Taylor Swift fans have reached out to each other in emotional gatherings across Vienna after the singer’s three-night run of concerts in the city were cancelled following a foiled terrorist plot.
Many fans traded their bracelets threaded with beads spelling out the words of their favourite Swift songs, hung them from trees in the Austrian capital’s parks, and joined in spontaneous street-side sing-alongs of tracks from her back catalogue. In a city better known for classical music than for pop idols, some Viennese looked on in bemusement, while others offered free food and drink to the visitors.
