Taylor Swift’s Austria Concerts Canceled After Terrorist Attack Plot

Taylor Swift’s Austria Concerts Canceled After Terrorist Attack Plot

Swift’s upcoming shows at Ernst Happel Stadium have been canceled, according to a post shared by event organizers Barracuda Music shortly after authorities confirmed the arrests. Her website has since begun issuing refunds to ticketholders. 

E! News has reached out to reps for Swift regarding the arrests and cancelation, but has not yet heard back.

The arrest comes less than a month after an individual was arrested prior Swift’s concert in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, due to threats against Swift and her boyfriend Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, both 34. 

According to the Associated Press, a 34-year-old man had purchased a ticket for the Miss Americana star’s July 17 concert, but was arrested upon entry into the Veltins-Arena, following “tips from organizers of the event.”

And while Swift did not publicly address the previous arrest, she had spoken adamantly before about the precautions she has in place to keep her shows, fans and loved ones safe—calling any violence at her shows her “biggest fear” after the bombing at an Ariana Grande concert and shooting at the Route 91 Harvest music festival in 2017.
