Taylor Swift isn’t letting the foiled terrorist attack on her Vienna shows impact her second leg of Eras Tour shows in London.
As of Thursday morning, the 34-year-old Grammy winner is still set to bring the historic tour back to Wembley Stadium for five shows between Aug. 15 and 20, according to the tour’s site.
Swift — who has not yet personally remarked on the thwarted plots — was initially scheduled to play three consecutive shows in the Austrian capital, beginning Thursday. The tickets for those shows will all be refunded within 10 business days, per the tour site.
The Ernst Happel Stadium shows were canceled Wednesday after local authorities arrested two suspected extremists who had plotted a terror attack at the event — including a 19-year-old Austrian man and a 17-year-old employed at the venue through a third-party vendor.
The 19-year-old suspect, who in recent weeks pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, confessed to authorities that he had planned “to kill as many people as possible” at the concerts.
Islamic State group and al-Qaida material was found during a search of the 17-year-old suspect’s home Wednesday, said authorities.
Just last week, a 17-year-old in England was charged with fatally stabbing three girls under the age of 10 at a Swift-themed dance class, where he also injured eight other children and two adults.
