The U.S. megastar was forced to cancel the three Vienna shows of her record-breaking "Eras" tour in the summer of 2024 after authorities warned of the plot by the so-called Islamic State group (IS).
Accused of planning the attack and forming an IS cell, the jury found Austrian national Beran A. guilty on all counts after deliberating for hours.
The judge then handed him a 15-year jail sentence.
While listening to the verdict, Beran A. looked into the court room repeatedly, sniffling loudly, his leg and hands shaking.
