Due to the threat of terrorism
All Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna cancelled
Taylor Swift wants to play three concerts in Vienna on her Eras tour. But these have now been cancelled – due to the threat of terrorism.
The three planned concerts by US pop star Taylor Swift have been cancelled. “Due to the confirmation by government officials of a planned terrorist attack in the Ernst Happel Stadium, we have no choice but to cancel the three planned shows for everyone’s safety,” said the organiser Barracuda Music. Two people were arrested in Austria on suspicion of terrorism. Among other things, they had planned attacks at Taylor Swift’s upcoming concerts in Vienna, said Franz Ruf, General Director for Public Security in the Austrian Interior Ministry.
Chemical substances were confiscated from a 19-year-old Austrian. The young man had become radicalised on the Internet and a few weeks ago pledged his allegiance to the head of the terrorist organisation Islamic State (IS), said Ruf.
A second person was also arrested in Vienna in the afternoon. He is said to be a 17-year-old. In addition, the “Kurier” reported, citing police sources, that three more suspects are still being sought.
