Heartbroken Taylor Swift fans consoled each other in the streets of Vienna Friday after three of her sold-out concerts in the city were canceled by organizers over an apparent attack plot.
Hundreds gathered on Corneliusgasse, a small street just 5 kilometers (3 miles) from the stadium whose name echoes that of “Cornelia Street,” a contemplative synth-pop track from Swift’s 2019 album, ‘Lover’. Many of them had traveled from across the globe.
They sang Swift's top hits, took selfies and traded friendship bracelets.
Swift fans often swap the beaded bracelets, typically bearing Swift’s song titles or popular phrases, with strangers at her concerts.
Even as the fans belted out her lyrics, the superstar has not spoken publicly about the plot or canceled shows.
“Taylor Nation,” a verified Instagram page widely believed to be run by her team, reposted the announcement from Barracuda Music, while her main account has not posted anything.
Last month, when a suspect in England killed three girls and wounded 10 people in a knife attack during a Taylor Swift-themed dance and yoga class, the performer said she was “completely in shock’’ over the violence.
