Taylor Swift's Vienna concerts cancelled after police foiled terror attacks

Taylor Swift fans in Vienna will have to wait a bit longer since three concerts had to be cancelled owing to security reasons. The American singer was supposed to perform on August 8, 9 and 10 at the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna. However,just before she was to perform, the police caught two men who allegedly have links with ISIS and were planning a “bloodbath” at her concerts inthe Austrian capital.

The organisers of the concert released a statement after cancelling the shows, “Due to confirmation by government officials of a planned terrorist attack at the Ernst Happel Stadium, we have no choice but to cancel the three planned shows for everyone's safety.”

Meanwhile, Taylor is doing well amid this chaos. Her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, got on the phone with the singer and eased all tension according to reports.
