After finishing the European leg of The Eras Tour, Taylor Swift finally addressed her silence on the cancellation of her shows in Vienna due to a terrorist plot.

Walking onstage in London was a rollercoaster of emotions. Having our Vienna shows cancelled was devastating. The reason for the cancellations

This will be sufficient for her fans but for me feels like a cop out. She stays silent and the threat happened anyway. Saying “I’m sorry” isn’t going to cause an attack.

also couldn’t help herself by dropping “half a MILLION” fans coming to see ME

I suspect that many of her fans won’t be satisfied re: her statement on Vienna.

I think most of her fans were already making excuses for her so this really just gave them ammo against the Vienna fans who were upset

[alwaysu2]

You’re probably right but I did see tweets questioning her complete silence. I think it’s a weird caption tbh.

I was not prepared for that amount of wording. And in typical Ontd fashion I am not reading it lol

Just to be nosy, what exactly were people wanting her to say about it?

[weighty_ghost]

I mean, it’s two weeks later so imo, more about the time has long passed to say anything of meaning

yeah if this would have come out sooner after it was cancelled, it would have been better received.

talking about the shows that did happen in london probably feels awful for the people who had their concert cancelled.

I think it's less what people wanted her to say and more her stating unequivocally that she won't say anything about the cancelations/circumstances irl. Nobody would've said anything if she didn't, but the fact she made it a point to say as much kind of makes it seem like she's putting her nose in the air on the whole thing.

Add that to her not speaking on the U.S. election despite Trump touting a fake endorsement? It's simply a bad look.

"Let me be very clear: I am not going to speak about something publicly" might as well have been the whole post, Taytay. You don't get ass pats for instagram posts no matter how many times you mention your crowd sizes.
