An Austrian court has sentenced a man who plotted to attack a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna to 15 years in prison.

The state court in Wiener Neustadt found the 21-year-old defendant, an Austrian citizen known only as Beran A. in line with Austrian privacy rules, guilty Thursday on charges including those related to the concert, the Austria Press Agency reported.
