A new development has emerged in the case of the foiled terror plot targeting Taylor Swift's Vienna Eras Tour concerts. According to reports, a 15-year-old from Germany has been arrested in connection to the threat. This comes after Taylor, 34, was forced to cancel three concerts in Vienna last month due to concerns of a terrorist attack.
Initially, three suspects were arrested in relation to the cancelled gigs, one of whom was a 19-year-old caught with two large knives. Now, the investigation has led to the arrest of the teenager in Germany. The Federal Prosecutor's Office has confirmed that the suspect is being investigated for allegedly recruiting for a terrorist organization abroad. At this time, no further information is being provided.
It has been reported that authorities have confiscated devices from the suspect's home, where they lived with their family. The teenager was allegedly in contact with the 19-year-old suspect and had been under surveillance by authorities for some time. They are said to have communicated through an encrypted messaging service, discussing weapons and explosives.
While the Federal Prosecutor's Office has not confirmed a connection between the two suspects, it has been speculated by Bild that they were planning the attack together. The 15-year-old has already appeared in court, but the outcome of the hearing is not yet known.
The CIA has also confirmed that the plot was targeting "tens of thousands" of concert-goers, with the Ernst Happel Stadium holding up to 60,000 people. Taylor herself has spoken out about the incident, stating that she had a "new fear" after the attack was foiled. She later addressed the situation on social media, expressing her gratitude to the authorities for their swift action.
In her statement, Taylor also addressed the criticism she received for not speaking out about the attack sooner. She explained that her priority was to finish the European tour safely, and she did not want to provoke any potential harm to her fans. She added that her silence was a sign of restraint and she was relieved that the tour ended without any further incidents.
