Swifties have rallied in Vienna, Austria after Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concerts were cancelled in the city after an alleged terror attack was planned. The attack was ultimately prevented by government officials.
Concert organisers cancelled the concerts on 7 August after officials announced that they had made arrests over the planned terror attack. Swift was scheduled to play at Ernst Happel Stadium on 8, 9 and 10 August.
Fans of the singer who were scheduled to attend Swift’s three-night run of her critically acclaimed Eras Tour flocked to the city streets to console one another amid the news of the cancellations.
But her loyal fanbase vowed to make the most of coming together. Swifties continued to hand out their friendship bracelets, dress up in their Eras Tour-inspired costumes, and belt out tracks from the singer’s discography, despite the star not taking to the stage as planned.
Fans even headed to Cornelius Gasse in the 6th district of the city, due to its similarities with the Swift song, “Cornelia Street”. Fans embraced each other, with some crying as they sang: “And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name/ I’m so terrified of if you ever walk away/ I’d never walk Cornelia Street again.”
At the time of cancellation, event organiser Barracuda Music said via social media: “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.”
