The insider went on to say that Taylor held a meeting with her team, who felt “tense” after the threats, to explain what was happening and ensure everyone’s safety.
“The terrorist threat made the team tense in a way that it’s not something easy to deal with, as everyone wants to be safe and just enjoy the tour and work in the best environment possible,” they shared.
“The tour in general and especially in Europe has been going fantastic, and there is a huge disappointment that the concerts are canceled, but everyone is very understanding of the situation and grateful that the Austrian police and the government took the best decision for the security and safety of each and all of us, from the fans to Taylor, to the crews and the team.”
The insider revealed the pop star held a meeting with the entire team to explain what was happening and ensure everyone’s safety.
They claimed Swift is planning to continue working the Eras Tour following the threats.
“We are going to keep working for the next shows coming in London after the stop in Austria, but it wasn’t an easy day to, that is for sure,” the source continued.
“The goal is to wrap up the Euro part of the tour in the best way.”
The singer was scheduled to visit London after the Vienna shows.
The day before she was set to hit the stage, authorities received a tip from foreign intelligence agencies about an alleged plotted attack on Swift’s shows.
SUSPECTS APPREHENDED
Two suspects, including a 19-year-old male, have been arrested in connection after police found an array of chemicals and other substances at their Ternitz residence.
The suspects allegedly had plans for a mass attack.
Bomb squads were investigating if the materials were going to be used for explosives.
Following the raid, Austrian Director General for Public Safety Franz Ruf released a statement.
“A concrete threat has been averted,” said Ruf.
“The suspected perpetrator was focused on the Taylor Swift concerts. Preparatory actions were detected.”
Barracuda Music, an Austrian concert promoter, also released a statement announcing the cancelation of the 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,” they wrote.
They also revealed that concert-goers will receive a refund within 10 business days.
