Taylor Swift Cancels Vienna Concert Over Attack Plot

American Singer Taylor Swift has canceled her Vienna tour after Austria arrested a man in connection with an Islamist terrorism plot.

Authorities had previously revealed the arrest of a 19-year-old Islamic State (IS) sympathizer for allegedly plotting an Islamist assault in the Vienna area, warning that he had a "focus" on Swift's three scheduled gigs.

Barracuda Music said on Instagram, “With confirmation from government officials of a planned terrorist attack at Ernst Happel Stadium, we have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone’s safety,” 

The organizers added that all would-be concert-goers would have their tickets refunded. 
About 65,000 spectators were expected at each show scheduled for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
