Two people arrested for planning an attack at Taylor Swift’s concert in Vienna.
Two suspects were arrested for allegedly plotting an attack at Taylor Swift’s concerts in Vienna, Austria, this week, according to ABC News.
The two individuals, one of whom is a 19-year-old Austrian citizen, were taken into custody on Wednesday after authorities discovered that they had “radicalized” themselves online, with Swift’s concert as their intended target. Further details about the suspects have not been released.
Swift is scheduled to perform at Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadium on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The venue has a capacity of more than 50,000 fans, prompting authorities to ramp up security measures for the shows.
The global superstar began the European leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour in May and will also make a stop at Wembley Stadium in London before heading back to the United States and Canada for a final stretch of shows. The Eras Tour is set to conclude in December.
During a show in June, Swift expressed her gratitude to her fans, saying, “This tour has really become my entire life. It’s taken over everything. I think I once had hobbies, but I don’t know what they were anymore because all I do when I’m not onstage is sit at home and try to think of clever acoustic song mash-ups and think about what you might want to hear. So when I’m not on the stage, I’m dreaming of being back on the stage with you guys.”
