An 18-year-old Iraqi national was arrested in Vienna for allegedly plotting an attack on a Taylor Swift concert, Austrian authorities confirmed on August 9, 2024. The suspect, who reportedly swore allegiance to ISIS, was linked to a 19-year-old Austrian suspect who planned a deadly assault on 20,000 concertgoers. The plot led to the cancellation of Swift's Vienna shows. Two other Austrian youths, aged 17 and 15, were also detained. The investigation continues with further interrogations and searches. Swift's next concert is scheduled for London, with no expected impact from the Vienna plot.
