<p id=”par-1_65″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/taylor-swift/?swcfpc=1″>Taylor Swift</a> is one of the biggest stars in the world, and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-fed-eras-tour-team-worlds-most-prized-ham-outrageously-priced-dishes.html/”>“The Eras Tour” continues</a> to make records. While fans adore Swift’s concerts on her tour, she had to cancel her dates in Vienna due to a terrorist threat.

<p id=”par-2_49″>Taylor Swift adores her fans and continues to play sold-out arenas worldwide with “The Eras Tour.” Unfortunately, Swift was forced to cancel three of her shows in Vienna after police arrested three teens aged 19, 17, and 15 on suspicion of plotting a terrorist attack during her show. </p>
<p id=”par-3_48″>“With confirmation from government officials of a planned terrorist attack at Ernst Happel Stadium, we have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone’s safety,” Barracuda Music confirmed, according to <a href=”https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/07/entertainment/taylor-swift-concert-vienna-arrests/index.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>CNN</a>. Explosive devices and detonators and ISIS propaganda material were uncovered at the 19-year-old’s home.</p>
<p id=”par-4_71″>Swift discussed her “fear of violence” in the past, particularly regarding her shows. “After the Manchester Arena bombing and the Vegas concert shooting, I was completely terrified to go on tour this time because I didn’t know how we were going to keep 3 million fans safe over seven months,” she told <a href=”https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a26628467/taylor-swift-30th-birthday-lessons/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Elle</a> in 2019. “There was a tremendous amount of planning, expense, and effort put into keeping my fans safe.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_63″>She added that her “fear of violence” continued into her personal life. “I carry QuikClot army-grade bandage dressing, which is for gunshot or stab wounds,” she said. “Websites and tabloids have taken it upon themselves to post every home address I’ve ever had online. You get enough stalkers trying to break into your house, and you kind of start prepping for bad things.”</p>

<p id=”par-7_71″>“It’s something that we’ve helped her security team handle when she comes to games in Kansas City, and I know the visiting teams that we’ve played this year where she’s shown up have had to do the same thing,” Hunt said, according to <a href=”https://www.distractify.com/p/how-many-bodyguards-does-taylor-swift-have” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Distractify</a>. “She has a really talented security team.

<p id=”par-9_36″>Taylor Swift has been famous since her debut album hit the charts at age 16. A source said that due to her rise in the music industry, she can’t live “any kind of normal life.” </p>
<p id=”par-10_48″>“It’s nearly impossible for her to leave the house without it causing a huge scene,” the insider revealed to <a href=”https://radaronline.com/p/taylor-swift-dons-disguise-scared-public-stalkers/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>RadarOnline</a>. Whenever she travels out of her home, screens or umbrellas “have to be set up to block her from being seen before she’ll get out of her car.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_56″>“It’s not like she can go out and live any kind of normal life, so it’s made her more dependent on her disguises,” they continued. “When she isn’t making an appearance, she rarely goes anywhere without a wig. She’s always been into dressing up in disguises, partly for fun and partly because she values her privacy.”</p>
