Austrian chancellor Karl Nehammer has praised Taylor Swift and her team for acting “responsibly” after her concerts in Vienna were cancelled due to a foiled threat.
170,000 fans were expected to flock to the city to watch the singer on her sell-out Eras Tour.
“The truth is it’s unimaginable to think about the immeasurable damage that would have been caused if this attack had succeeded”, he said in a press conference, adding that police had found “weapons” and “explosive” equipment in the aftermath.
Instead, Swifties gathered in Vienna city centre, and sang their favourite Taylor Swift songs.
