Hundreds of Swifties gather in Vienna to sing Taylor Swift's songs in wake of cancelled concerts
Fans gathered on the streets of the city to sing together in light of the cancelled Eras tour shows.
Hundreds of Swifties gathered at Vienna's Corneliusgasse - to chant the US super stars songs after her Vienna concerts were cancelled due to a planned terror attack.
Organisers cancelled the three Taylor Swift concerts in Austria after authorities said they foiled a terror attack planned for the Vienna leg of her blockbuster Eras tour.
"Due to confirmation by government officials of a planned terrorist attack at the Ernst Happel Stadium, we have no choice but to cancel the three planned shows for everyone's safety," organisers Barracuda Music said in a statement.
Nonetheless, Swifts came out en masse to gather together and enjoy the US star's music.
One fan shared a video showing hundreds gathered to sing Swift's 'Bad Blood' on the streets of Vienna.
Swifties singing throughout Vienna, this is incredible to experience and so comforting to unite together in the wake of darkness. Thank you for all the Swiftie love and the Austrian gov’t for keeping us safe #swifties #TaylorSwift #ViennaTStheErasTour #swiftiestrong… pic.twitter.com/jTzF1NlB3c
