Blake Lively is busy promoting her new film, It Ends With Us, in London. While walking the red carpet at the premiere event, Lively shared her reaction to the recent terror threat, which was aimed at Taylor Swift during her Vienna concert.
Lively revealed that, according to her, the plot was terrifying, but now she is relieved as the danger no longer persists. As per the officials, the men who planned to attack the shows had aimed at mass casualties, and were trained enough to pull out a “terrorist attack.”
Soon after the arrest, the police department released an official statement in which they detailed the information about the accused. As per the statement, the men were also carrying explosives and knives with them to harm the audience. As per the statement, “Both suspects had become radicalized on the internet and had taken concrete preparatory actions for a terrorist attack.”
It further read, “The main suspect had sworn an oath of allegiance to IS [Islamic State] on the Internet and chemical substances were seized in his apartment during a house search.”
After the terror threat was deactivated on the spot, a Taylor Swift fan page shared on their Instagram stories that the shows were cancelled due to the chaotic situation. The cancellations were also mentioned in the statement dropped by the police officials. It stated that the government officers had denied permission to host the concert at the Ernst Happel Stadium after a terrorist attack was cut off at a close call.
