Taylor Swift is facing immense pressure regarding her ongoing Eras Tour, which includes stops in London, Miami, and various locations across the U.S. and Canada.
According to insiders, the singer is now performing her three-hour concerts in a bulletproof full-body suit, developed by the U.S. Army. This specialized gear marks the first time a civilian has been allowed to use such protective equipment, and it’s intended to shield her from potential threats during performances.
“This is incredibly exhausting for her,” insiders reveal. “Singing, dancing, and performing acrobatic routines for three hours in this suit is a monumental feat.”
The decision to implement this precaution follows a terror threat in Vienna that led to the cancellation of Swift’s concerts there. Officials arrested two teenagers accused of plotting a terrorist attack, prompting concert promoter Barracuda Music to cancel the three scheduled shows for safety reasons. Approximately 200,000 fans were expected to attend the sold-out Vienna concerts.
Juliette Kayyem, former U.S. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary, commented on the cancellation, highlighting the severity of the threat, which included an insider with potential access to the venue and a focus on the less-secured areas outside the concert hall. The global threat environment has heightened, particularly in the wake of the ongoing Israeli-Hamas conflict, making high-profile events like Swift’s concerts potential targets.
