!!!!! i cannot believe that the world has come to terrorist threats being made at innocent concerts

just today the eras tour dates in vienna were cancelled due to terrorist threats being made. im so glad they were able to notify people in time and stop the shows. but thats insane. people cant even go to a concert without being scared. it's supposed to be a fun, memorable night, but now those dreams have been ruined. glad everyone is safe and nothing bad happened, but i just feel so so bad for taylor and especially everyone who had tickets looking forward to this

Fans gather to sing Taylor songs in the street in Vienna, Austria after The Eras shows are cancelled [x]

I'm feeling sorry for all the Swifties who were planning to attend one of Taylor's concerts in Vienna. But under the given circumstances it's the best to cancel those concerts. I hope @taylorswift will reschedule them and you all will get another chance. I also hope that Taylor herself is feeling okay, because it's weird that no one heard anything from her since the concerts got cancelled.

The three concerts of the Eras Tour at Ernst-Happel Stadion in Vienna, Austria have been cancelled due to a planned terrorist attack.

Stay safe out there.

hi so! giving someone who planned to kill "as many people as possible" with chemical devices, acid bombs, knives, machetes, and running cars into crowds a lawyer is one thing. giving them one, that's still somewhat logical. but one of the best in the country? aren't you ashamed??

Thanks everyone for your kind messages ❤️ I’m obviously still incredibly sad I didn’t get to see Taylor but a large tragedy has been avoided. And I can’t state enough how grateful I am we’re mourning shows and not the people.

Sending hugs to my fellow Vienna Swifties, my inbox is always open ❤️

It’s really disappointing to see how people - including some swifties - are using the recent terrorist threats to platform their own Islamophobia and bigotry.

There are so many false claims being made in the wake of these atrocities. For example, Palestinians have nothing to do with this and yet there are people who are trying to link these events to October 7.

I challenge the fans to rise above xenophobia, hatred, and ignorance.

Use your critical thinking skills, and ask yourselves why this racist rhetoric is being used? How was ISIS created? Who does it benefit when we are led by bigotry? The data to support “migrant crime” does NOT exist, so why do we still turn to Islamophobia? I encourage everyone to read this TIME article on how misinformation about the Southport dance class attacks was used to push violent, far-right riots in Britain. The attacker was NOT Muslim and he was NOT an immigrant; he was born in Wales.

What happened in Vienna is a tragedy. It’s a relief that no one got hurt. However, we need to remind ourselves that misinformation and racism lead to more violence against innocent people. For example, after the dance class stabbing, police presence was required at 56 violent, far-right riots. During one coordinated riot, this happened:

“In Rotherham on Sunday, a crowd of around 700 predominantly men began to congregate outside a Holiday Inn Express, home to asylum seekers. The group clashed with police clad in riot gear, throwing chairs and other debris at the officers, before setting a bin on fire and throwing it through a smashed window at the hotel. One video, taken by a migrant trapped inside the hotel and shared by a journalist at The Times, shows a rioter miming the cutting of a neck. The incident saw at least 10 police officers injured.”

As swifties, we are a powerful fandom. We should reject this divisive rhetoric and continue to cultivate a culture that is grounded in compassion and empathy.

Shocking detail in Taylor Swift terror attack plot revealed

A shocking detail have been revealed that demonstrates how dangerously close three teens came to carrying out a suspected attack at a Taylor Swift concert.

Lexie Cartwright, August 9, 2024 - 6:18am

It's been claimed that the suspected terrorists who plotted an attack on Taylor Swift's concerts in Vienna, Austria this week had their friends hired as security for the event.

Three teenagers were arrested Wednesday in connection with the criminal conspiracy, including a 19-year-old male, who was detained in Ternitz, which is an hour outside Vienna where Swift was to host three back-to-back shows at Ernst Happel Stadium from Thursday night.

The man allegedly planned to drive a car into the some 20,000 fans who were expected to gather outside the huge stadium during the concert.

The Sun reports that his friends had infiltrated security at the even, where they were hired to help with set up and stewarding.

Authorities reportedly found various chemicals and other substances at a residence in Vienna after receiving a tip from foreign intelligence agencies.

A second person was arrested in the capital while authorities continued to hunt further suspects.

Swift's 'biggest fear' was a terror plot

In the wake of Taylor Swift cancelling her shows. an interview has resurfaced in which she revealed such a scenario would be her "biggest fear".

In an article for Ella in 2019, Swift shared her fears over the attack at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, UK, and revealed that she always carries "QuikClot army grade bandage dressing, which is for gunshot or stab wounds".

"My biggest fear," Swift wrote at the time, "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. There was a tremendous amount of planning, expense, and effort put into keeping my fans safe."

"My fear of violence has continued into my personal life," she said, adding that she carried "QuikClot army grade bandage dressing, which is for gunshot or stab wounds."

Stadium officials "had no choice" but to cancel shows

Organisers announced on Wednesday that they had made the decision to cancel all of Swift's concerts, saying they were left with "no choice" but to pull the pin for safety reasons.

"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," event organiser Barracuda Music said in a post on Instagram.

Franz Ruf, Austrian Director General for Public Safety, said authorities believed the suspects became radicalised online and pledged allegiance to the leader of IS in July.

"The suspected perpetrator was focused on the Taylor Swift concerts. Preparatory actions were detected," Mr Ruf said.

Earlier, Vienna's head of police Gerhard Pürstl warned an "abstract danger" remained despite the arrests, with 65,000 people expected to attend Swift's shows per day, as well as 22,000 fans outside the venue.

Swift is yet to comment.

According to Kronen Zeitung, a local media outlet, police were planning for a boosted operation if Swift's shows were to go ahead, including long guns, bomb squads and K-9 dogs being stationed to the area.

It comes one week after Swift's fans were targeted in northwest England, where three young girls were killed after 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana allegedly went on a stabbing spree at a dance class held in honour of the Grammy winning artist.

A motive for Rudakubana's murders has not yet been revealed.

Swift released a statement shortly after the incident, saying she was "completely in shock" over what happened.

"The horror of yesterday's attack in Southport is washing over me continuously, and I'm just completely in shock," Swift wrote in her statement, posted on her Instagram story.

"The loss of life and innocence, and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families, and first responders. These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for now to ever convey my sympathies to these families."

Swift is currently embarking on the Europe leg of her blockbuster Eras Tour, with Vienna marking her second-last stop before she hosts five sellout shows at London's Wembley Stadium.

The singer will then take a two-month break, before concluding the tour in Canada from November.

i feel so bad for everyone who was excited for the concert in austria and people who waited for months/years :((

it is truly sad it had to be this way but this is the only safe and responsible thing to do since i read there were 5 people in the managing out of which 3 are still on the loose

i am glad the authorities found out about this and everyone is safe. i can't imagine being in Taylor's place right now, i am glad she is safe.

honestly what kind of vile creature do you have to be to be doing this in the name of religion ? just get a new one if your religion/ideology makes you an extremist like this.
