A terrorist plot to attack Taylor Swift’s Austrian concerts was thwarted on Wednesday, after authorities arrested two suspects who were found in possession of chemical substances and plans to terrorize the venue—and now all three of the pop star’s shows this week in Vienna have been canceled.The suspects were planning to use the substances to attack Swift’s upcoming Eras Tour at Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadium. The men were reportedly radicalized online and at least one is believed by authorities to have pledged allegiance to the Islamic terrorist group ISIS last month, according to Austrian outlet Kronen Zeitung. Austria’s Director General for Public Safety told Kronen Zeitung “The suspected perpetrator was focused on the Taylor Swift concerts” and “Preparatory actions were detected,” but the “concrete threat has been averted.”Hours after the arrests, authorities told the outlet that accomplices are still being investigated as “abstract danger” may still exist, so organizers announced they had no choice but to cancel the shows, according to ABC News. Prior to the cancellation, security measures were being increased to accommodate massive crowds expected for the sold out tour stop. Read more at The Daily Beast.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
