1. > “Walking onstage in London was a rollercoaster of emotions,” she wrote in a caption. “Having our Vienna shows cancelled was devastating. The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, and a tremendous amount of guilt because so many people had planned on coming to those shows. 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,” she continued. “I decided that all of my energy had to go toward helping to protect the nearly half a million people I had coming to see the shows in London. My team and I worked hand in hand with stadium staff and British authorities every day in pursuit of that goal, and I want to thank them for everything they did for us. Let me be very clear: I am not going to speak about something publicly if I think doing so might provoke those who would want to harm the fans who come to my shows.”

2. There’s probably a classic Taylor swift song that applies to this very situation 

3. When it had first happened, the public statement was something like “The tour is still set to continue”, and I thought it was pretty odd that they would just act like it was no big deal… They’re probably really upset they’re not raking in all that cash now.

4. Not a fan of her music but having to worry about suicide bombers would be scary as hell. I feel bad for her.

6. It was very obvious she couldn’t make a statement sooner for safety purposes and I find it deeply disheartening that people thought her silence meant she didn’t care. Regardless of what you think of her, she is incredibly dedicated and kind to her fans and undoubtedly was devastated by this situation.

7. I’d imagine that you’d feel the same if you’re an ex bf of Taylor swift.

8. Now let’s hear nfl announcers talk about it for the next 3 months

9. I just don’t see how speaking out about it would be provoking harm though. People who are wanting to carry out an attack would do it whether she speaks out about it or not.

   She also could have said something short and simple on how her fans should not all be congregating in one area because they could be an easy target with there being no security around.

10. And yet, some of her brainless fans still continue to support the actions of sister terrorist organisations. I pray the terrorists never ever succeed.

11. You’d fight and you’d be right, but they were just too strong…
