Taylor Swift fans are devastated by canceled Eras Tour shows in Austria over apparent attack plot
Associated PressVIENNA — Pricey tickets for sold-out Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna. The fans gathered on Corneliusgasse specifically because the street name echoes “Cornelia Street,” the name of a contemplative synth-pop track from Swift’s 2019 album, “Lover.” The title refers to a street in New York City’s Greenwich Village, where Swift rented a luxury apartment in 2016 and fans now visit to take selfies. “I’d never walk Cornelia Street again.” Swift has not spoken publicly about the plot or canceled shows. London Mayor Sadiq Khan said officials have learned lessons from a 2017 attack during an Ariana Grande concert at northwest England’s Manchester Arena in which a suicide bomber killed 22 people. Karoline Pedersen of Norway planned to go to a London concert — she already saw Swift in May at a Sweden show — but now has second thoughts even though police there say the Austrian plot has no link to the U.K. “It is not pleasant to have to look over one’s shoulder.
