Fans flocked to a small street near the stadium to trade friendship bracelets and commiserate about the cancellations
concerts in Vienna. Hundreds of euros, if not more, dropped on flights and hotels. Tens of thousands of Swifties, bedecked in homemade friendship bracelets, devastated by the cancellations of three Eras Tour shows in Austria after authorities foiled an apparent attack plot., killing as many people as possible using knives or self-made explosives.
The fans gathered on Corneliusgasse specifically because the street name echoes “Cornelia Street,” the name of a contemplative synth-pop track from Swift’s 2019 album, “Lover.” Both suspects appeared to be inspired by the Islamic State group and al-Qaeda, authorities said. The main suspect, aged 19, had also posted an oath of allegiance online to the current leader of the Islamic State group, authorities said. The suspects’ names were not released in line with Austrian privacy rules.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said officials have learned lessons from a 2017 attack during an Ariana Grande concert at northwest England’s Manchester Arena in which a suicide bomber killed 22 people. Khan said Thursday that this month’s Swift shows will go on. Some North American fans have travelled abroad in “tour tourism,” a pattern that emerged during Beyoncé’s Renaissance world tour. The phenomenon occurred when fans noticed that tighter restrictions on ticket fees and resales in Europe made it no more costly – and potentially cheaper – to see Swift perform abroad rather than closer to home.
