Taylor Swift performed at a party in Vienna for the first time since the cancellation of her tour date.
Pop sensation Taylor Swift made a public appearance last week after her concerts in Vienna were cancelled due to a terrorist attack. On Monday evening, she hosted a party for her Eras Tour crew in London to lighten their spirits. Taylor was scheduled to perform in Vienna on August 8, 9 and 10 as part of the Eras World Tour.

Taylor Swift’s first appearance since the attack threats
Taylor was spotted leaving the chic, members-only club Annabel’s wearing an outfit from Vivienne Westwood’s Fall-Winter 2024/2025 collection. As Page Six reported, she brought some color into the mix as she partied with her Eras Tour collaborators in a colorful checked skirt and matching three-quarter-sleeve double-breasted blazer.
The Lover singer completed the look with a Wizard Frill shirt from the same designer, a brown handbag and green Mary Janes with white socks. She wore her hair down to match the occasion and sported smokey eye makeup with her classic red lips. Despite the party and the chic look, the 14-time Grammy winner appeared a little disturbed.
Taylor has not spoken out since the tour cancellation announcement in Vienna, and fans are divided on the matter. While some are disappointed by her silence on the issue, others are defending the pop star, claiming in Deuxmois’ comments section, “She is probably following specific instructions from government officials and security.”

Arrests in the wake of the terrorist attack in Vienna
The Austrian authorities have arrested several young people in connection with the attack. The three men, who are said to have sworn allegiance to IS, “wanted to carry out an attack in the area outside the stadium and kill as many people as possible,” reports Omar Haijawi-Pirchner, head of the Directorate for State Security and Intelligence.
Despite the threat and the cancelled tour, fans gathered in the streets of Austria, singing Taylor’s hits and exchanging friendship bracelets, a tradition of the Eras Tour
