Swifties bash Taylor Swift’s ‘lack of empathy’ following her statement on Vienna terror plot

It’s been a “Cruel Summer” for these Swifties.

Taylor Swift fans from around the world are bashing the singer for her “lack of empathy” after she finally addressed the foiled terror plot targeting her Eras Tour concert in Vienna.

In her Wednesday statement , Swift never directly addressed the 200,000 stranded fans who were out thousands of dollars.

“I think her statement is absolutely ridiculous and completely lacks empathy,” said Erica Vuitton of Kips Bay, who paid $1,200 for the hotel and $4,500 for the flight to the doomed shows.

“She is not the big-hearted fan-loving performer she pretends to be. It’s sad that the rose-tinted Taylor glasses were ripped off.”

The pop star’s Instagram statement came two weeks after the terror threat was revealed by Austrian police on Aug. 7.

“Having our Vienna shows canceled was devastating,” she wrote.

“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.”

In the post, Swift, 34, also explained her silence.

“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,” she wrote.

Jessica Smith, 33, of Colorado, said she didn’t approve of the wording the songstress used when addressing her disappointed fans.

“The phrase, ‘Let me be clear,’ felt like an attack for us,” said Smith, who paid $4,500 in total for her trip to Vienna with her husband, Luke.

“We, the fans, were also scared for our safety and went through a lot of emotions and just wanted some sign that she cared. Instead, we got silenced and then basically reprimanded in the statement for wanting closure. It just felt like a rushed statement to shut us up.”

After the Vienna concerts to be held on Aug. 8, 9 and 10 were canceled, Swift continued with her planned shows in London starting on Aug. 15 at Wembley Stadium, which Vuitton, 55, said didn’t make sense amid the terror threat .

“She pops up a week later at Wembley, known for riots by overzealous Londoners, with Ed Sheeran and clearly no fear in the world,” she told The Post.

“Not what you would expect from someone whose entire persona is about being mama bear to her Swifties.”

In the statement, Swift explained that she “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.”

Smith was disheartened to see that Swift’s statement seemed to focus more on the shows in London than it did on Vienna.

“Vienna got three sentences and the rest was about how perfect London was,” she griped.

Noam D. of Israel, who spent close to $1,800 on her trip to Vienna, agreed.

“I’m pretty disappointed in her statement considering it took her a tremendous amount of time and it got overshadowed by her paragraph about London,” she said.

“I think she should’ve made the statement in a separate story or post.”

Erika McDonnell from Prince George, Canada said Swift’s post “demonstrated a lack of connection to her fanbase.”

“Her statement felt so unlike her compassionate and empathetic statements of the past,” said McDonnell, 28, who shelled out $2,500 on airfare and accommodation for her trip to Vienna.

“It honestly felt dismissive, passive-aggressive and totally tone-deaf.”

However, some fans, like Heather Argrave of Prairieville, LA, who went to the Eras Tour in Amsterdam last month, thought Swift’s silence was warranted.

“I do agree with her waiting because as someone who traveled to a part of the world I knew very little about, if a threat would have appeared like in Vienna, and she commented on it immediately I would have been worried about going to the concert after this threat due to the fact that immediately commenting would have antagonized these terrorists,” said Argrave, 39.

C.C. Moreno of Gulf Shores, AL, also praised Swift for how she handled the situation.

“I’m glad she’s giving herself grace,” said Moreno, 32.

“I think she needed time to emotionally process that her and her fan base were the target of such hate.”

Vuitton, Smith and McDonnell have stopped listening to Swift’s songs since Vienna.

“I feel like I lost a hobby and a community, which has been really sad,” Smith said.

“I hope to be able to listen to her again someday because her songs are amazing and used to heal me, now they just hurt me,” added Vuitton. “I think she’s lost a lot of fans over it, me included.”
