TAYLOR CONCERT TERROR BOMB PLOT

What REALLY happened

ALL-AMERICAN pop sweetheart Taylor Swift — and thousands of her fans — narrowly avoided a brutal bloodbath in Austria after her wildly popular Eras Tour was targeted by ISIS terrorists, lawmen say.

Now, GLOBE has the shocking story from insiders who reveal what really happened behind the scenes, why killcrazy Muslim radicals had Tay-Tay in their crosshairs — and how the would-be bombers were caught!

The Fortnight singer’s three performances at Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna were canceled on Aug. 7 — less than 24 hours before the 34-yearold’s first gig — as authorities announced Western-hating thugs had vengefully planned to drive explosive-laden vehicles into the crowd outside the 50,000-seat venue, butcher concertgoers with knives and machetes, and detonate homemade suicide bombs to take out as many innocent victims as possible!

Franz Ruf, Austria’s general director for public security, chillingly explains, “The suspects actually had very specific and detailed plans to leave a bloodbath in their wake!”

A 19-year-old Austrian with North Macedonian roots — identified as Beran A. — who lived about 50 miles south of Vienna in the town of Ternitz, was pegged by law enforcement as the evil mastermind who recruited a 17-year-old Turkish/Croatian accomplice to work security inside the stadium. The recently hired guard was said to have ISIS and Al-Qaeda material at his home.

Police also nabbed an 18-year-old Iraqi national and a 15-year-old who was questioned but cut loose.
