Taylor Swift has been left ‘devastated’ after being forced to cancel the Austrian leg of her Eras Tour due to a foiled terror plot, sources have claimed, and has vowed to return to Vienna ‘as soon as possible‘.

The star is reportedly ‘horrified’ by the thought of a terror attack taking place at one of her shows, as one did in 2017 at popstar Ariana Grande’s gig in Manchester.

The singer, 34, was due to perform in front of an estimated 170,000 fans on August 8, 9, and 10 at Vienna’s Ernst-Happel-Stadion, which was set to be reinforced with more security measures before the three shows were cancelled last night.

‘Taylor has been devastated by this. She is devastated for the fans who have been waiting for years to see her,’ an insider told The Mirror, in the first indication of Swift’s reaction following the news.

‘But the thought of what could have happened if the concerts had been targeted by a terror attack is horrifying, and she would never risk the safety of her fans.

‘The memory of what happened at Ariana Grande’s concert in Manchester is still very vivid in everyone’s minds. But she has told her team that she wants to try to return to Vienna as soon as possible in the future. She is very conscious of how disappointed her fans in Austria are.’

“Swifties” gather in Vienna at the Corneliusgasse, after the government confirmed a planned attack at the venue and the cancellations of Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna.

Swift’s concert promoter Barracuda Music posted a statement last night informing fans that the concerts were being called off, leaving tens of thousands disappointed after they had fought to get tickets to the sold-out tour.

‘Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Vienna Shows Cancelled Due to Government Officials Confirmation of Planned Terrorist Attack,’ the post read.

‘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.

‘All tickets will be automatically refunded within the next 10 business days.’

It comes as the full horror of the terror attack three teens aged 15-19 planned to launch at a Taylor Swift concert in Austria has been laid bare.

The 19-year-old main suspect was arrested in Ternitz, south of Vienna, Wednesday morning while a second teen, aged 17, was detained in the Austrian capital in the afternoon, according to director-general for public safety Franz Ruf.

A 15-year-old has also been questioned after he was identified as a suspect, an intelligence official told Reuters.

The suspects – who allegedly radicalised themselves online – took ‘preparatory actions’ for an attack – with the 19-year-old ‘focused’ on Swift’s Vienna concert, Ruf confirmed.

The 19-year-old suspect had quit his job and announced that he had ‘big plans’ on July 25, Ruf revealed at a press conference today, adding that the teen also ‘significantly changed his appearance’ and that the 17-year-old had recently broken up with his girlfriend. ‘There has been a clear social change,’ Ruf added.

Austrian media reported the suspects’ plans included driving a car into groups of Swifties expected to gather outside the venue before attacking with machetes and knives.

The 19-year-old fully confessed to his plans to ‘kill as many people as possible outside the concert venue’, Austrian security officials said.

Ruf confirmed today that ‘explosives were manufactured’ at his home after local media reported that the 19-year-old had stolen chemicals from his workplace to build a bomb.

Investigators have revealed: 

• ‘Teen planned to kill himself and a large crowd’
• Second suspect was already at the stadium
• Radicalised Islamist had recorded a video claiming responsibility
• Attack was due to take place tonight or tomorrow
• Teen had detonators and fake police vehicle blue siren and ‘thinks it is right to kill non-believers’
• ‘ISIS is back… key players are receiving instructions from abroad’
• 19-year-old suspect quit his job and announced ‘big plans’ two weeks ago

The 19-year-old man – who was living in his parents’ house along with another man – was arrested on Wednesday after police raided the home, according to Kronen Zeitung.

A bomb squad found chemical substances, fluids as well as ‘explosive and technical devices’, according to Ruf, after raiding the home and it is believed that the 19-year-old stole these from his workplace.

Ruf confirmed at a press conference today that the ‘preparatory action’ in the home in Ternitz focused on the manufacturing of explosives.

Among the substances was hydrogen peroxide, which Ruf said is used to create explosives. ‘Explosive were manufactured,’ Ruf added.

The suspects reportedly planned to ram a car into fans outside the stadium as it is well known that those who missed out on tickets will still come to the venue of Swift’s shows to listen from outside, like a week ago in Munich when 40,000 ticketless fans gathered on hills outside the Olympic Stadium.
