Yep! I'd suspect as long as she is within striking distance of maintaining or acquiring the #1 spot, she's going to be taking advantage of said situation with a release. Can she get to 20 weeks? This next week will presumably be her 14th! ETA: wait why is she waisting releasing this week when Kanye is definitely taking that top spot? lol

I hope she manages to beat Kanye.

Even if TTPD drops out of #1 on the Billboard Top 200, it will come back. I think she will easily get weeks 14, 15 and 16 be they consecutive or not.

I’m devastated. I was ready to leave tomorrow morning for Vienna, literally just finished packing when I saw the news. Now I’m dealing with trying to get train and hotel refunds, all for bookings that are technically not offering any. There are a lot of people who spent a lot more than I did, and I can’t imagine.
Security is always the top priority and I’m thankful they saw there was a plot. But why is this the world we live in? This should have been such an amazing experience.

It sucks for the fans who had tickets to the Vienna shows but it’s better to be safe than sorry. No one wants another Manchester. Hopefully Taylor can get back to Vienna in the near future and those who had tickets get first priority for new ones.
Scary situation though and I’m glad it was thwarted.

The concerts got cancelled about an hour after I landed in Vienna yesterday 😢
But safety first. F*ck those brain dead scum bags who caused this. And f*ck everyone online who turned Taylor Swift and Swifties into open season for no reason other than spite/boredom. First the UK and now this? Horrifying.

I just hope that because this failed that there is no other plot for some other place/concert.

Well I'm glad they caught this before it happened.
However, so sad for the fans. They were robbed of an awesome experience. Her concerts are such a safe space. Concerts in general are a place where people can let go and disassociate from life for awhile. To try and take that away, is sinister and evil. Radicalized terrorists trying to take the lives of innocent bystanders is sickening.
Fortunate they found these criminals. Hope Taylor can revisit soon. Knowing her - she will make it right as soon as possible.

I am sure such things are devestating for fans, especially those who were coming from other countries or were gathering money for a long time.
On another note I see that one young man arrested for wanting to blow himself and others is Albanian from North Macedonia.
Makes me wonder if he is against pop music and such, why he chose Taylor Swift and not maybe Dua Lipa as she is Albanian... So that revenge for going against some muslim way of thinking may kinda seem 'personal' Dunno... Just read some comments about it and kinda see the parallel.

Taylor is a bigger name and draws bigger media attention than Dua. In the end, that was most likely their goal when it comes to attacking a concert.

One of the two primary suspects had just been hired for security at the concert.
I doubt he was the only one, which is why they couldn't guarantee the safety of the attendees.
According to the AP, Austrian officials said that one of the suspects was “clearly radicalized in the direction of the Islamic State and thinks it is right to kill infidels.”
I imagine they have to be concerned about the upcoming London shows.

wjr15 that is true, but any other big star would gain the same attention... I mean, in the end it is not about the star but innocent people, like Bataclan in Paris or Ariana concert

I wonder how incredibly expensive it would have been for Taylor to hire her own security team. It’s a multimillion dollar business, I wonder if that’s something she’ll consider for her next tour so her team can personally vet the security. Stadiums are basically at her mercy and would agree to her terms with the kind of money she brings in.

It’s a multimillion dollar business, I wonder if that’s something she’ll consider for her next door so her team can personally vet the security. Stadiums are basically at her mercy and would agree to her terms with the kind of money she brings in. That would be optimal, but it would be prohibitively expensive to have hundreds of security personal on her payroll to cover these stadiums. Not to mention paying for them to travel, ensuring they have visas, liability insurance, etc. Attendees that are kicked out, etc. also sue stadium security justified or not. Moreover, each stadium's layout and structure is unique as well as the national and local laws on everything. Even if her team tried to vet each security person hired by each stadium's security staff, it'd be a huge task from background checks, privacy laws, employment laws, liability, insurance, etc. The logistics are far more complicated than it may seem on the surface. There's still no guarantee someone couldn't slip through. These guys were on the Austrian government's watch list and one still got hired. Not sure how a Taylor team could get more background info than the local stadium. It's awful, but concert attendees shouldn't assume they are completely safe. I work a lot of concerts. I always have my own plan should something happen.

Terrorism is such a horrible thing. Violence is always so wrong, and it feels as if this stuff is happening more and more and more. Just a sad thing.
