Taylor Swift has reached out to her fans on social media following the cancellation of her Vienna concerts due to a serious terror threat last month. The singer, who had planned three performances at the Ernst Happel Stadium, saw the shows halted for safety reasons, as announced by event organizers.
In an emotional message to her fans, Taylor reflected on wrapping up the European leg of The Eras Tour, sharing her pride in her crew and fellow performers for their dedication despite the challenging pace. She expressed deep disappointment over the Vienna cancellations, acknowledging the fear and guilt she felt for her fans who had made plans to attend.
Taylor also voiced her gratitude towards the authorities for ensuring that the situation resulted in the loss of concerts, not lives. She emphasized the importance of focusing on the safety of her fans, particularly during the London shows, where she collaborated closely with stadium staff and British authorities. Taylor highlighted that her silence on the matter until now was a deliberate choice to avoid provoking further danger.
She went on to describe the London performances as a “beautiful dream sequence,” filled with energy and passion from the crowds. Taylor also mentioned the surprise appearances by her friends, which added to the memorable experience. She concluded by expressing her appreciation for the fans and looking forward to resuming The Eras Tour in October after a much-needed rest.
The Vienna concerts were canceled following a confirmed terror threat targeting the events, leading to the arrest of two suspects. The authorities had been aware of potential plans for an attack, particularly aimed at Taylor’s shows, prompting heightened security measures before the final decision to cancel. Taylor’s tour will continue, concluding in Vancouver, Canada, on December 8.
