EBN- Taylor Swift decided to cancel three scheduled concerts in Vienna after Austrian authorities uncovered a “terrorist plot” targeting the events.
Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammern announced that, through intensive security efforts, a terrorist plot was foiled for one of the concerts of Taylor Swift in the capital Vienna, while Franz Ruf, the Director General of Public Security, revealed that the Austrian police had actually arrested two people involved in the matter.
Karl wrote on his X social networking account: “Thanks to the intensive cooperation of our police, the newly formed State Security and Intelligence Directorate, and foreign agencies; the threat was detected early and a tragedy was prevented.”
Accordingly, the organizing company “Barracuda.Music” announced the cancellation of the shows for the safety of everyone and the return of the money to the audience while the star prepares to continue her upcoming concerts in London.
In detail, the security authorities revealed that the plan was to attack the stadium where one of the concerts scheduled to be held at the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna on August 8, 9 and 10 was to be held, and the police expected about 65,000 people to attend each day.
Separately, Taylor Swift has the lion’s share of the 2024 MTV VMAs nominations after being nominated for 10 awards on the list, giving her a chance to make history as the first artist to win Best Music Video three times in a row if she manages to win, in addition to being the record holder for the most wins in this category.
