Terror Plan To Attack Taylor Swift Shows Foiled In Austria

If there's one thing we know, religious extremists hate joy, especially for women. Via the New York Times:

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has been canceled in Austria after officials announced the arrest of two men whom they accused of plotting a terrorist attack in Vienna, with one of them focusing on several stadium shows the singer had planned for this week.

[...] Officials in Austria said at a news conference on Wednesday that two men had been arrested and accused of plotting a terrorist attack. One of them, a 19-year-old Austrian citizen, had recently pledged allegiance to the Islamic State online and had focused on the Eras Tour as a potential target, said Franz Ruf, an Austrian public security official.

Law enforcement carried out a raid at the man’s home in Ternitz, a town south of Vienna, and found chemical substances, Mr. Ruf said, noting that officials sent a bomb squad to the home.

Recently, her fans became a target for a violent attack in England last week, when three young girls died in a knife attack in Southport during a Swift-themed dance class. A 17-year-old boy was arrested.
