My boyfriend just looked at me with tears in his eyes and went like "I‘m sorry you didn’t get to see Taylor but I keep imagining how you wouldn’t have come home anymore and I would have to live with knowing I lost the love of my life and our unborn baby".
I‘m not okay.
"If Taylor was dining so close to you, you also would…" no, Janet, I would not.
I would not storm out of my house in my pajamas to scream at a woman leaving a restaurant with her boyfriend.
There’s a difference between being a fan and being batshit insane.
Neither Taylor nor any of her dancers are posting.
I‘m actually worried they‘ve been told to stay quiet, keep it on the low, not reveal their locations etc.
All of this feels like extreme safety measures and it shows HOW dangerous the situation is.
Updates (press conference):
- the 19y/o threatened in July already to "do something big" and has been planning ever since.
- he was preparing explosives. They found chemicals and technical parts for building dynamite.
- the 19y/o confessed
- apparently no more subjects on loose
My mom just showed me an Austrian newspaper article… dude planned to detonate acid bombs. Police says they probably stopped the biggest terrorist attack Austria EVER had to face. They said it would‘ve been the smaller Austrian equivalent to 9/11.
Cancelling concerts less than a week before they should happen due to "scheduling problems" 💀 mhm ok but Taylor got shit for not playing bc of a terrorist threat.
Wonder if the media is gonna be loud again.
Do you all realize Taylor still has 5 European shows to play?
She CAN‘T speak up now. No, not even a heart emoji.
Everything this woman does reaches millions of people within seconds.
It wasn’t just a bored dumb Austrian kid, he was connected to ISIS and they’re EVERYWHERE.
Apparently police claimed they could keep us safe and Taylor’s management ultimately decided to cancel, having it announced by the event manager (Barracuda).
Thank you, Taylor.
If it wasn’t for you, we would have died tonight.
New information:
Apparently the guy wanted to drive a car into the crowd waiting to get into the stadium. Another wanted to detonate a bomb belt in front of the stadium.
We‘re getting a press conference in 25 minutes.
Are we seriously not gonna talk about that thing under the stage that rides Taylor back to the part at full speed?
Because I know my dumb ass would forget about the mic and go "WHEEEEEEE" every time.
"If you’re not American…"
Never been happier to not be American cause yall deadass expect a SINGER to singlehandedly rescue this shithole of a country at every inconvenience.
Not politicians or activists.
No.
It’s Taylor Alison‘s Swift responsibility to be America‘s savior.
I was supposed to get ready to leave for the greatest night of my life.
Instead I‘m sitting here, watching a press conference about how I would’ve died tonight if I went.
Being mad at Taylor for "not apologizing"?
Okay, hear me out, I‘ve cried for two days now but the LAST thing I expect of Taylor is managing my emotions.
She’s not responsible for any of this and if you truly think she "doesn’t care" you don’t know her AT ALL.
"Why hasn’t Taylor made a statement yet?"
On today’s episode of: I have no basic understanding of terrorism, safety, or the dangers of the internet cause the second I post people can hack and track my exact location.
I‘m tired of uneducated people being so loud.
DIDN‘T I FUCKING TELL YOU SO 24/7? BUT YOU SELF PROCLAIMED TERRORIST EXPERTS KNEW SO MUCH BETTER AND DRAGGED THIS WOMAN TO HELL & BACK.
I don’t wanna see a SINGLE one of you trying to crawl back up Taylor’s ass now. NOT - A - SINGLE - ONE.
Choke on that hypocrisy for all I care.
"Deep down I knew she’d say something, I was just disappointed…" NO.
Fuck this.
Fuck you.
Fuck the fact you are too immature to point your disappointment towards the people who ACTUALLY ruined Eras for us.
No.
I‘m NOT having it.
Hell to the NO.
Ok, am I the only one not mad or weirded out by Taylor releasing the 4 copies?
1. it’s her job and she needs to keep doing it and 2. it honestly feels like a little bit of normalcy again and I really need that somehow.
Good Lord, am I relieved Taylor is okay and took her team out so they could all clear their heads a little before their next shows.
Imagine just locking yourself up and pondering over what else could go wrong, they'd go insane.
‼️I see international Swifties trying to plan big meet-ups‼️
DON‘T.
This isn’t safe!!!
The terrorists weren’t trying to target Taylor, they were trying to kill as many people as possible.
The Eras Tour was only ONE target.
DO NOT GATHER IN LARGE GROUPS, I beg of you!!!
The police is still claiming they wouldn’t have suggested to cancel since they arrested everyone in time and they don’t see the necessity in canceling but they "understand the decision"?
Like, mass panics could have happened at every weird sound. It wouldn’t have been safe.
