An Austrian court on Thursday sentenced a 21-year-old man who admitted planning a terror attack on a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna in 2024 to 15 years in prison.
Beran A, whose last name has not been made public in accordance with Austrian privacy rules, was arrested on August 7, 2024, the day before the first of three planned concerts by the pop megastar in the Austrian capital.
All three dates were then cancelled, to the dismay of fans and of Swift, who wrote afterwards that it was “devastating.”
Neither Swift nor any of her fans appeared at the trial in Wiener Neustadt, a town south of the capital.
