour.
The message came shortly after two suspected extremists were arrested on Wednesday, including one individual who pledged allegiance to ISIS last month. A 19-year-old was arrested in Ternitz and a second person was detained in Vienna.
„We have established corresponding preparatory acts and also that there is a focus of the 19-year-old perpetrator on the Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna“, Franz Ruf, public security director at Austria’s interior ministry, said in a press conference. „A clear threat has been averted.“
Swift hasn’t yet commented on the situation at the time of publication.
