VIENNA, Aug. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite the
unexpected cancellation of three Taylor
Swift concerts in Vienna,
fans of the pop icon are experiencing a weekend filled with
camaraderie and unforgettable moments. The cancellations were made
for safety reasons, but the Swifties did not let it dampen
their spirits and have instead showed remarkable unity using the
hashtags #TaylorInVienna and #ViennaSwifties.
""Cruel Summer" turns into "Shake it off" - Vienna is doing everything it can to ensure
that the thousands of Swifties who have traveled to our city still
have an unforgettable weekend. Vienna would like to thank all
the fans for their understanding and solidarity, whose reactions
show that nothing and nobody can destroy the cohesion in our
society." - Norbert Kettner, CEO
of the Vienna Tourist Board.
Vienna Opens Its Doors
In a remarkable gesture of hospitality, Vienna is opening its doors wide for the
disappointed fans:
- Free Admissions: Museums and public pools in the city
are offering free entry to all ticket holders, providing them with
memorable experiences.
- Free Meals: Burger restaurants are offering
complimentary meals to fans.
- Comforting Crystals: Swarovski is gifting each
ticket holder a sparkling crystal as a keepsake and
consolation.
Unity and Community
Taylor Swift fans in Vienna are showing an unprecedented sense of
community. Despite the cancellations, many fans are gathering
throughout the city to sing their favorite songs together and
support each other. Cornelius Street
(as a reference to Swift's song "Cornelia
Street") in the 6th district became a hotspot for their
spontaneous singing and dancing. The atmosphere was marked by deep
connection and a positive spirit. Numerous videos of these touching
moments are currently going viral, showcasing the strong bond among
Swifties.
Free Burgers and Secondhand Shopping
For those feeling peckish, the burger chain Le Burger is
inviting all ticket holders for a free burger. Le Burger has two locations: Mariahilfer Straße
114 in the 6th district and Rotenturmstraße 15 in the 1st
district.
For those still searching for the perfect Taylor Swift outfit despite the concert
cancellations, Vienna has plenty
to offer. For all things glitter, there's no better address than
the Swarovski flagship store on Kärntner Straße. All guests who
present a Taylor Swift concert
ticket at the reception will receive a "crystalline surprise"
(valid until August 10th or while
supplies last). And for those looking to snag some boots or
accessories while on a budget, there are many gems to be found in
Vienna's vintage stores.
Beyond that, the world's most livable city also offers much more
for Taylor Swift fans. Cat lovers,
just like Taylor, will feel right at home at Katzencafé Neko or
Barista Cats. And don't be surprised if you stumble upon open-air
events and festivals at some very unexpected places while out
sightseeing in Vienna. It's
Kultursommer, and there's a lot happening.
Positive Feedback
The response to these past few momentous days in Vienna can't compare to a concert experience –
but it has nonetheless been overwhelmingly positive. Fans are
reporting unforgettable encounters and new-found friendships formed
during this exceptional time. "It was incredible to see everyone
come together and make the best of the situation," said one
enthusiastic visitor. "The support and kindness from the Viennese
were simply amazing." Above all, there has been a genuine
understanding for the decision to cancel the concerts.
