The European leg of Taylor Swift 's Eras Tour ended on Tuesday with much to celebrate as tons of Swifties could count themselves among the latest lucky crowds to see the singer's massive three-hour show. However, tons of fans also were met with disappointment when the singer made the difficult decision to cancel her shows in Vienna after news broke that suspects had been arrested for allegedly planning a terrorist attack. Taylor Swift spoke more in-depth about the cancellations on Instagram with the following words: Having our Vienna shows cancelled was devastating.
The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, and a tremendous amount of guilt because so many people had planned on coming to those shows. But I was also so grateful to the authorities because thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives. I was heartened by the love and unity I saw in the fans who banded together.
The singer posted her candid thoughts on Instagram along with tons of photos from her recent shows in the U.K. As she continued: I decided that all of my energy had to go toward helping to protect the nearly half a million people I had coming to see the shows in London.
My team and I worked hand in hand with stadium staff and British authorities every day in pursuit of that goal, and I want to thank them for everything they did for us. Let me be very clear: I am not going to speak about something publicly if I think doing so might provoke those who would want to harm the fans who come to my shows.In cases like this one, ‘silence’ is actually showing restraint, and waiting to express yourself at a time when it’s right to.
My priority was finishing our European tour safely, and it is with great relief that I can say we did that. More to come..