- he had a fully functional emergency light (like Austrian police cars) and planned on getting into the stadium by pretending to be a police officer.
- one of the recently arrested suspects was already hired as a security guard and would’ve had access to the stadium.
You wanna be mad?
Be mad at this asshole Beran A. who wanted us all dead.
Be mad at the other stupid children who tried to help him.
Be mad at terrorists.
Be mad at ISIS.
Be mad at radicalization.
Be mad at men.
But don’t blame ANY of this on Taylor or her team.
- they‘re not actively looking for suspects anymore today, there’s still people who knew about the plans and they’re looking into finding and arresting those, but apparently they’re not an acute threat.
- all of this happened in the name of ISIS, every culprit was radicalized.
Apparently Barracuda Music said there will be no other Vienna dates (as in reschedules of Eras). They just said it on Ö3 (radio channel).
So we‘ve ultimately been robbed of experiencing THE Eras Tour.
I can’t believe this.
- he planned attacking one of the three concerts (either today or tomorrow)
- he actively informed himself about building bombs and had all the components at home.
- he confessed he planned on stabbing people, then detonating himself and killing as many people as possible
Why do some people care so much about Taylor’s current location?
Am I weird for not giving a damn where she is as long as she’s safe, happy, and healthy, or…?
OF COURSE Americans decide to be assholes on main again.
"Time for Taylor to come home" into a country where people get shot on the daily, yes, so much more safe than Austria.
This is not the time to whip out your xenophobia. Get fckd.
It‘s idiotic that you deadass forget every single good thing Taylor did for years over one stupid pap pic of her hugging someone.
But it seems to be a famous pattern in this fandom.
You know why she’s quiet?
Because every huge newspaper & every single tabloid on the internet would go like: "TAYLOR SWIFT DIRECTS WORDS TO HER FANS AFTER ISIS TERRORIST BOMBING ATTEMPT" and do we really want her name in that context before going on stage in Europe again?
I hate Brittany, I love Taylor, and that’s all I‘m gonna say because I‘m getting TIRED of this whole parasocial bullshit here, so I remove myself from that narrative entirely since it’s pointless.
We can’t, and frankly I don’t WANT to, control Taylor and her social life.
I‘m a Vienna Swiftie myself and while our grief is valid, I need you all to remember that for us it’s over. We‘re safe. We’re alive and sit in the safety of our homes and have time to process.
Taylor needs to put herself out there again. Into potential danger.
Idk how I‘d cope.
‼️Another update for Vienna‼️
Police is looking for more potential suspects.
Stadium has highest safety measures (police, special forces, explosive-sniffing dogs).
PLEASE DON‘T SPREAD ANY FALSE INFORMATION.
If it was too unsafe, the concert would definitely get canceled.
Who you should direct your hate and disappointment towards:
- the fucking terrorist(s)
Who you do direct your hate towards:
- Taylor
- her team
- fellow Swifties who go to Eras London
- fellow Swifties who tell you you’re acting unfair
Some of you need to mature URGENTLY.
Do you realize that you’re always immediately shifting ALL blame to Taylor as soon as something bad only even slightly, remotely related to her happens?
Maybe tackle the ACTUAL problems instead of constantly shitting on a woman you allegedly love so much?
The prosecution officially took over the case of the Vienna terrorists today so yes, this is still VERY much an ongoing case of high priority with so much to unroll.
I am in NO WAY shitting on Chappell Roan with this, but I don’t think she’s cut out for being an artist.
She’s talented but cancelling show after show and leaving fans disappointed will backfire in that business.
She needs to prioritize her mental health but she can’t have both.
The people who complain about Taylor "not saying sorry" about Vienna are the VERY reason Taylor‘s gonna lose the will to say anything about the situation because I bet she’s TIRED of having to prove she’s a good person to people who are hellbent on painting her the bad guy.
The one thing I‘m scared about is Taylor thinking she somehow disappointed us.
I just genuinely hope she knows she has absolutely nothing to apologize for and how endlessly much we love and support her.
The concert I was anticipating for over a year, was ripped away in the blinking of an eye.
Poof. Just gone.
And the fact that if I would’ve gone, I probably wouldn’t have made it out unharmed or even alive…
How does one process all of this?
Everyone's eating up CoHo books like there's no tomorrow and here I am, still traumatized by that one line of one of her books someone posted on Twitter where a dude just casually ate a strand of his girlfriend's hair...
If seeing Taylor Swift as a human being, not just a marionette without feelings who has to function 24/7 to cater to her fanbase, makes me an "ass kisser", I‘m proudly gonna put that in my bio.
I‘m glad it’s better in other countries, but in Austria they will literally hire everyone with a gym membership for security.
No background checks, as long as they’re cheap they’re hired.
