Trace in Vienna: where is Taylor Swift?
Due to an impending Islamist-motivated attack, the three Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna have been cancelled. Since then, there has been an unusual silence on the social media channels of the US superstar, which has sparked speculation.
Silence on Instagram and X: Since the cancellation of her three concerts in Vienna, Taylor Swift has not spoken out on social media. An unusual behavior for the 34-year-old superstar who usually communicates with her fans this way. During her current "The Eras" tour, Swift has thanked her Swifties after each concert stop via Instagram. When three little girls were stabbed to death at a Swift dance event in a children's club in the English town of Southport, the singer also reacted quickly in her Instagram story, expressing her condolences to the relatives. However, Swift has not spoken out on the day of the concert cancellations or on the day she was supposed to perform on stage in Vienna for the first time.
This has sparked speculation. As Swift has a few concert-free days until the next stop of her tour at London's Wembley Stadium, British fans hope that the singer and her team will review the security measures again, so that the performances from August 15 to 20 do not also endanger. Meanwhile, Swifties who are devastated by the cancelled Vienna concerts hope that Swift is working on alternative dates for the Austrian capital in the background and therefore does not want to speak out yet.
Currently, it is said on her official website that the Vienna Swifties will receive the money for the purchased tickets "within the next ten working days." This speaks against a rescheduling of the cancelled concerts.
Barriers in front of Vienna luxury hotel
Another big question that is currently preoccupying fans and media alike is: Where is Taylor Swift anyway? Is she still in Vienna? RTL has gone on a manhunt in front of the "Rosewood Vienna" hotel, where the megastar is said to have stayed. Some local media report that Swift may have already arrived in Vienna on Sunday (4th August), while others write that she only arrived on the 7th or even on the 8th, which would have been the day of the first concert.
"I'm standing in front of the hotel where Taylor Swift is rumored to be staying. Whether that's the case, we don't know. The hotel staff wouldn't or couldn't give us an answer to that. But the barriers indicate that they were at least expecting her here," explained an RTL reporter who was researching on site. According to rumors, the singer is said to have visited the Wiener Edel-Restaurant Steirereck on Wednesday evening. However, there are no evidence photos for this.
Is Swift with Travis Kelce in the USA?
However, it is also possible that Swift did not travel to Vienna after the concert cancellations and flew directly to London instead. She feels at home there, as she has dated the British actor Joe Alwyn for six years and has lived there with him for some time. It is also speculated that Swift used the forced break to fly back to the USA and be comforted by her friend Travis Kelce. The NFL star will play the first pre-season game of the season against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Everbank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida on August 10th.
In Vienna, disappointed Swifties have been gathering since concert cancellations, comforting each other by singing Swift songs together and exchanging fan badges. Even they, who are always well-informed about their idol's whereabouts, are clueless about Swift's current location, as reported by an RTL reporter on the scene. So, the wait continues for any sign of life from the singer on social media.
Despite the terrorism threat, Taylor Swift has remained silent on social media following the cancellation of her concerts in Vienna. The cancellation and subsequent silence have led to speculation about her safety and her whereabouts.
The ongoing uncertainty about Swift's location and her absence from social media have added to the concerns sparked by the terrorism threat. Swift's usual active presence on social media has been notably absent since the cancellation of her Vienna concerts.
