Swift is set to perform in Vienna, Austria, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for the international portion of her Eras Tou. According to Franz Ruf, director-general for public safety in the Ministry of Interior, the two were arrested on Wednesday by Austria’s Cobra Unit.
It was also revealed that one of the suspects was 19 years old and had been radicalized online and pledged allegiance to ISIS at the beginning of July.

Taylor Swift Will Be Available To Attend Most Chiefs Games
Swift made waves within the NFL community last year after continuously coming to Kansas City Chiefs games to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. Of course, her attendance was not always perceived positively and created a lot of animosity among NFL fans.
This year looks no different, as her plans to continue cheering the team on do not look to change.
According to usmagazine, Swift could be available for 12 of the Chiefs’ 17 games, with concerts for her Eras Tour preventing her from attending the rest.
Whether or not you enjoy Swift being shown so much at these games, there’s really no way to avoid it, as she could easily be in attendance for a majority of the regular-season games this upcoming season.
