KEY FACTS
Swift fans posted videos to social media depicting a large crowd of fans gathered in Vienna’s Stephansplatz square on Thursday to sing some of Swift’s songs, including her 2012 hit “I Knew You Were Trouble” and “Long Live,” a cut from her 2010 album “Speak Now,” with many decked out in Swift merchandise.
Swifties also gathered on the Corneliusgasse street in Vienna—which bears resemblance to “Cornelia Street,” a Swift song named after a street in New York—where they gathered to trade friendship bracelets, a tradition observed by fans at Eras Tour shows, and hang them on trees.
A church located in Vienna, Lutherische Stadtkirche, offered fans a place to stay and listen to Swift’s music on Thursday, and one Swiftie shared a video on X of fans sitting in the pews while her hit “Style” plays.
Some fans shared how the cancelation disrupted their travel plans—including comedian Nikki Glaser, who posted a TikTok altering the lyrics to Swift’s “Cruel Summer” describing how she found out the shows were canceled just before her flight to Vienna.
