After canceling her Vienna shows because of an alleged ISIS-inspired terror plot, Taylor Swift is set to take the stage in London for her Eras Tour. Fans are eagerly awaiting her performances at Wembley Stadium while authorities have implemented stringent safety protocols to protect the estimated 90,000 attendees per show.
Swift is set to perform five shows at London’s Wembley Stadium starting Thursday, Aug. 15, and heightened security measures are in place, including additional ticket checks, restrictions on bag sizes, and a ban on items such as laptops and glass containers.
Fans without tickets will also not be allowed to congregate outside the venue.
The foiled plot led to the cancellation of all three of Swift’s shows in Vienna, affecting thousands of fans who had made travel arrangements.
Despite the disappointment, Swift’s fans have rallied together, offering support and exchanging tickets. The Swiftie community has even been praised for its devotion and generosity, with fans selling tickets at face value.
Three suspects, including two teenagers, were arrested in Austria for allegedly planning the ISIS-inspired attack on Swift’s Vienna concerts using explosives and knives.
Taylor Swift’s European leg of her record-breaking tour began in Paris in May, with the star continuing the perform across the continent. After her performances in London, Swift will travel back to North America to perform.
