(DPA) Taylor Swift’s three performances in Vienna have been cancelled, organizers said late on Wednesday, after two suspects were arrested for allegedly plotting terrorist attacks.
The decision to scrap the US pop icon’s shows this coming Thursday, Friday and Saturday was announced by Barracuda Music in a message on Instagram.
“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 wrote.
Hours earlier Austrian law enforcement announced that two individuals had been taken into custody on suspicion they were planning attacks in the Vienna area, including on Swift’s shows.
