Taylor Swift's upcoming concerts at Wembley Stadium have caused some concern among fans, given the recent tragedies and threats in the UK. It's been a difficult few weeks for both Taylor and her fans, with the tragic events in Southport and the terror threat at her concert in Vienna.
Due to the current climate in the UK, with riots and unease, some fans are wondering if the concerts will still go ahead. The Eras Tour was supposed to continue in Vienna this weekend, but it had to be cancelled after a terror threat was discovered. Increased security measures were initially announced, but unfortunately, the threat was deemed too serious and the entire show had to be cancelled.
In light of this, some dedicated fans have generously offered their Wembley tickets to those who are now unable to attend the Vienna show but still want a chance to see Taylor perform. Despite the cancellations, it is believed that Taylor, who is 34 years old, still plans to go ahead with her Wembley gigs this month.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has confirmed that the city will not let these events affect the Wembley concerts, with the first show scheduled for August 15. In an interview with Sky News, he stated, "We are a capital city, we are an international city, and we regularly host major events such as concerts - even Bruce Springsteen recently performed at Wembley Stadium. We are looking forward to welcoming Taylor Swift back." He also mentioned that lessons were learned after the Manchester Arena attack and that the police are working closely with the city and concert hosts to ensure the safety of everyone attending.
Despite the reassurances, some fans have decided to give up their tickets due to feeling unsafe about attending the concert. The biggest Eras Tour fan account, with over 760,000 followers, announced that they would no longer be attending the final night in London due to the current unrest in the UK. They even offered to sell their ticket to someone who was supposed to attend the Vienna show.
The Eras Tour has been making its way through Europe, with shows in Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, Cardiff, Dublin, and several other countries. Wembley is set to host Taylor on August 15, 16, 17, 19, and 20, with Paramore and several other artists as opening acts.
Currently, the only concerts that have been cancelled are the three shows in Vienna, with automatic refunds being issued to fans. The cancellation was due to a "concrete" plot to attack the venue, which was uncovered by authorities. There has been no mention of rescheduling these concerts, as Taylor has already confirmed that the tour will end in December after returning to the US.
The Metropolitan Police have stated that there are no reports of any concerning activity and that they work closely with venue security teams to ensure the safety of everyone attending events in London. However, there will be increased security measures in place at Wembley for Taylor's concerts.
Policing minister Diana Johnson has also reassured fans that Scotland Yard will carefully assess all intelligence before the concerts. She also mentioned the government's commitment to introduce Martyn's law, which aims to increase safety measures at venues that could potentially be targeted by terrorists.
