After the cancellation of her Era’s Tour Concert in Vienna, August has been a turbulent month for pop star Taylor Swift and her fans, the Swifties. Finally, the CIA reveals all the details about this thwarted bombing, and a shocking truth is finally told.
All Three Era’s Tour Concerts Were Canceled
Taylor Swift was scheduled to perform from August 8 to 10 at Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna. However, Austrian officials revealed on August 7 that a terrorist plot was targeting her concert. When the news of the plotted bombing came to light, the event organizer, Barracuda Music, stated they had no choice but to cancel for everyone’s safety. Taylor Nation, an Instagram account run by the singer’s team, reposted the message. All three concerts were canceled. Taylor Swift’s fans were told that tickets would be refunded.
All Three Perpetrators Have Been Arrested
NBC News reveals the main suspect is a 19-year-old Austrian national with North Macedonian roots. He confessed that he planned to kill himself with a large number of people with knives and explosive devices. The suspect consumed radical Islamist propaganda, as revealed by Austria’s Directorate of State Security and Intelligence. He downloaded manuals for bomb building and homemade explosives. Detonators, hydrogen peroxide, cables, and homemade explosives were found in his apartment.
The second suspect is a 17-year-old Austrian citizen with Turkish and Croatian Roots, who also had ISIS and Al Qaeda material found in his home. The police found videos and screenshots of home laboratories in both suspects. The third teenager arrested was an 18-year-old Iraqi citizen connected to the main suspect’s environment.
CIA Saved Tens of Thousands of Taylor Swift’s Fans
CIA Deputy Director David S. Cohen spoke at the Intelligence Summit and revealed the information used by Austrian police to disrupt the bombing plot targeting Taylor Swift’s concerts in Vienna. As reported by The New York Times and other news organizations, the foiled terrorist plot intended to kill a huge number, “tens of thousands of people, including Americans.”
More than 170,000 people were expected to attend the Vienna Taylor Swift concerts. The Austrian government and police made those arrests because the agency and partners in the intelligence community provided them with information, revealing that it was an ISIS-connected group. Cohen did not disclose how they obtained the information.
Final Thoughts
Taylor Swift finally spoke about the canceled concerts and took this to Instagram after the European leg of the ERA’s tour. It was a real shock, and the cancellation filled her with horror and guilt. Still, she was grateful to the authorities, and thanks to them, they were saddened by the cancellation of the show, not the loss of life. This statement was echoed by Deputy Director Cohen, thanking the intelligence community and the Austrian government for thwarting what would’ve been a tragedy.
