Taylor Swift gets emotional breaking her silence as she returns to stage after Vienna terror plot

Taylor Swift kicked off her Eras Tour show in London with a heartfelt speech today - marking her first performance since the cancellation of her Vienna concert .

The pop sensation made a triumphant return to the stage tonight at the renowned Wembley Stadium, her first appearance since her scheduled shows in Vienna, Austria were abruptly cancelled due to a foiled terror plot. Taylor's concerts were originally set to take place at the Ernst-Happel Stadium on August 9, 10 and 11 but were subsequently called off.

Two teenagers, aged 19 and 17, were apprehended under suspicion of planning Islamic State-inspired attacks on large-scale events in the Austrian capital. The older suspect had reportedly pledged his loyalty to the current leader of the Islamic State online, and bomb-making materials were discovered in his residence.

A third suspect has since been taken into custody.

As she commenced her show tonight, belting out fan-favorites like Cruel Summer and Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince, she addressed the crowd saying: "The way that you have chosen to welcome us. There are 92,000 of you, out here, with your hands in the air - screaming the words . Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. We love you so much London."

"I know how much planning and energy and effort it took to come to these shows I really appreciate that," she further expressed.

Earlier this week, Taylor Swift was seen celebrating her successful tour with her extensive entourage. The squad hit up the swanky Annabel's club in London, where Taylor reportedly made her exit at 3 a.m. She had arranged for six buses to shuttle her entire team to and from the exclusive hotspot before their highly anticipated sold-out performances at Wembley Stadium.

In light of the recent show cancellations in Vienna, London's Metropolitan Police have offered reassurance to fans attending the upcoming Wembley gigs. They stated: "London plays hosts to a significant number of very high profile events each year with millions of visitors having a safe and enjoyable experience. The Met works closely with venue security teams and other partners to ensure there are appropriate security and policing plans in place. There is nothing to indicate that the matters being investigated by the Austrian authorities will have an impact on upcoming events here in London."

Subsequently, it was announced that there would be some schedule adjustments for the event.

The concert tonight kicked off with doors opening at 4pm, featuring an opening act by singer Sofia Isella, followed by a performance from Paramore. The event is also expected to draw a crowd of notable celebrities, as has been the case with previous London shows.
