People took to social media to share their sadness following the news that the Vienna concerts were being canceled. Some had traveled from far and wide for the shows, and although many were disappointed, some breathed a sigh of relief knowing that things allegedly could’ve been worse.
TikTokers such as @katiewood____ flooded social media sharing their stories about how they were looking forward to the concerts.
@katiewood____ ik it might seem stupid to you to cry over it but it’s been a year in the planning, we’ve spent thousands of dollars to make it happen, travelled thousands of miles, made friendship bracelets, and more than anything I have to tell my niece it won’t happen. I’m so heartbroken and so sad. ???? #erastourvienna @Taylor Swift @Taylor Nation @oeticket (Taylor‘s Version)
Tickets will be refunded for the canceled shows. There is no word on if these Vienna shows will be rescheduled at some point.

Swift has not yet commented on the alleged terror plot or the canceled shows in Vienna. This TikToker (@hannahmichelle13), who works in counter-terrorism and violent extremism intelligence, claims that this is unprecedented for Swift and it is unclear if she or the government made the decision to cancel the tour dates in Vienna as this could indicate the seriousness of what is going on.

The TikToker also claimed that there are rumors of Travis Kelce- Swift’s boyfriend- being targeted and having to have a bodyguard. As well, it is alleged that one of Swift’s stalkers almost made it into one of her shows recently. It is evident that Swift has to deal with a lot but this foiled terror threat is “next-level scary.”
