‘Swiftie’ Nikki Glaser Praises Taylor Swift for Nixing Vienna Concerts After Terror Plot
Nikki Glaser has praised Taylor Swift for axing her Vienna concerts.
Taylor's three Austrian gigs were cancelled after authorities uncovered a planned terror attack at the Ernst Happel Stadium and Glaser, who had tickets to see Swift in Vienna, believes calling off the concerts was the right decision.
"I did not even think about my safety even once. I was just like ‘I don’t get to see Taylor!’ It was such a selfish thought. I’m obviously so glad everyone is safe and she made the right call," she told Variety.
"I was just despondent. I follow Taylor on tour as much as I follow myself on tour,” . Any time I’m not touring, I find where she is and I go, I’m kind of addicted to it. So I was devastated.

"I’ll be just sightseeing around town on some double-decker bus with my ‘Tortured Poets’ clock choker with my bustier and my skirt. I gotta get some use out of it."
However, Glaser admitted that she has already been to the 'Eras Tour' 17 times so "no one should really feel bad for me".
Meanwhile, it has been revealed that a suspect in the foiled concert terror plot started working at the venue just days before.
Officials revealed a 17-year-old boy suspected to be behind the plot started working at the arena days before the cancellation.
He apparently was employed by a facilities company providing services at the stadium during the shows, before he was arrested by special police forces nearby.
A second suspect, aged 19, has also been arrested.
According to Omar Haijawi-Pirchner, head of the Directorate of State Security and Intelligence, the suspect wanted to take his own life and kill "a large crowd at the concert."
