Taylor Swift's much-anticipated trio of concerts in Vienna has been cancelled following a confirmed terrorist plot. The Austrian government and concert organizers announced the decision late Wednesday.

Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer lauded the cooperation between local police and international agencies that led to the early identification and intervention against the threat. 'A tragedy was prevented,' Nehammer commented. Tickets will be refunded, organizers assured on social media.

Authorities detained two suspects allegedly planning the attacks, with one 19-year-old suspect noted for a specific focus on Swift's concerts. Police also conducted raids in Lower Austria, collecting evidence. Swift's concerts were part of her record-breaking Eras Tour, now moving to London for her next performances.
