“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,” she added.

In her post, Swift also praised the efforts of the authorities who thwarted the planned attack.

Swift’s shows in Vienna were canceled after authorities warned of a planned terror plot by sympathizers of the Islamic State armed group.

Three suspects have been detained by Austrian police over the alleged attack. The US said that it shared intelligence to assist in the probe.
