2 Suspects Arrested for Plotting Attack at Taylor Swift’s Vienna Show

Two suspects were arrest for allegedly plotting an attack at Taylor Swift’s concerts in Vienna, Austria, this week, according to ABC News.

The two people — one of whom is a 19-year-old Austrian citizen — were taken into custody on Wednesday (Aug. 7) after they reportedly “radicalized” themselves online, with Swift’s concert marking the target of an attack they were planning. No further information has come out about the two suspects.

Swift is set to perform at Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadium on Thursday (Aug. 8), Friday (Aug. 9) and Saturday (Aug. 10). The venue seats more than 50,000 fans.

The superstar, who kicked off the European leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour in May, will be stopping at Wembley Stadium in London before she’ll swing back through the United States and Canada for one last leg before closing out the Eras Tour in December. 

“That feels so far away from now, but then again, it feels like we just played our first show on this tour because you have made this so fun for us that we wanted to do 100 shows, 150-something shows that we have on the whole tour,” Swift said on stage during a show in June. “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.”
