In the days before Taylor Swift was supposed to take the stage in Vienna, Austria, her Eras Tour shows were canceled there because of a reported terror attack. Multiple suspects were arrested for reportedly planning an attack, and it was announced that Swifties who had tickets to her three concerts in Vienna and would be automatically refunded. So, now, the pop star’s fans are gathering in the streets to sing the songs they were supposed to hear live, and the internet can’t get over this wholesome moment of community.
Among Swift’s upcoming projects, the Eras Tour is an ongoing event that is now moving from Austria back to the UK, where the pop star will play another set of shows in London before making her return to North America. So, in honor of the concerts that should have been, Swifties gathered in the streets of Vienna to sing together, as you can see below:

While it was important to cancel the performances for safety reasons, there were reportedly going to be 65,000 fans at each show, which means 195,000 folks didn’t get to see who got the “22” hat or experience the surprise songs, and that’s sad. However, as Taylor Swift sings, her fans were still going to “make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it.”
Basically, Swifties took to the streets to perform their own live rendition of the Eras Tour, since they sadly couldn’t see Taylor Swift live on stage. There are so many videos of them all signing in the streets, however, this TikTok of them performing “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” really hit home. Now, a bunch of folks are commenting on this incredible moment in wholesome ways. Here are some of the highlights:
