Austrian authorities arrested two men in connection with planned attacks at major events in Vienna, including Taylor Swift’s upcoming concerts. One of the arrested men, a 19-year-old, had allegedly pledged allegiance to ISIS and had detailed plans for an attack. Chemical substances were found in his possession, leading investigators to determine if they could be used to build a bomb. Despite the arrests, there are no plans to cancel Swift’s concerts, with police stating that the concrete danger has been minimized. The men reportedly became radicalized through the internet. The 19-year-old is scheduled to perform at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday as part of The Eras Tour. The situation is still developing, and updates are expected.
