Taylor Swift is speaking out about her canceled shows in Vienna as Coldplay’s Chris Martin and Maggie Rogers pay tribute to her in that same stadium. Taylor Swift just completed a string of shows in London after having to shut down previous shows after authorities discovered a terrorist plot. She has now spoken out saying, “Having our Vienna shows canceled was devastating. The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, but I was also so grateful to the authorities because thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives.”

And if anyone thinks she took too long to address, she added: “I am not going to speak about something publicly if I think doing so might provoke those who would want to harm the fans who come to my shows. In cases like this one, ‘silence,’ is actually showing restraint.” Coldplay has opened the doors at the same venue in Austria and Maggie Rogers joined Chris Martin for “Love Story” as a tribute.
