Taylor Swift was forced to cancel her concerts in Vienna after two men were detained for planning an attack at the stadium where she was supposed to perform. There is a statement.

Taylor Swift is currently performing concerts as part of the global The Eras Tour. After three nights in Warsaw, the American artist was set to appear in Vienna. Unfortunately, on Wednesday, August 7, news spread that the ISIS group planned terrorist attacks at the Happel stadium.

According to BBC, citing Director General for Public Safety Franz Ruf, Austrian security services arrested two men who were supposed to be connected with the planned attacks at Taylor Swift's concert.
