Taylor Swift Addresses Vienna Cancellations in Heartfelt Eras Tour Recap

Taylor Swift wrapped up the European leg of her Eras Tour on Tuesday night with a final show in London. Over several months, she performed in 11 countries and 17 cities. The 14-time Grammy winner took to her Instagram page to share a heartfelt message about her experiences.

While the post covered the entire European leg of the tour, Swift spoke for the first time about the three shows in Vienna that were canceled due to a terroristic threat. “Having our Vienna shows canceled was devastating,” Swift wrote. “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. But I was also so grateful to the authorities because thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives.”

Swift continued to explain her prolonged silence on the situation. “Let me be very clear: I am not going to speak about something publicly if I think doing so might provoke those who would want to harm the fans who come to my shows. In cases like this one, ‘silence’ is actually showing restraint, and waiting to express yourself at a time when it’s right to. My priority was finishing our European tour safely, and it is with great relief that I can say we did that.”

It was a fitting and touching conclusion to an incredible summer of music. The Eras Tour finishes up in December, and Swift will resume touring in Miami, Florida on October 18.
