Taylor Swift's Vienna Concerts Canceled Due To Alleged Terror Plot

Taylor Swift performs during "The Eras Tour," Monday, Aug. 7, 2023, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Swift received six Grammy nominations on Friday.

Taylor Swift’s three concerts in Vienna have been canceled following an alleged terror plot. Concert organizers Barracuda Music announced the cancellation via Instagram, citing government officials' confirmation of a planned terrorist attack at Ernst Happel Stadium. The safety of attendees was the primary concern, leading to the decision to cancel all three scheduled shows. Refunds will be automatically issued for all tickets sold.

Austrian police made two arrests in connection to the alleged terror plot targeting Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concerts in Vienna. Vienna’s State Police Director and Police Chief confirmed the arrests, with one of the suspects being a 19-year-old individual with alleged ties to ISIS. Authorities revealed that the suspects had made specific plans online to carry out an attack during Swift’s residency in the Austrian capital. During a raid at the 19-year-old’s residence, various chemical substances were found, prompting investigations into their potential use in bomb-making.
