Austria's Interior Minister Gerhard Karner has confirmed the cancellation of three Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna due to a serious security threat. The minister stated, "The situation was serious, the situation is serious. But we can also say: A tragedy was prevented."

The three sold-out concerts, part of Swift's Eras Tour, were slated to take place on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at the Ernst Happel Stadium. However, the venue remained eerily empty, with media crews stationed outside.

Thousands of Swifties, who had invested heavily in travel and lodging to attend the shows, were left heartbroken by the sudden cancellations.
