British police have indicated that the planned attack on a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna will not affect her shows at Wembley Stadium in London next week.

A threat led to the cancellation of Swift's three Vienna concerts, expected to draw 195,000 people. However, a spokesperson for London's Metropolitan Police stated that the matter under investigation by Austrian authorities would not impact upcoming events in London.

Swift's record-breaking Eras tour visited London for three nights in June and will return to Wembley on August 15 for five nights before heading back to North America. Austrian police have detained two suspects, one of whom focused on Vienna concerts. The Met Police emphasized that millions enjoy safe experiences at high-profile events yearly and assured that they work closely with venue security teams to ensure adequate security and policing plans.

The spokesperson added that any new information would be reviewed carefully.
