Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” concert film premiered free in Austria over the weekend after all three of the pop star’s Vienna shows were canceled due to a foiled terror attack. Disney+ partnered with Austrian cable station ORF to debut “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” live on Austrian television on Aug. 10, which is one of the nights Swift would have been performing live.
In an Instagram post , Disney+ also said it would offer a seven-day free trial for Swifties wanting to watch the concert film over the next week. The premiere was a small treat to devastated fans who also assembled in large crowds on the streets of Vienna to trade friendship bracelets — a staple at Swift's shows — and sing her songs. Swift herself has not yet spoken out about the tragic turn of events.
