Travis Kelce is worried about his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, after a terrorist attack nearly took place at one of the pop superstar’s Eras Tour shows in Vienna, Austria, Page Six can reveal. “He’s very concerned,” a source exclusively tells us Thursday, adding that the Kansas City Chiefs player, 34, “immediately” contacted Swift, also 34, when he heard the news.
We’re told, however, that Kelce has no plans to rush over to Europe to be by the “You Belong With Me” singer’s side because of his NFL commitments. The Chiefs tight end and his teammates are currently in training camp to prepare for the 2024 football season, which kicks off on Sept. 5.
On Wednesday, Austrian authorities arrested two suspects who allegedly targeted Swift’s Eras Tour.
The unidentified 19-year-old and 17-year-old reportedly became radicalized by ISIS online and pledged allegiance to the Islamic state as recently as July.
According to Austrian news outlet Kronen Zeitung, police raided one of the teen’s homes, where he had been living with his parents, and found various chemicals and substances.
More details about the terrorist attack were released Thursday, including that the two young men allegedly planned to drive a bomb-filled car into the crowd at Ernst Happel Stadium to kill as many as possible.
According to officials, the teens were hired to work security inside the venue, and allegedly planned to murder concertgoers with self-made explosives and machetes.
The suspects remain in police custody, but Swift’s team took precaution either way by canceling all three of her upcoming shows in Vienna this weekend, which were scheduled for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
“With confirmation from the government officials of a planned terrorist attack … we have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone’s safety,” concert organizer Barracuda Music wrote via Instagram on Wednesday.
Swift has not yet spoken out about the terrifying ordeal, but it appears Kelce has been able to provide the Grammy winner with some comfort in the time-being.
The football star, who has been dating Swift for over a year and plans propose to soon, has attended several of her Eras Tour shows overseas while he was on hiatus from the NFL.
Most recently, he attended the “Lover” singer’s concert in Germany, where the couple endured yet another frightening incident.
