Taylor Swift has returned to the stage at London’s Wembley Stadium on Thursday, just over a week after three of her Eras Tour concerts in Vienna were canceled when police in the Austrian city thwarted a terror attack plot targeting one of her shows.
Swift last performed her concert in front of audiences in Warsaw, Poland in the beginning of August. She was supposed to begin a three-show stop in Vienna on Aug. 9 when Austrian authorities said they had prevented an ISIS-inspired plot to attack one of her concerts during that leg.
Taylor Swift performs the Eras Tour in Amsterdam in July.
Three teenagers have since been detained in connection with the investigation and are suspected of plotting a suicide attack.

Investigators found a stockpile of chemicals, explosive devices, detonators and over $20,000 in counterfeit cash at the home of the main suspect, a 19-year-old ISIS sympathizer who had been radicalized online, according to Franz Ruf, public security director at Austria’s interior ministry.
Swift has yet to publicly comment on the cancellation and the terror threat but CNN has reached out to her representative for comment.
Thursday’s concert kicks off the first of five shows Swift is scheduled to perform at Wembley Stadium, the run serving as her final European tour stop before she heads back to North America.
The band Paramore will open for Swift for every show, with a different supporting opening act every night. Recording artists Sofia Isella, Holly Humberstone, Suki Waterhouse, Maisie Peters, and Raye will respectively fill that role over the five nights.
CNN has reached out to representatives for Paramore and each supporting artist for comment.
Heightened safety measures
With safety and security top of mind following the Vienna cancellations, both Wembley Stadium and London authorities have publicly outlined their plan to keep concertgoers safe.
