I'm so glad they prevented anything from happening, and I hope her future shows are safe. It makes me really nervous that she has US shows in October and early November.

I’m going to Wembley next Friday, and I am wondering if it is going to go ahead or not. Hopefully there is no more rioting in the UK.

I hope everyone can go and be safe.

The guys that stabbed those kids at a Swift themed dance class was 17 too. wtf is happening with young men/boys being radicalised like this??

[delfintaka]

I don't think we know much about the stabber to put them under the same umbrella like that. These guys seem to have acted on behalf of Islamic State. This, i think, makes the answer to your question more straight forward.

It is unclear that the british guy acted on behalf of any radical religious organization.

[steffi_333]

Radicalised was the wrong word to use, I think. I meant more along the lines of radicalising to violence generally rather than to a specific cause like IS.

How fucking terrifying. I'm glad they were able to stop it ahead of time. People really can't go to a fucking concert without the threat of being murdered.
