Taylor Swift has spoken out for the first time since the foiled terrorist plot on her Vienna concert, calling it a "massacre" that she and her team narrowly escaped. In an emotional interview with Rolling Stone, the singer said: "We dodged a massacre." She was left shaken by the events but remained resolute, saying "You block it off" to continue performing for her fans.
Swift's documentary series, The End of an Era, chronicles the harrowing experience and her subsequent return to the stage at Wembley Stadium in London. The singer admitted to having a "weird feeling" going into the final shows of her European tour, but she was determined to push through. Her longtime bassist Amos Heller described Swift as a rock, saying "There's not a challenge she isn't going to conquer."
Swift revealed that one of the highlights of the London shows was a surprise performance with friend Ed Sheeran. In an intimate moment backstage, she admitted to feeling "very hunted" recently. The documentary also shows how Swift met with families affected by the stabbings at a kids' dance studio in London and broke down in tears as her mother offered words of comfort.
Despite facing online backlash for remaining silent on the plot, Swift prioritized the safety of her fans and only commented after wrapping up her London shows. She wrote: "Let me be very clear: 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."

that "we dodged a massacre" comment gives me goosebumps, like she was literally in a life or death situation and came out on top 
her documentary series is going to be so intense, can't wait to watch it 
the fact that she prioritized her fans' safety over everything else is just amazing, i mean who needs online validation when you've got a responsibility to protect people's lives? 
amos heller's "she's a rock" comment is so fitting, taylor swift is definitely the ultimate performer 
It's crazy she and her team were able to escape a "massacre"! The fact that she kept it quiet until after the London shows is pretty wild. I get why she wouldn't wanna stir up drama, but still, irl, it must've been super scary for her and her fans 
Taylor's doc sounds super intense, been following her story and it's crazy how shaken she was but still managed to power through for her fans. The way she blocked out the bad vibes is actually really inspiring 
her team should be getting a lot of credit too for keeping her safe during that whole ordeal 
The way she talks about feeling "hunted" is really intense - I can see why she'd want to keep a low profile after that. 
But also, kudos to her for pushing through with the shows and performing like nothing ever happened. That's some serious rockstar stuff right there! 
I can just imagine how scared Taylor must've been during that foiled terrorist plot on her concert. It's amazing she and her team were able to escape without a scratch 
. I mean, we've all been there where our nerves get the better of us, but she's an inspiration in showing that you can't let terror win 
. And I love how she prioritized her fans' safety over online backlash - a true leader and role model 
.
. She's super emotional about the whole experience, but you can tell she's a total rockstar 
- dodged a massacre and came back stronger than ever 
. I mean, have you seen her with Ed Sheeran? That's some magic right there 
. The thing that really gets me is how she prioritized her fans' safety above all else 
. And I love how the documentary series, The End of an Era, shows this whole ordeal in such a raw and emotional way 
. It's going to be so good!
. like, shouldn't she be more considerate of others' feelings? 
at the same time, i also think it's kinda admirable that she prioritized her fans' safety over her own feelings... or did she really just want to avoid talking about it online? 
and honestly, i'm not sure if i buy the whole "we dodged a massacre" thing either... was it really that close? 
Oh man, Taylor Swift just shared this super emotional story from her Vienna concert documentary 
It's so beautiful that she prioritized everyone's safety and didn't want to put anyone else at risk. 
Like, she didn't even want to comment on it publicly because she knew it might put them in danger. That's just Taylor being Taylor, you know? 
... like, can you blame her for feeling that way?! Being in a situation where she and her team were literally dodging bullets is a whole different level of crazy 
Has she seen any evidence to support this claim? And what exactly does "not speaking about something publicly" even mean? Is that a threat or just some vague reassurance? 
. You have to respect her conviction to keep going, even when it's tough 
. I mean, have you seen that? The cat is just standing there, watching like, totally not paying attention to what's happening, but still somehow managing to knock over utensils and make a mess . I was thinking about how much that reminds me of when my own cat "helps" me with laundry... it's always so entertaining 
. Anyway, back to the news... wow, Taylor Swift is really brave for speaking out after that traumatic experience 
.
I need some more context here...
