The singer added that she stayed silent for the safety of her fans and prioritized completing the European leg of the Eras Tour safely.
Taylor Swift has broken her silence about the cancellation of her Eras Tour shows in Vienna following a foiled terror attack.
The « Anti-hero » singer was scheduled to perform in Vienna from August 8 to 10 for an estimated audience of 200,000. However, the concerts were called off when Austrian police thwarted a terrorist plot that targeted the concerts and led to the arrest of two men.
Swift remained silent about the cancellations until she completed the last show of the tour’s European leg in London. In an Instagram post on Wednesday, she wrote that canceling the Vienna shows was « devastating. »

« The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, and a tremendous amount of guilt because so many people had planned on coming to those shows », she wrote.
She added that she was grateful to the authorities: « Thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives. »
Authorities in London had stepped up security measures at Wembley Stadium, where Swift performed to a crowd of 92,000 each night from August 15 to 20.
