Taylor Swift<\/a> has cancelled a series of concerts in Austria following an alleged terror plot.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Taylor Swift has cancelled her Vienna concerts<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old pop star was scheduled to play three gigs in the Austrian capital of Vienna, starting on Thursday (08.08.24), but those shows have now been cancelled due to a planned terrorist attack at the Ernst Happel Stadium.<\/p>\n

In a statement posted on Instagram, concert organisers Barracuda Music said: “Taylor Swift<\/a>\u2019s The Eras Tour Vienna shows cancelled due to government officials confirmation of planned terrorist attack.<\/p>\n

“With confirmation from government officials of a planned terrorist attack at Ernst Happel Stadium, we have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone\u2019s safety.”<\/p>\n

Franz Ruf, the top security chief in Austria, said at a press conference: “We have established corresponding preparatory acts and also that there is a focus of the 19-year-old perpetrator on the Taylor Swift<\/a> concerts in Vienna.”<\/p>\n

\nTwo suspects have been arrested over the alleged terror plot. <\/p>\n

\nThe police investigation centred on the town of Ternitz, where one of the suspects lives with their family. The 19-year-old suspect was arrested before their home was searched and almost half of the town was evacuated.<\/p>\n

\nRuf confirmed during the press conference that investigators found “chemical substances” that are currently being tested.<\/p>\n

\nWhat’s more, the authorities claim to have unearthed detailed plans of the proposed terror attack.<\/p>\n

\nTaylor was due to perform at the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna on August 8, 9, and 10, with a large number of fans travelling from overseas to see the pop star in action.<\/p>\n

\nEvent organisers have now confirmed that ticket holders will receive a full refund.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
