We have a new update on Taylor Swift‘s canceled Vienna concerts due to a terrorist plot. The three shows were supposed to take place earlier this month but were canceled after local authorities arrested two men over an ISIS-connected terrorist plot.
Now, a CIA official is speaking out after they discovered the plot and notified Austrian authorities, which led to the arrests.