🚨 Taylor Swift 𝘐𝘚𝘐𝘚 attackers were hired as security guards for concert
They had chemical 𝘣𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘴 and planned to drive car into 20,000 fans before attacking with machetes and knives
I prefer reading books myself to decide if they're good or not because I've seen so many people sh*t on The Love Hypothesis, The Hating Game, and The American Roommate Agreement and they're literally my favorite books.
The taste of others doesn't define my own.
This is a safe space for the London Swifties!!!
You deserve to experience these concerts without feeling guilty to be happy, giddy, and excited.
ENJOY THEM. ❤️
I‘m sending you a million hugs from Austria ❤️
Atp you’re literally demanding her to put herself, her team, and fans going to the London shows in danger just to be coddled by a few words, and I wish you would finally understand how extremely insensitive, naive, and tonedeaf that is.
I wish I was kidding but the local news page just posted a video of the 17y/o‘s lawyer and his only argument against the (proven) bomb and ISIS facts was "his parents aren’t muslims, they even eat pork brisket at home".
How did you even pass law school, bro?
I can’t 🤦🏻♀️
I understand where these people are coming from but no, we didn't win.
We tried to make the best out of a crappy situation but even if you put glitter on shit, it's still shit.
I‘m crying so hard right now. Partly because I was supposed to be singing and dancing and feeling free with other Swifties right in this moment, partly because I‘m grateful I‘m still alive and unharmed.
when a fictional couple is written so well that you basically fall in love with them and can’t stop thinking about them even when you’re not reading 😮💨
I‘m hereby excluding myself from the German Swiftie bubble cause wtf is wrong with yall.
We received SO much kindness over the past days and now yall wanna ruin shows for people in London because we didn’t get to go?
There’s a difference between sadness and plain bitterness.
Have I just been crying my eyes out again for losing my only show?
Yes. It’s a normal grieving process.
But I don’t need Taylor to coddle me with an instagram post cause I‘m an adult and manage my feelings myself.
And nothing will bring August 8th-10th back anyway, so.
I‘d very much appreciate if you didn’t act like the official voice of "Vienna Swifties" cause I simply don’t agree and I don’t want you to speak for me, thank you.
🧵I know Taylor probably can't say anything. I know how devastated she is, I know she's sad and loves us. But if the London shows just start like nothing ever happened, it will hurt us Vienna Swifties deeply. We feel erased and forgotten,even though we know Taylor's loves us.
Reminder to everyone (and also myself):
Most of is anticipated those concerts for over a year.
Tonight would only be night 2 of Eras Vienna.
Yes, we’re still allowed to grieve and be disappointed this was taken away from us.
And no, it doesn’t mean we’re ungrateful we’re safe!
.
@taylorswift13
normalize telling your fans to shut up every once in a while, you don’t owe them anything and you aren’t their close friend cause some of them need a reality check
I am endlessly grateful for all the Swifties thanking me and saying I can dm them.
The ones who accuse me of "fear mongering" - you’re absolutely free to go to the stadium and help the police look for explosives if you’re that chill about it.
I‘d rather live and warn others.
‼️ Update on the Vienna situation‼️
Suspects have been arrested and are locked up, police states there’s no active threat and no high risk in danger, they’re still gonna keep security measures in front and inside the stadium high, as well as controls when entering.
No bc some of you act like Taylor popped up and went like "hiiii guys I‘m back, here’s 4 new variants, go buy them now, btw isgaf about Vienna lol, ok byeee".
This was the most lowkey release in years and it was probably pre-scheduled for months.
CALL 👏🏻 THEM 👏🏻 OUT 👏🏻
This woman spent too much time proving over and over again what an amazing human being she is just for some FUCKASS FAKE FANS to yap about how she "doesn’t care about Vienna".
I hope you‘re ashamed of yourselves.
She cannot believe your ignorance either.
Taylor Swift addresses the cancellation of her Vienna concerts due to a planned terrorist attack:
“Let me be very clear: I am not going to speak about something publicly if I think doing so might provoke those who would want to harm the fans who come to my shows. In cases like
So I lost followers because I stood up for Donna Kelce?
Because I "blindly support men"?
In case you haven’t noticed, Donna is a woman. Maybe you need to reflect a little on how much making hating men your whole personality slowly bleeds into misogyny. Just my two cents.
The 17y/o is already known by the police and was previously convicted for grievous bodily harm.
He also regularly visited a mosque that’s known to radicalize young men (the 2020 terrorist who shot people in the streets of Vienna went there too) and his lawyer still says innocent
German media is already speculating about Taylor trying to reschedule Vienna dates.
Do they really not understand how traumatizing this must be for her and her team? For us?
I‘m sorry but I cannot even think about a new concert now. I‘m trying to literally just cope.
