Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is heading back to Wembley Stadium for five more sold-out shows in London beginning this Thursday (August 15). These will be Swift’s first gigs since her Vienna concerts were canceled last week due to a foiled terror plot. The entry and start times for the shows have each been moved up by 15 minutes, with fans speculating that Swift will get on stage earlier than her standard 7:25 start time. Fans without tickets hoping to “Taylor-gate” during the concert are encouraged to stay home.
“To support with the safe entry and exit of everyone within the stadium, no one is allowed to stand outside any entrance or on the Olympic Steps at the front of the stadium. Non ticket holders will be moved on,” the venue noted. Regarding the Vienna terror plot, the attorney representing the 19-year-old suspect spoke to the Austrian press, claiming the teenager “had neither the means nor the possibility and the explosives to carry this out.” He described his client as “a lone wolf without social contacts,” while adding “the alleged attack plans were pure fantasies” of a man with likely mental health issues.
