A woman reportedly ruined the most special moment in the lives of two teenage girls after calling them “trash”. The two Swifties shared the nine-second clip on TikTok and claimed that they were harassed by an older woman because of their skin color, on the floor of PGE Narodowy Stadium in Warsaw.

She allegedly called them, “You guys are trash. Sorry but you look like trash.”

One of the girls, a 16-year-old named Neriya, said, “Taylor Swift would be very disappointed. I have never been harassed the way I was at the Taylor Swift concert the other night, being a teenage girl and having a group of grown women harass [sic] me and my sister for the only reason being our skin color is an experience I’ll never forget.”

The lawyer of a 19-year-old suspect, who was reportedly planning to execute an ISIS-inspired suicide attack at Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna where Taylor Swift was to perform, has defended him.

Lawyer Ina-Christin Stiglitz told Reuters, “It interested him. It was just playing with ideas. He says the bomb wasn't of good enough quality, it wouldn't have worked.”

Swift's three planned concerts, estimated to be attended by thousands of fans, were canceled after Austrian authorities discovered the terror plot. The event's organizer, Barracuda Music, said it had “no choice but to cancel” the shows “for everyone’s safety.”

Garrison-Turner reportedly said, “I completely understand why they canceled, it was the right call, but it doesn't make it any less heartbreaking as we've never seen (Swift) before. We are devastated that we won't get the opportunity to see her, ticket scalpers are selling tickets for thousands each for Wembley and it's just too much for us.”
