Terrorism: Terror alert before Swift concerts: USA passed on information

For security reasons, Taylor Swift’s concerts in the Austrian capital Vienna were cancelled. Information about the attack plans also came from the US superstar’s home country.

The US government says it shared intelligence information with the Austrian authorities in the case of the Taylor Swift concerts, which were canceled due to the threat of terrorism. This was confirmed by the communications director of the National Security Council, John Kirby, when asked in Washington. “Hopefully it will come as no surprise to anyone that the United States naturally has a permanent focus on combating terrorism,” said Kirby. The government works closely with partners around the world to monitor and counter threats. In this context, information about the threat to Taylor Swift’s concerts in Vienna was also passed on to Austrian partners.
