Teen Charged in Plot to Attack Taylor Swift Vienna Concert

A teen in Germany was charged with aiding a terror plot targeting Taylor Swift's Eras Tour stop in Vienna, linked to Islamic State support.

The teen, who is originally from Syria, was accused of supporting a foreign terrorism organization and helping to prepare “a serious act of violence endangering the state.” A 19-year-old Austrian citizen was previously arrested as the main suspect in the case after police found machetes, knives, chemicals, and timers to set up explosives at the canceled show. “The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, and a tremendous amount of guilt because so many people had planned on coming to those shows,” she wrote on Aug. 21.
