A German court on Tuesday convicted the 16-year-old boy accused of helping to plot a terror attack at a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna, Austria, in August 2024. The suspect was previously charged with preparing a serious act of violence and supporting a terrorist act of violence abroad. Swift was forced to cancel three shows in the Austrian city due to terror threats. “But I was also so grateful to the authorities because thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives. I was heartened by the love and unity I saw in the fans who banded together.”
