Taylor Swift makes grand return to the stage with heightened safety measures after terror threat

Taylor Swift will return to the stage in London on Thursday for the first time since terror threats shut down a string of her concerts in Vienna, Austria, last week.

Three people have been arrested in connection to a terror plot to kill concert goers at three of Swift concerts in Austria, and three young girls were killed at a Swift-themed dance event in the United Kingdom last month, which led to riots throughout England.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan said the city is working with the Metropolitan Police to ensure the concert is a safe event, and Wembley Stadium said it will work closely with police, the Safety Advisory Group, and other relevant authorities “to ensure that the stadium’s security protocols meet the highest standards," according to its website.

“London plays host to a significant number of very high profile events each year with millions of visitors having a safe and enjoyable experience,” a spokesperson for the London Metropolitan Police told CNN. “There is nothing to indicate that the matters being investigated by the Austrian authorities will have an impact on upcoming events here in London. As always, we will continue to keep any new information under careful review.”

Attacks on concert venues are rare, but a bombing in 2017 killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. The bombing also injured hundreds of other concert attendees.

Swift's sold-out concerts will take place from Thursday through Tuesday, and are part of her Eras tour.
