Taylor Swift’s Vienna Concerts Cancelled After Police Say They Uncovered a Planned Terrorist Attack

Taylor Swift’s Vienna Concerts Cancelled After Police Say They Uncovered a Planned Terrorist Attack

As a seasoned movie-goer and concert enthusiast who has weathered numerous delays and cancellations over the years, I must say, this latest turn of events surrounding Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is nothing short of disheartening. The safety of the audience should always be paramount, and it’s a testament to the diligence of our security forces that they uncovered this potential threat.


In the context of being a Taylor Swift fan, Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen circumstances, the concerts scheduled for my beloved Ernst Happel Stadium in Austria on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday have been canceled. The organizers made this decision following the arrest of two individuals suspected of planning a terrorist attack in Vienna, as reported by authorities. These shows were part of Taylor’s Eras Tour, which I had eagerly anticipated attending.

As a devoted movie enthusiast, I’d share that recently, Barracuda Music, the organizers behind our beloved concerts, shared some disappointing news on Instagram. They announced that due to a verified threat of an intended attack, as confirmed by government officials, they were forced to cancel the shows.

As a devoted movie-lover putting safety first, I’m compelled to share some unfortunate news: due to credible intel about an impending terrorist threat at Ernst Happel Stadium, we regretfully must cancel our upcoming three concerts for everyone’s wellbeing. Our thoughts are with you, fellow music enthusiasts, and we look forward to welcoming you back as soon as it’s safe to do so.

On the ticketing platform, it’s been announced that those who have tickets will receive their refunds automatically over a period of 10 working days.

Barracuda Music has decided to cancel upcoming shows following the arrest of a 19-year-old Austrian suspect, who allegedly planned an attack at a local event, as reported by authorities earlier today. The individual, residing with his parents in Ternitz, is claimed to have sworn loyalty to ISIS, according to Vienna State Police Director Franz Ruf during a press conference. Another individual was apprehended in Vienna on Wednesday; however, further details about this person were not disclosed immediately by Ruf.

As per the latest updates on the ongoing probe, it appears that the two individuals in question were influenced towards extremism through online sources, according to his statement.

During the press conference, Police Chief Gerhard Purstl stated that the immediate risk has been “reduced significantly,” yet he emphasized that there remains a potential or ongoing threat.

Last week, an individual was taken into custody in Kansas City following an incident at a Morgan Wallen concert. This person allegedly issued threats against Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, both present at the event and socializing with Wallen. These threatening remarks led to the temporary suspension of the concert for approximately 45 minutes.

I, as a follower, haven’t heard any public comments from Taylor Swift regarding the security concerns at her concerts or the cancellations of her shows due to terror threats.
