LONDON – Taylor Swift will return to the stage in London on Aug 15 to end the European leg of her “Eras” tour, a week after her Vienna concerts were cancelled due to a suicide attack plot.
Three alleged Islamic State sympathisers have been arrested on charges of plotting the atrocity, which was thwarted with the help of US intelligence. Following the knife attack, Swift said she was “completely in shock” and at a “complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families”.London’s mayor Sadiq Khan told Sky News that the city was “going to carry on working closely with police, ensuring that the Taylor Swift concerts can take place in London safely”.
Fans without tickets will also not be allowed to “tay-gate” the event – the practice of Swift fans standing outside the venue during the live show to hear the music.
