Three teenage men, who pledged allegiance to ISIS , were arrested in connection to an attack planned for one of the 14-time Grammy winner’s concerts in Vienna.
The suspects, who are ages 17 to 19, “wanted to carry out an attack in the area outside the stadium, killing as many people as possible,” said Omar Haijawi-Pirchner, head of the Directorate of State Security and Intelligence.

Event organizers expected 65,000 concert attendees, with an additional 30,000 people outside the venue.
While the cancellation left Swifties devastated, hundreds of fans gathered by the venue after the news to sing their favorite songs by the pop hitmaker and exchange friendship bracelets.
