Blake Lively Reacts to Alleged Terrorist Plot at Taylor Swift’s Concerts
Blake Lively has spoken out about the alleged terrorist plot at her friend Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concerts in Vienna. “Oh my gosh, how terrifying,” Lively, 36, said in an interview. “But, thank goodness they are completely on top of it.”
Lively, who is close friends with Swift, 34, declined to comment further on the incident. On Wednesday, August 7, Vienna police arrested two men for allegedly planning a violent attack at Swift’s three shows at Ernst Happel Stadium.
According to a news conference, officials believed that a 19-year-old suspect had reported ties to ISIS and had a stockpile of chemical substances at his home. A third suspect was arrested on Friday, August 10. As a result, Swift’s three concerts were canceled, and all ticket holders were issued refunds.

Concert organizers wrote in a statement, “Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Vienna shows canceled due to government officials confirmation of planned terrorist attack. 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.”
Swift, who has not publicly addressed the incident, is scheduled to resume her Eras Tour on Thursday, August 15, for five shows at London’s Wembley Stadium. The venue is also taking steps to ensure all patrons’ safety.

“The safety and security of fans at Wembley Stadium is of paramount importance,” a statement reads on Wembley’s official website. “We collaborate closely with the Police, the Safety Advisory Group, and the relevant authorities to ensure that the stadium’s security protocols meet the highest standards.”
There is also a “restricted bag policy,” prohibiting purses larger than 11x8x8 (an A4 size), and only letting ticket holders onto the grounds.
“No one is allowed to stand outside any entrance or on the Olympic Steps at the front of the stadium,” the Wembley website reads, noting there will not be any viewing galleries to listen outside. “Anyone hanging around outside the stadium will be moved on by security.”
