A 19-year-old Islamic State supporter planned a suicide attack at one of the three concerts of Taylor Swift in Vienna, which had been due to start Thursday. All three shows were canceled on Wednesday.

The suspect confessed he intended to execute an attack using knives and explosives. He added that his goal was to kill a large number of people and himself during the concert.

So disturbing to hear about this! It's really unsettling when such threats target something as joyful as a concert. Glad the shows were canceled to keep everyone safe. It’s a reminder of how important security and vigilance are at public events.
