Published on April 28, 2026.
The man responsible for planning a terror attack on a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna, Austria, has pleaded guilty to charges related to the 2024 terror plot. The 21-year-old man, named Beran A due to Austrian privacy laws, is accused of planning to "kill as many people as possible" during the event. Swift's three shows in Vienna for the Eras Tour were cancelled due to the terror plot, and two additional suspects were also arrested. The terror plot was intended as part of a coordinated siege of multiple sites during Ramadan in the name of Islamic State. The arrests were made thanks to information provided by the Austrian authorities and their partners in the intelligence community.
