    All three concerts in Vienna Austria have now been cancelled due to the attack risk the organisers have just announced
  • @JasminDolly
    Im disappointed as an Austrian seeing what our country has come to
  • @blansbelausgsbaka
    I guess you could say the men were swiftly arrested. I'll go ahead and see myself out now.
  • @matthewbaynham6286
    It's strange when she says "Austria in Europe", it's almost as if people in the USA in North America are expected to not know where Austria is.

    Religion of peace --- and media wont say their names because of "islamophobia". same with black. but if any other race or religion, they say it.
  • @thetourtedpoetsdepartmentt
    This is js not okay dude.I’m getting worried abt Taylor and the fans. There is little kids at theses shows,wanting to see their warrior,idol and much more.Killing Taylor swift fans or just people in general is not good. That’s cruel. Last Week innocent girls were killed. I hate this type of violence to innocent people.

    Probably no one without a ticket allowed to listen to the concerts outside the venue (or even to buy merch outside the venue) anymore. Entering or exiting fans might have been the target (just like when a suicide bomber targeted fans exiting the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, United Kingdom in 2017).

    I never was a fan but now that I see how much insignificant men hate her, I root for her. I love you Swifties!
  • @sporadics
    when arresting the suspects, instead of reading them rights, the cops said "Look What you made me do...."
  • @pamelatimmins1055
    Just a few minutes ago, it was reported that all three of Taylor's concerts have been canceled, and refunds will be issued. This is so tragic, there are so many hate-filled crazies out there. Stay safe Taylor and team. Come home safely. We love you. Travis must be worried sick about you, as we all are.
