Taylor Swift concert terror plot averted in Austria, two arrested 02:29

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour shows in Vienna, Austria, have been canceled after government officials confirmed an alleged ISIS-linked terrorist plot to attack large events, organizers said Wednesday. 

“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’s safety,” Barracuda Music, the concerts’ organizer, said in an online post.

The announcement came shortly after two suspected extremists were arrested in Austria on Wednesday, one of whom appeared to be planning an attack on a major event in the Vienna area such as Swift’s concerts over the weekend, authorities said.

Austrian authorities said that the two individuals are tied to ISIS.
