Taylor Swift seemingly tried to cheer up her The Eras Tour staff after three Vienna shows had to be canceled due to terrorist threats.
The 34-year-old hitmaker threw a wrap party for her team in London on Monday, August 12 at a fancy, members-only club called Annabel’s, per photos obtained by Deuxmoi. Some fans took to the comments to criticize Swift for not speaking out about what happened in Vienna.
“She’s having a party, and hasn’t posted anything about Vienna? Not cool,” one fan commented. However, plenty of other Swifties had the singer’s back, giving her space since one of the star’s “biggest fears” had almost become a reality. “The obsession some of y’all have to demand statements from her is insane, and nothing but self entitlement,” another fan posted.

Swift looked stylish in a red and green plaid mini skirt and cropped blazer set from Vivienne Westwood’s new Autumn-Winter 2024/25 collection. She coupled it with a white Wizard Frill shirt from Westwood, white socks, and platform green Mary Jane shoes. She also carried a small, brown purse.
The “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” singer sported smokey brown eye makeup, and wore her long, dirty blonde hair down in soft waves. Despite the fact that she was photographed leaving a party, Swift did not seem to be in good spirits. This was the first time she had been spotted since being forced to cancel three shows amid a terrorist threat in Vienna, Austria.
Three people were arrested — a 19-year-old and a 17-year-old on August 6, and an 18-year-old in the Austrian capital on August 8 — due to “preparatory actions” regarding a “potential attack” that seemed to be focused on the Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna, per the Austria Press Agency (APA). There was also a 15-year-old who was interrogated, but not investigated.
Following the news, Barracuda Music, the event organizer of the concerts, released a statement saying, “We have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone’s safety.” Swifties decided in the wake of the cancellations to come together on Cornelia Street to trade bracelets and sing songs, like Swift’s “You’re on Your Own, Kid.”
Swift is next scheduled to perform five shows at Wembley Stadium in London, England, from Thursday, August 15 to Tuesday, August 20.
