VIENNA, AUSTRIA: NFL star Travis Kelce was reportedly in a state of panic after learning that Taylor Swift's concerts in Vienna, Austria, were canceled due to a thwarted terrorist plot.
An insider revealed that Kelce, who has been dating Swift for over a year, "immediately" called her upon hearing the news, expressing deep concern for her safety.
Terror plot against Taylor Swift's Eras Tour
The planned attacks, which targeted Swift’s Eras Tour, were foiled by Austrian authorities, leading to the arrest of two teenage suspects. These individuals, aged 17 and 19, allegedly intended to drive a bomb-laden vehicle into the Ernst Happel Stadium and carry out a massacre using machetes and explosives.
The suspects had been hired to work security at the event and were reportedly aligned with ISIS ideologies.
Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer stated, "The suspects actually had very specific and detailed plans to leave a bloodbath in their wake.”
Swift has not publicly commented on the incident or the cancellation of her shows. Despite the terror threat, her fans, known as Swifties, have shown their unwavering support by gathering in the streets of Vienna, singing her hits in solidarity.
