Jennifer Aniston’s Career ‘Bucket List’ Revealed Post-‘Stalker’ Incident
She is best known for her role on one of the biggest sitcoms on TV, but Friends star Jennifer Aniston has now revealed her hopes to appear on…
Taylor Swift has broken her silence after her three shows in Vienna were abruptly cancelled due to a foiled terror attack plot earlier this month.
The singer, 34, played her final of eight shows at London Wembley on Tuesday evening, marking the end of the European leg of the Eras Tour.
And returning to social media for the first time since the her cancelled shows in the Austrian city, Taylor admitted the incident ‘filled her with a new sense of fear’ and ‘tremendous sense of guilt’.
Opening up, Taylor took to Instagram as she wrote: ‘Walking onstage in London was a rollercoaster of emotions.
‘Having our Vienna shows cancelled was devastating. 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.’

The star went on to thank the authorities who helped take the correct security measures.
She added: ‘I was also so grateful to the authorities because thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives.
‘I was heartened by the love and unity I saw in the fans who banded together. I decided that all of my energy had to go toward helping to protect the nearly half a million people I had coming to see the shows in London.
‘My team and I worked hand in hand with stadium staff and British authorities every day in pursuit of that goal, and I want to thank them for everything they did for us.’
Taylor also explained why she had so far chosen to remain silent on the circumstances and confessed her priority was finishing the European leg of the tour safely.
She wrote: ‘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 has been a difficult time for Taylor, after the terrorist plot came shortly after three young girls were murdered at a Taylor Swift themed dance class in Southport, Merseyside.
Her Wembley show on August 15 marked Taylor’s first performance since both incidents, which have been undoubtedly hard for her to navigate.
Sharing her appreciation for her August run of shows in the English capital she wrote: ‘And then London felt like a beautiful dream sequence. All five crowds at Wembley Stadium were bursting with passion, joy, and exuberance.
‘The energy in that stadium was like the most giant bear hug from 92,000 people each night, and it brought me back to a place of carefree calm up there.’
