Taylor Swift London Concerts to Go Ahead, Backed by Counterterrorism Forces
Breitbart ^ | 08/11/2024 | Simon Kent

Posted on 08/11/2024 6:43:55 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Taylor Swift’s concerts at Wembley Stadium in London later this month are set to go ahead as planned – with probable added security measures specifically deployed to foil potential terrorists.

The move comes after the cancellation of her three Eras Tour concerts in Vienna, which were targeted by an Islamic state-connected terrorist plot and foiled by U.S. and Austrian officials, as Breitbart News reported.

Ironically, it seems it’s people like her and her fans who turn a blind eye to terror or even sympathize with its goals.

I’m not sure what to make of this. On one hand, you cannot let the terrorists control the narrative. On the other hand, you simply cannot stop an Islamist who is determined to stab people. All security can do is minimize the number of victims.

Regardless, I don’t see Taylor Swift as deserving of any criticism here, except that it would be nice if she spoke up forcefully against radical Islam. But no one else does. So it would be quite a surprise if she did.

Taylor Swift is so nice to put on a show for those downtrodden electrical engineers and microbiologists. And getting the local tipstaffs to keep out the native riff-raff will be a big help! /s 🙄

It takes people like that to get personally bit on the ass before they get a clue to REAL reality......by that time it’ll be too late.

Who made her so popular recently that she outranks all world happenings? I’m beyond sick and tired of her but there is something very suspicious going on. As you said, why her and not the people. How many regular folk got raped, attacked and their property destroyed? Why is she even there? The sun has set on the British Empire.

OTOH, she can get security but Harry and MEghan can’t, LOL.

Well, as I understand it she’s not exactly a follower of Jesus Christ.

What little I know of Taylor Swift doesn’t impress me. But as long as she doesn’t advocate violence (like some rappers do), I say to each his own.

And of course parents should be always aware of what their kids are listening to.

There it is. Taylor Swift has the full backing of Government. She is now a government sponsored ‘artist’.

Some day I’ll get around to listening to one of her autotunes.

How many of her fans are “free Palestine” types?

I had been wondering why Swifts shows were going to be canceled due to a couple of teenagers claiming to follow ISIS. And I still think it’s odd one of the kids readily admitting to wanting to kill “as many people as possible” and they were going to accomplish that by driving a car into a crowd? It doesn’t add up.

I happened to see most of one of her music videos. It didn’t really sound like music to me. Horrible. It’s more like bad poetry with digital percussion in the background.

Oh please. Give it a break. Taylor Swift should be able to have a concert and people should be allowed to enjoy it-even if it takes extra law enforcement.
UK did this to themselves-not Taylor Swift.

I thought Swift was anti gun. I guess guns are OK when protecting her, but the rest of us peasants don’t need protection.
