9. SOUNDBITE (English) Anna-Maria (last name not given), 17 year-old student from Sofia, Bulgaria:
"It’s actually really sad that this is actually the world we live in and that this is happening right now. Because this concert used to be a safe space for everyone. And now it’s just a threat. No one is feeling safe anymore going to this kind of concerts. Yeah, that’s what I think."

11. SOUNDBITE (German) Omar Haijawi-Pirchner, director of Austrian security services:
"The arrested supporter of the Islamic State has clearly proclaimed his Islamist mindset online. He consumed a lot of media, a lot of propaganda and after securing his phone yesterday we also learned that he not only consumed such media but also spread it. Additionally he also downloaded manuals for building bombs – we have secured these. He read up on building bombs, he also read up on materials needed for constructing a bomb.”

STORYLINE:
Fans of Taylor Swift are devastated by the cancellations of three sold-out Eras Tour shows in Austria after authorities foiled an apparent plot for an attack in Vienna.
Fans, known as Swifties, took to social media to express their devastation at missing out on one of the superstar’s shows.
Some who posted on the social platform X lamented months of now-wasted efforts to make friendship bracelets and pick out fashionable outfits for the performance.
Many spent thousands of euros on travel, hotels and food in one of the most expensive European capitals.
"They said that the concert is cancelled and I just started crying in the restaurant," said Anna-Maria , a 17 year-old student from Sofia, Bulgaria who only gave her first name.
The 19-year-old main suspect was arrested in Ternitz, south of Vienna, and had pledged an oath of allegiance to the Islamic State group, according to Franz Ruf, the public security director at Austria’s Interior Ministry.
The director of Austrian security services Omar Haijawi-Pirchner said Thursday the suspect was radicalized online.
"He is clearly radicalized in the direction of the Islamic State and thinks it is right to kill infidels,” Haijawi-Pirchner told a news conference in Vienna.
Chemical substances and technical devices were found at the suspect’s house.
A second person was arrested in the Austrian capital.
Several Austrian media reported Thursday that additional suspects were being sought — something police did not officially confirm.
