A 21-year-old Austrian man has finally been sentenced to 15 years in prison for planning an attack on a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna during the singer's 'Eras Tour' in August 2024.

The man, named only as Beran A in line with Austrian privacy laws, was also found guilty of a string of other terrorism-related offences.

He was arrested after a tip-off from the CIA just before the first of three sold-out Taylor Swift concerts was due to take place in Vienna's Ernst Happl stadium. All three Austrian shows were immediately cancelled, to the dismay of almost 200,000 fans and the singer herself.

Taylor Swift previously described how her record-breaking Eras Tour had narrowly "dodged a massacre situation". A tour documentary revealed the singer had learned about the bomb plot while travelling to Austria.

Shortly after the foiled attack, Taylor said it had filled her with "a new sense of fear" - and that the cancellations left her with a "tremendous amount of guilt".

But she added on her social media: "I was also so grateful to the authorities because thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives."

The Vienna concerts were the only cancelled concerts on Taylor's historic The Eras Tour. The singer didn't completely cancel any of the 149 shows because of illnesses or any kind of personal reason, showing her strong will and devotion to her fans and craft.

Do you think 15 years is a big enough sentence for planning such horrific crimes?.
