What’s going on with Taylor Swift?
Taylor Swift’s bad luck: Had to cancel show due to terrorism, threw party for crew but was criticized for being insensitive and silent
While reaping a series of unprecedented achievements with the “super tour” The Eras Tour , suddenly when arriving in Europe, Taylor Swift suddenly faced a series of bad luck. She is receiving a lot of criticism for being considered insensitive to the scandals surrounding her.
Taylor Swift suddenly encountered a series of “disasters” when bringing The Eras Tour to Europe
Canceled all 3 shows in Austria due to terrorist attack threat
Recently, the music community was shocked to learn that Taylor Swift’s three shows on The Eras Tour at the Ernst Happel Stadion (Vienna, Austria) were canceled when a terrorist attack plan was revealed. Taylor Swift’s three shows from August 8-10 in Vienna were immediately stopped when authorities discovered a terrorist plot targeting the concerts.
Taylor Swift’s 3 shows in Vienna canceled due to terrorism concerns
The head of Austria’s State Security and Intelligence Service, Omar Haijawi-Pirchner, said the main suspect wanted to use knives or homemade explosives to attack Taylor Swift fans outside the stadium in order to cause a mass casualty event at the concerts.
Taylor Swift’s team suffered a huge loss when they had to refund all ticket prices to fans.
If the Eras Tour shows in Austria were to take place, each show would attract around 65,000 spectators, not to mention the 15,000 spectators standing outside the stadium each night. Taylor Swift’s three shows in Vienna, if they were to take place, could attract around 240,000 spectators, further demonstrating the seriousness of the incident if the terrorist attack actually occurred.
Fans gathered in the streets to comfort each other and sing Taylor’s songs.
Taylor Swift’s crew also suffered a significant loss when they had to refund all tickets that had been sold to buyers within 10 working days. A source close to the production team of The Eras Tour confirmed to Variety that the average revenue of a show is around 14 – 17 million USD, meaning that Taylor Swift earned between 353 – 429 billion VND per show. This means that Taylor Swift’s 3 canceled shows in Vienna could cause the crew to lose up to 51 million USD.
Fans divided, criticizing female singer for being insensitive, going to bars until 3am
A week after the announcement of the cancellation of the show in Austria, Taylor Swift has not made any official statement. This has disappointed many netizens. Under the organizer’s post, dozens of people questioned the reason for the Fortnight singer ‘s silence, even criticizing her.
“The Snake King” has yet to comment on the incident in Vienna.
Some fans have criticized their idol for his indifferent attitude towards those who spent time and money to see the show but did not get what they wanted. Not stopping there, according to information collected by The Sun, after arriving in the British capital on August 12, Taylor rented the entire Annabel’s for the night of the same day, plus 6 52-seat buses to transport staff.
Taylor Swift decided to throw a party for the Eras Tour staff to thank the crew before starting the last 5 shows of the European leg in the UK on August 15-20. The source added that after canceling the shows in Vienna, Taylor wanted to give back to the people who worked for her. The beauty born in 1989 wanted to raise the morale of all the staff during this difficult time.
Female singer throws party for crew while remaining silent, causing mixed reactions from fans
After a period of silence since the decision to cancel the show, the female singer born in 1989 was discovered leaving the luxurious members-only club Annabel’s in London (UK) at 3 pm on August 12 (local time) with a trendy outfit from the Fall Winter 2024/25 collection of British brand Vivienne Westwood, making fans feel even more indignant.
However, some fans also spoke up to defend her. Given the danger of the terrorist group IS and serious incidents such as terrorism, fans said that Taylor could not make a statement arbitrarily, but instead had to carefully consult with her PR team and the authorities.
The pain of the murdered young fan has not subsided…
Earlier in late July, armed police and medical staff immediately appeared at a dance school in the town of Southport, Merseyside (UK) immediately after receiving news that a knife-wielding attacker had attacked many people there. This event shocked the world media when the victims were all very young children! It is known that this was a workshop with activities such as singing, dancing, yoga, making bracelets… on the theme of Taylor Swift and had about 25 children between the ages of 6 and 11 participating. The time of the horrific incident was at 11:47 – just a few minutes before the program ended.
Taylor Swift was devastated when she heard the news
Two children died in the attack. Nine others were injured, six of whom are in a critical condition. Two adults were also injured while trying to protect the children. Merseyside Police Chief Constable Ackman added: “Nine other children were injured , six of whom are in a critical condition. All of those injured were stabbed during the attack, and two adults are in a critical condition after being injured in the incident.
A 17-year-old boy from Banks in Lancashire, originally from Cardiff, has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. He has been taken to a police station where he will be interviewed by detectives.”
Scene of the massacre
Taylor Swift, in response to the heartbreaking tragedy, painfully wrote on her Instagram story: “Yesterday’s horrific events in Southport have haunted me to the core… The loss of life, the innocent people who have suffered such terrible tragedies, both for their loved ones and those left behind. They were just very young children, attending a dance class! I am completely devastated, my thoughts are with the family at this time…”
Taylor Swift hires anti-terrorism team for next concert
After the terrorist threat in Austria, in preparation for The Eras Tour in the UK, Taylor Swift and her team have tightened security in this area to prevent the worst case scenario and protect the safety of fans. TMZ reported on August 11 that The Eras Tour organizers have increased their prevention of terrorist threats targeting concerts at Wembley Stadium, London from August 15-20.
According to the program announcement, the local police department will coordinate with the Safety Advisory Group (SAG) and relevant agencies “to ensure the highest level of security standards.”
Fans have begun arriving at Wembley, England.
The site reports that Taylor Swift has partnered with FGH Security, a private counter-terrorism firm. Ben Knott, the firm’s CEO, told TMZ that his services often monitor areas outside events, especially crowded areas, to look for suspicious individuals. Swift has previously hired snipers for security, so it’s not hard to imagine her adding another layer of security and counter-terrorism to keep fans safe at her shows in the UK.
Her team from the same city has increased security for upcoming shows.
The management also does not allow spectators to stand outside the entrance or on the Olympic Steps in front of the stadium. Anyone who violates the rules will be asked to move by the authorities. The organizers also stopped outdoor music activities.
Compared to other areas in Europe, Wembley is considered one of the safest venues in terms of anti-riot measures, with the authorities having put in place many high-level security measures. However, the news site said that the organizers should be concerned about the fans standing outside the stadium. They are fans who do not have tickets but still want to hear Taylor perform live. In late July, thousands of people packed a hill in Munich to “take a peek” at the stage inside.
Fans often gather to exchange bracelets, sing, get to know each other,… every show.
Her fans in Munich went up the hill opposite the stadium to watch the show because they didn’t have tickets.
One of the hallmarks of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour stops is for fans who couldn’t get tickets to gather outside the stadium and jam to the music inside. However, that practice has been halted due to concerns over terrorist threats.
