Los Angeles – US pop star Taylor Swift revealed on Wednesday that she is experiencing a “new sense of fear” after authorities revealed a plot to attack her concert venue in Vienna and guilt over disappointing fans by canceling three of her shows. the city.
The singer also applauded the authorities for disrupting the plan to injure many people at the Ernst Happel Stadium, which is the place where he was going to play.
“Thanks to them, we had concerts of grief and not lives,” Swift said on Instagram in her first public comment since news of the planned attack broke two weeks ago.
Austrian police have arrested a 19-year-old man who they say admitted to wanting to “bleed” at Swift's Eras Tour.
“The cancellation of our Vienna shows was very painful,” Swift said. “The reason the decision was overturned filled me with a new sense of dread, and a huge amount of guilt because so many people had planned to come to those games.”
Swift said she decided that “all my energy had to go into helping to protect the nearly half a million people who came to see the shows in London.”
The London dates went off without incident and concluded on Tuesday, ending the European leg of the record-breaking Eras Tour.
The singer said that he had not commented before because he did not want to risk harming himself in future concerts.
“Let me be clear: I will not talk about something publicly if I think doing so may offend those who want to harm the fans who come to my shows,” Swift wrote. “In situations like this, 'silence' actually shows restraint.”
The Eras Tour, the highest-grossing concert tour in history, is now on a scheduled hiatus. It will resume on weekends from October to December in the United States and Canada.
