Taylor Swift is speaking up on the cancellation of three of her shows in Vienna after authorities foiled a suspected planned attack on the venue.
“Having our Vienna shows cancelled was devastating,” the singer-songwriter wrote on Instagram. “The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, and a tremendous amount of guilt because so many people had planned on coming to those shows.”
Swift also expressed her gratitude to authorities: “Thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives.”
The “Lover” singer was expected to draw more than 150,000 people for three consecutive nights of her show at Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadium this month.
