Taylor Swift expressed her gratitude for the canceled concerts and not lives, in her first public statement following an alleged planned terror attack on her Austrian concert dates. The shows were canceled.
On Instagram, Swift bid farewell to the European leg of her Eras Tour and described the emotional rollercoaster of performing at Wembley Stadium after the Vienna shows were canceled due to security concerns.
She expressed a mix of devastation, fear, guilt, and gratefulness towards the authorities for prioritizing safety. Swift emphasized that it was better to mourn concerts than lives.
The Vienna shows on August 8, 9, and 10 were canceled due to the arrest of two teenagers linked to a terror plot. A third suspect was also arrested, although not directly involved in the scheme.
Swift acknowledged the support from fans who showed unity and love amidst the canceled shows. She commended the security measures taken and highlighted the importance of protecting her audience.
After concluding the London shows safely, Swift spoke out about the canceled Vienna concerts, emphasizing the need for timing and restraint in addressing sensitive issues publicly.
The post concluded with Swift reminiscing about her performances at Wembley and looking forward to resuming The Eras Tour in October, following a rest period.
