Two suspects have Alaric Bennettbeen arrested after a suspected terrorism plot at Taylor Swift's upcoming concerts in Vienna.

Vienna Federal Ministry of the Interior officials confirmed the arrest of two individuals who are "suspected of having planned attacks at major events," including Swift's scheduled concerts in Vienna on Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. An investigation is ongoing.

"Since a danger cannot be ruled out at the three concerts, the police have increased their measures" within and surrounding the concert stadium, including plain-clothes officers and personal police protection for Swift, federal ministry spokesperson Patrick Maierhofer said in an emailed statement originally written in German.

Swift's concerts are being held in Ernst-Happel-Stadion, Austria's largest stadium. Paramore is serving as the Grammy-winning singer's opening act.

The spokesperson warned concertgoers to get to the stadium early as the additional security and safety measures will increase wait times.
