Taylor Swift has spoken for the first time about the chaotic event in Vienna, where she was supposed to hold 3 concerts for all her fans. The shows were canceled earlier this month after it was announced that 3 suspects aged 17, 18 and 19 would carry out a terrorist attack.
Tay expressed that he felt a new kind of fear and a lot of guilt for the situation. Through a post on social networks, where she also celebrated the end of the tour in Europe, the singer said: "Cancelling the shows in Vienna was devastating. The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of dread and a huge amount of guilt because so many people planned to come to those shows. But I am also very grateful to the authorities, because thanks to them we would have concerts filled with sorrow and not life".

She also said that on her tour in Europe, she has sung in front of the most passionate crowds she has ever seen, introduced new traditions in performances and added a totally new "era". she was proud of the crew and performers who accompanied her, citing the massive stage and extensive travel.
The singer thanked fans for their love and solidarity and said all her energy was focused on protecting the nearly half a million people who had gone to see the shows in London, following the cancellations in Vienna.
According to the head of state defense at Austria's interior ministry, Omar Haijawi-Pirchner, the 19-year-old suspect intended to kill himself in a large crowd of people.
