Taylor Swift fans are swallowing their disappointment and turning the streets of Vienna into a Swifties fan fest in the wake of her shows being cancelled by fears of terrorism.
The pop star was set to play three shows at the Ernst Happel Stadium from Aug. 8-10.
Now, fans gathering in the city and singing along to her top hits while trading friendship bracelets.
Travel blogger Kimberly Kephart shared videos on Instagram Stories of a gathering. The fans sang multiple songs by Swift, including the ironic “You Need to Calm Down.”
Kephart also showed signs on residences supporting Swift.
Other Swifties have posted to social media.
“The Vienna Taylor Swift shows may have been canceled, but you can’t break the spirit of Swifties. This is girlhood. Turning something ugly into something beautiful,” one person wrote in a caption of a video of the group singing the extended version of “All Too Well” from Swift’s Red re-recording.
The Vienna Tourist Board has shared several entertainment options for ticket holders in the city. Several city museums are offering free entry this weekend and the Swarovski Kristallwelten store will give fans a “crystal surprise” to those with a valid concert ticket, among other offerings.
