After two suspects were arrested, it is reported that 'three other suspects' targeting the 'All Too Well' hitmaker's 'Eras Tour' shows in Austria have not been found.

AceShowbiz - A new detail about a terror plot at Taylor Swift's "Eras Tour" shows has been revealed. It has been reported that a number of suspects are still at large after two others were arrested following a foiled terror plot.

On Wednesday, August 7, The Kurier newspaper spilled more information about the terror plot at the 34-year-old superstar's concerts in Vienna, Austria. According to the media outlet, "three other suspects" have not been found.

The revelation came after it was announced that Taylor's concerts at Vienna's Ernst Happel Stadium have been canceled. She was originally slated to perform for three nights straight, from Friday, August 8 to Sunday, August 10.

The concerts were canceled following the arrest of two suspects. Authorities have revealed that a 19-year-old suspect, who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, was arrested in Ternitz, south of Vienna. A 17-year-old second suspect was apprehended in Vienna. These arrests were made after authorities became aware of "preparatory actions" for a possible attack, focusing on Taylor's concerts.

Franz Ruf, the public security director at Austria's interior ministry, confirmed the threat, "The 19-year-old perpetrator had focused on the Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna" and had become radicalized on the internet. The suspects had detailed plans, and a bomb squad found chemical substances during the 19-year-old's arrest. Investigators are now determining if these could have been used to build a bomb.

In the wake of the cancellation, Taylor received supportive messages from her fans, famously known as Swifties. One in particular wrote, "Our thoughts and prayers are with Taylor and her fans right now." Another chimed in, "This must be so hard on her and everyone attending but safety is so much more important."

A third penned, "Omg she's never cancelled a show before, she must be so sad and all those people who bought tickets don't get to see her with so much difficulty. Praying for her safety." A fourth stated, "The hate for swifties and taylor has gone way too far... i cannot believe that now people are going to the lengths of TERRORISM just to target and harm innocent people just because they like ONE artist."
