Taylor Swift surprised fans in Vienna by offering a consolation gift after having to cancel three shows in the Austrian capital due to a thwarted terrorist plot.
The 34-year-old pop superstar partnered with Disney+ to give her international Swifties a chance to watch her record-breaking Eras Tour concert film for free during a special television premiere, per People.
The streaming giant teamed up with cable station ORF to broadcast Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) in Austria on Saturday.
Additionally, Disney+ is providing a limited-time, seven-day free trial of its Premium service for Swifties eager to stream the movie starting August 10.
The goodwill gesture follows news that Vienna fans had received free crystal necklaces from Swarovski after the heartbreaking cancellation of Taylor’s shows.
The Vienna Tourist Board had taken to social media to share ways that fans, who flew in from all around the globe to see Swift, could enjoy their time in the city.
One suggestion was to receive a ‘crystal surprise’ from the Kristallwelten Swarovski store.
After making the announcement, X users confirmed, that in exchange for showing their ticket to one of the canceled shows, they were given a necklace.
‘Swarovski are giving away necklaces to Vienna Swifties,’ one fan posted via X on August 8. ‘You just have to show your ticket.’
The necklaces featured a large crystal set on a gray leather string.
Some of the pieces were colorful circle pendants while others featured clear blue stones.
Video on TikTok showed hundreds of fans lining up at a store to claim their gift.
A day later, the Vienna Tourist Board revealed that ‘due to overwhelming demand’ that the store did run out of the necklaces.
The arrest of a third suspect was announced on Friday.
The teen, like the two others arrested earlier, was reportedly radicalized by the Afghanistan-based ISIS-K.
Police say the main suspect, a 19-year-old man, planned to attack the tens of thousands of Swifties who gathered outside the Ernst Happel Stadium, with knives and machetes.
The suspect, allegedly put together explosives as well in order to ‘kill as many people as possible,’ officials said.
‘The group is considered the greatest external terrorist threat to the continent,’ claimed UN undersecretary for counterterrorism Vladimir Vorokov, who said the group had increased its recruitment efforts on the continent, according to ABC News.
The disappointment of not being able to see Swift perform did not prevent thousands of fans from taking to the streets to trade friendship bracelets and sing Swift’s songs.
‘When Swifties take all over your street,’ wrote a fan on TikTok showing some of the celebrations.
Swift is scheduled to resume the last leg of the European portion of her Eras tour in London, with increased security, beginning August 15, where she will perform five shows at Wembley Stadium.
Prices for any remaining tickets have surged by up to 2,000-percent on resale websites such as Viagogo, Vividseats, Stubhub and Gigsberg.
Figures by Coinpoker.com indicated the same standing tickets can now be found on resale websites for as much as £6,515, the cheapest ticket available is £416.
On initial release, costs ranged from £58 for restricted view seats, to £110 for general admission standing.
